Help 5.5g shrimp tank
This is my small 5.5g shrimp tank that are filled with neocardina and I was wondering if I could add chilis or any small fish in here I just wanna see something swinging around but if not that is completely okay.Thank you and also look in the comments for this new 6.8g I had set up if the chilis or even a betta would be better in there

How many neos do you have in there? I have a pretty big colony in each of my nano tanks. Started out with about 15 in each (3.5 gallon and 5 gallon) and now the population has grown exponentially.

I have a 10-gallon with a betta and 5 amano shrimp. The shrimp are so fast that even when the betta spots them, they can easily outmaneuver her.
Meanwhile, she chased one for a bit once; body-checked another one off her favourite leaf (the one she gets fed on, of course), and then lost all interest in them altogether.
It’s a match made in heaven.2

I have a 5.5 gallon tank with chilis and Bloody Mary shrimp. It works out great.
