Female Betta And Tetra

i just got a nice female betta an dwas just confirming is it ok that the bettas tankmates are 9 x-ray tetra 1 botia kubotai and a hillstream loach

should be fine with the tetra but not with tthe hillstream loach. bettas need a temp about 27-28c but hillstream loach prefer it about 18-22c

Which species of Betta?

can i ask y not with the hillstream loach and why do people say it cant go with tetra or is that thelarger tetra with a male betta

this looks a bit like her just the head is black and bottom fins red

bought from world of fishes east grinsted

because there sub tropical fish. where they come from isnt a tropical place

oh ok thanks

thats wat i thought just over protive people are lol

Betta's and tetra's in generally a no no, but see how it goes, if things kick off then separate them.

will do thanjks guys

I think you'll be fine with the pristella tetra. Ive kept 9 with a VT Male Betta Splenden and never had a problem. The pristella (X-ray) tetra are one of the most peaceful of the speie and stay small. A really great fish!

If they're in the 34l then asking if the fish are compatible is the least of your worries right now. That tank is extremely overstocked and some of the fish are going to grow far too big for that tank aswell as not being kept in the correct numbers.

Polka dot loach - Grows to 5" n should be kept in a group of 3 or more
Hill stream loach - As mentioned it likes cool fast flowing water (Bettas are the exact opposite)
Xray Tetras - I personally wouldn't have them in a 34l, it depends on dimensions but it just doesn't seem quite big enough full stop... either ways it's not that bad and it is more of a personal preference than a 'If you leave them in there they'll get ill'.
Female Betta - Shouldn't be a problem with any tetras, short finned bettas are normally fine (male or female).

I really would get your stocking levels sorted, if you re-homed/upgraded the loaches to tanks more suitable to them then you 'might' be ok stocking wise. But it'd still be very heavily stocked and need very regular and very good maintenance.

Agree with ^

You stated your tank size as being 34L before? Did you upgrade the tank? any chance of pictures and/or tank measurements?
