thinking of this..

2 ghost shrimp
1 mystery snail

is that ok for a 5 gallon? if it's too much, what can i take out? these shrimp look really cool to watch.
help?

IMO-that is just fine along with one Betta, provided that the needed water changes are being made.

I agree. It sounds good to me. Just make sure you do water changes.

*3* ghost shrimp.
is that ok?

Still good IMO.....

Yes that's fine too. Ghost shrimp have next to no bioload.

thank you guys! people say it's too much... THANK YOU!

i will keep in mind... 1 SNAIL, ONLY!

That's fine.. but is your tank cycled? Inverts (snails and shrimp) are very sensitive to water quality, the shrimp especially.

what 1f2f said. =]

If you have a 5 gallon you can have up to 5 shrimp, one snail, and a betta and still be good. =]
