I have often seen beautiful bettas but have stayed away from them since I don't know enough about their compatibility. Tonight I have been researching quite a bit and although I would love to have a gorgeous male in my large com. tank, I don't think it would work (tank contains cory's, sm. clown loaches, gold, white skirt and rummynose tetras, 3 danios and sparkling gourami) but my daughter bought a 5 gal with her xmas $ and the neons she has don't seem like they care for the small space. So, I am thinking about when I find the perfect betta for me moving her tetras to my big tank and giving a betta a 5 gal tank. It is an eclipse corner tank so it has a filter in the hood...the only water current would be from the water rolling off of the biofilter. I read quite a bit about bettas not liking strong currents and want to make sure this wouldn't be too much. The light keeps the tank water around 76-78 all day, with a small drop during the night. Even in the winter her room is the warmest so I haven't seen much temp change. There is a ghost shrimp in there, which doesn't matter if he becomes a snack because he was purchased for the dwarfpuffer who was there for a short time when she had to be removed from com. tank and was waiting for her own 10g. The only other inhabitants are the small snails I allow to breed for the above mentioned dwarfpuffer.
Does this sound like a doable plan? Betta, 5 gal tank, low current filter, heat source is light on top, and the snail population?
