What size tank do you have?

 

I believe it's a 5 gallon.

 

Any tank under 55gal is far too small for a pleco! For a 5 gal, all you can really add are shrimps.

 

Too small for any Pleco species with their huge bioload.

ADF should have at least three to assure long term health. A five is too small for that if you have two Nerite. I know people have fewer than three but ADF are extremely social and need others to feel secure.

Two Nerite is all I would put in a five gallon as they have a pretty high bioload, too.

 

Too small for any Pleco species and their huge bioload. With ADF the minimum number to assure long term health is three and a five is too small for that, too. I know people have fewer ADF but if we are thinking about their well-being we won't get fewer as they are extremely social and need others to feel secure.

Oh thanks for that! I'd prefer something without a huge bioload. I had a mystery snail and honestly he didn't seem to clean anything! My nertile seems to stick to one wall of the tank. He moves around but he's very very slow. Do they like the company of other snails?

 

I have a Horned and a Zebra in my 5.5 but I don't think company matters.

 

Does anyone have experiences with either if these guys with their bettas?

I once put 2 albino BN fry in my 2 foot tank with my Betta she ate both.
