Emerald Dwarf Raz in a 5 Gal?
At the moment, I have somewhere between 3-5 (or more? / possible Fry in the breeder net) EDR in the community tank of various species. There're no signs of bullying, but they're almost always in the back of the (planted / scaped) tank. They're also the smallest thing in the tank (smaller than the shrimp even).
We have a 5 gal that Was being used as the hospital tank until the 5.5 was ready for the male betta (currently in the 3 gal / new fish), so my brain is going "huh, what could I do with That tank?". I'll likely migrate the driftwood from the 3 gal, purchase a 3D print cave I've been eyeing, and use the available gravel / sand that's in the "we need to use this" bucket. I'll have to get a couple other things for the tank no matter what it's used for, but that's what I'm working with.
So the question is, can I move the EDR to that 5 gal with maybe a couple nerites / shrimp for company? Ideally, I'll need to get quite a bit of their favorite plants / moss as well, but that's part of the build process either way.
