[guppy_man]

hi i have got 3 white cloud mountain minnows in my 20 gal but i think its a bit over stocked so i was thinking they can live in room temp and my betta lives in room temp so can my minnows go in with my 1 female betta plz tell me if its a bad suggestion.

I guess you could, providing that you do frequent water changes and your betta approves. I think white clouds should really be in groups of 5+, but I have three in a 5 gallon with Mini and they do great. I'd get some more and move them to the 10 gallon if my LFS would ever get anymore in

some white cloubs have longer brighter tails than others, the betta wont be happy about being upstaged by another pretty fish if they have shorter fins and dont nip at the betta then it should be fine, infact mr. betta might even enjoy the entertainment

One note: they are not a tropical fish, and should not be in temperatures higher than about 75.
