I have a 5.5 gallon betta tank. I just bought a sponge filter for it. I'm interested in having some neon tetras in it too. I want to know if this is unusual or a bad idea or alright. I know Neon Tetras are good in groups so I was thinking 5 Neon Tetras. Tell me what you think.

NO!!!!!
I had the same setup but my bettas started eating the tetras food within a week and them it ate all the tetras. I still dont see how it could fit 1 whole tetra in its stomach..... Anyway I punished him by starving him for 3 days. At least he learned his lesson(I guess)
