I got a betta, 5 ghost shrimp and 3 endlers last night. I was going to do the galaxy rasboras but I saw the endlers and couldn't resist. I didn't think they sold endlers near me but spotted these cobras at petsmart while looking for the ghost shrimp so I got 3 of them. Could I get more of the endlers or shrimp? The betta was marked as male Berra but I think he's a veiltail. I put up a morror to see what he looked like when he flared and he's beatiful. He's got a nice beard and nice long fins. He has a little tear or two in his tail but I saved him so I hope to fix him up. He's got a black face and a blue/green mix body. I'll get pics up later/ or tomorrow.

Hey, I'm glad you finally got yourself a Betta! Please post pics when you get a chance.

By the way, I always thought Bettas & Guppies weren't good together since the Guppies are too colorful & flowing finned for Bettas to allow them to live. Aren't Cobra Endlers similar in that regard?

Hey! I just ordered the Fluval Chi today! It should be here on wednesday, and I'm working on getting all the extras set up. I am going to get a betta and was thinking of adding 5 zebra danios as well. I would rather have neon tetras because I love their colors (and I always had some form of pretty little tetras when I was younger), but I'm not sure if they are TOO small to have with a betta.

Anyways, I am excitedly waiting for you to post pictures of the tank (no pressure there)! And I also want to know how your tankmates all get along once you get them. Also, how many plants are you going to have in there? Because there's only that little square middle part, and adding other plants around it might disrupt the "chi" of the Fluval Chi, if you know what I mean. I got the simple fake grass for the middle, but I still have to decide another tall flow-y plant to shove in the middle of that. Also I haven't got the lid because my husband said because it is twelve dollars we need to "wait and see" if we need it. I hope that doesn't mean "wait and see if a fishy jumps out and dies". I could probably make a lid out of some sort of... something...

Exciting!

Danios need a much bigger tank, really, much bigger! They are fast swimmers and will not be happy in such a small tank.

Yeah, basically I have come to the conclusion that I will just get one betta and let him be happy all by himself. I have my fluval chi all set up with decor and plants, now I'm just fishless cycling it. Let me know if anyone wants to see a picture or anything.

We always want to see pictures, go for it!

I think that you could do with 1-2 male endlers

Ok and ruskull I'm not sure but I think it should be ok. It is ok right now but I really like they're colors. I'll try and get pics tonight but first I need to do my homework.

How big is a Fluval Chi anyway? Aren't they like 5 gallons?

 

[Man of fish]

Mine is 5 gallons it's 10x10x12 but there's also a 6.6 gallon one.

I'll get pics up tomorrow. I have to go to bed in 15 minutes. Not enough time with my computer. Soon enough I won't need to wait I'm getting an iPhone with a camera.

 

[Man of fish]

Well I kind of forgot to add pics so without further wait here is my betta. Not sure yet on name but as of now he's azul nicknamed azzie.

UPDATE:

The betta killed my 5 ghost shrimp :'(. Oh well. The tanks looking good and next time I'm at petsmart I'll pick up another male endler or two along with the other fish I'm getting.

Oops my post is in yours ruskull lol sorry.

It's all good...............

That's a great looking Betta, I love the blue & "Azule" is Spanish for blue so that name fits perfectly. I had a Gold Gourami female that I named "Corona" because corona is Spanish for gold.


Good luck with him.
