15l Biorb As Betta Tank

[Craig89]

is ok to keep bettas in a 15l biorb if so how many would i be able 2 have ?

Well in a normal shaped tank (square,rectangle) 15l is perfect for 1 betta. But as its a Biorb, the best advice i can gve you is that they are only suitable for snails and shrimps when heavely planted.

Round tanks are awkward for fish to swim in so its advisable to just keeping the snails or shrimps.

You can't keep male bettas with other males or with females. Females can be kept together in a group of at least four, but 15 litres is nowhere near big enough for that number.

A recangular 15 litre tank is only suitable for one betta, either male or female, but not a biorb as betta 246 said

a 15 litre biorb is fine for either a male or female betta, providing its cycled

1 betta it is then


how can u tell the difference between male and female

I wouldn't put a betta in the bi-orb as 15l is the absoloute minimum for a betta and as the tank is a sphere the betta will have much less swimming space.
Also the filter is too strong for a betta.

male betta splendens will be kept on their own in shops, and they have longer fins

The filter in the biorb isnt strong, as far as i know its the same filter in all biorbs and its quite a gentle one.
