Ok well everyone on this forum seems super helpful and friendly >.> so! I'll ask for help here...
I have a 10 Gal. tank cycling right now, and I was thinking of getting some female betas for it. I've been scanning these forums for a few days now, and read that you need to get around 3-6 females for them to live happily and not fight. So, how many should I get for my new tank
I also have a pleco that's going to go in there with them, which should be fine, he's a dark brown with black spots. Not sure if I plan on getting any other kind of fish for in the 10 gal. I'll worry about that later I think =D
I also know I need to pick up either more plants(silk) or replace the plastic ones I have with silk ones, (wasn't planning on beta females when I got this tank so I just picked up a package of the medium plastic ones from walmart =/) Also I think I need to get another cave if there is going to be more then 2-3 fish like i was intending. Oh! and I also read that you need to put them in all at once, because it's hard to introduce more or something like that. (All at once like buy them all together not just dump them in when I get them
)
Hehe, reason for wanting betas is I recently bought a male beta and I just love them! I have my male in a 1 gal. tank, thinking of buying a 2.5 for him as well as getting another/a 2.5 for another male, I want to see if I can find a HM around there, they're so pretty ^^. I'll post a picture of my male later on, if I can ever find my boyfriend's digital camera ><
Oh, another question about the filter this time. When you have to change the cartridge how do you do that and keep the bacteria? or are they just in the tank and it'll be no problem? Was a bit confused about that. I have an AquaTech 15-5 filter that came with the tank, is that to strong of a current?
Anyways thanks ahead of time for any feedback!!
