    Quail as pets?

    I have always wanted to have chickens since i was 7 years old, but in the neighborhood I live in, the HOA doesn’t allow them, or any poultry :hit However, I’ve recently been looking into quail and how they are quiet and perfect for urban farming.

    Can I keep rosy red minnows in a 5.5 gallon tank?

    Can I keep rosy red minnows in a 5.5 gallon tank?

    The Angry Hen, thanks for the reply. I think it might be a black Japanese bandtam.
