Advice:
Run now - it's too late for my bank account and nerves but you can still save yourselves.
Seriously though always quarantine, even first fish as treating nematodes in a heavily planted tank with inverts isn't easy.

Neons are way sturdier than what people generally claims.
About Yourself:
This is my 1st fish tank in more than 20 years (every kid had their goldfish in the '80s yknow!) and I intended to do things the right way with this one. I always liked fish, and I realize how much I missed looking at them swim around gracefully. So far so good, I'm hooked!
Fish Kept:
- 1 doubletail betta (he's blue and red with transparent fins and a brown face)
- 6 neon tetras
Corals/Plants:
Theres 4 different types of plants in my tank, I don't remember the names though... and yes, that bright pink plant is real! I squeezed fake plants btw my tank and the wall to hide the wires and create a background, the result is nicer IMO than all the ugly wallpapers they sells in petstores.
Tank Size:
5 gallons
Advice:
I'm a new hobbyist myself, I have this tank since 2 months only! All I'd say for now is:
Try stuff, get some info, use common sense and have fun!
Description:
My tiny 5 gal AA tank after 2 months.
It houses a few neons and Double tail betta (butterfly pattern I think)--you can see him on top of the tank in full view. I also have 2 pigmy cories waiting to join the fun, they are in a small quarantine tank for now.
