I need more fish..

[NeilP]

Hi Guys,

I know i am going to get some rainbows for this tank when it is ready (the fish in my sig are currently in a 19gallon tank.

But what elso would you guys suggest they have as friends......

Also - i have a 'femal siamese fighting fish' - is that the same as a Betta?

Thanks

Yes, it's the same as a female Betta, which would be ok for a community tank by the way.

Thanks FanOFish,

Is it true that you should only have one male betta per tank?

That's very true...they aren't calle "fighting fish" for nothing.

They will fight, and seriously injury each other, if not kill each other. Although it is fine to keep more than one female betta in the same tank. I also would not recommend keeping a male and female together. He will eventually kill her after they have mated.
