10 gallon tank

[saminstockport]

ive got a spare 10 gallon tank ( when my babie guppies grow up) and i am considering getting a betta but what fish could live with him??? if theres not many compatible i may have to make it a dwarf puffet tank.

some cories.. uhh..

hmm... maybe some.. platys ?? maybe some dull ugly platies lol..

but im sure ya know he will attack bright fish

Er...10g is not big enough for a grow out tank i suggest you get at least a 20g gl with em lil critters!

im gonna let the little ones grow a bit n then put some into my 30 g and see what happens.

you could divide the 10g 3 ways and put 3 bettas in at once with cories or ottos

i know you all have bettas in small containers but i thought a semi comunity tank with one realy nice betta would look good and the fish would be happier. or will they be just as happy in 3.3 gallon sections??

I have a male in 5gal and a female in a 10 gal community and they seem happier than the ones in 1 gal tanks.

One of my bettas has a 10 gallon planted tank all to himself. Well, there are a couple of snails that hitch-hiked onto plants, and my betta flares at them occasionally. He seems to enjoy the space!

I am also setting up a 10g for my soon to arrive CT/HM cross from aquabid and am trying to decide what might go well.I can't remember if neon tetras were considered to be compatible or not.I have five in a smaller tank but I won't put them in if it's not a good idea.I will consider some of the other suggestions though.

And I agree,bettas seem happier with more space.
