What fish are best for a 3-gallon tank? Can bettas have tank mates?

Question

Hello! I have a 3-gallon tank at home that I previously used for my betta fish. Now I am looking to purchase another fish (possibly a few fish) but I am not quite sure what my options are. What types of fish would you suggest for a 3-gallon tank and how many of each kind I could get. Also if I do end up getting a betta, are there any other aquatic animals I could place with him or not? Thanks for your time and help, Tori. Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish

Hi Tori, I have found that fancy guppies are pretty, fun, and small fish that would do well in a small tank. Mollies would be another good choice. A 3 gallon could probably support 3 or 4 of them well. Beta fish don't seem to care much about snails in My experience. Have fun!
