many small fish such as small tetras, rasboras, smaller shrimp, guppies, platies, endlers, etc. or, you could get a betta with a small school of tetras as long as neither of them are fin nippers as their personalities vary by individual.... (the betta would love you for all the room)
It is recommended to keep a minimum of 6 neon tetras in a single aquarium to ensure they feel comfortable and exhibit their natural behavior.
Male and female tetras can often be distinguished by their size and coloration. In many species, males are typically smaller and more brightly colored than females. Additionally, male tetras may have more elongated fins or other physical characteristics that help them attract females during mating rituals. It is important to note that these differences can vary between species of tetras.
The fish bowl must be at least 1 gallon. You can fit 3-5 tetras in there. However, if you put them in a fish tank with a filter, they will live longer and will be healthier.
