Is This A Safe Combination?

[Oscar Betta]

Would this be a safe combination of fish together? 3 Cory Cats, 2 ADF and 1 male betta? Or would the betta mess with them too much?

Really depends of the individual bettas temperament.

I have kept a betta, cories and ADF's together before without problems, but like I say, each betta has its own temperament. Some will be fine whereas others will not tolerate any other fish in the tank.

I'd recommend you put a min of 6 corys together to get more natural behaviour, if the tank isnt big enough for 6 than have a look at the smaller pygmy cory species.

Ok, thanks guys. What is the minimum number of gallons that the tank can be?

 

[Assaye]

For a school of 6 non-dwarf corys that reach 2-3 inches, I'd like to see them in at lest 15 imperial gallons.

For pygmys, 6 in a 6-10 gallon with a decent footprint should be fine.

Ok thanks, this will help a lot.

ADF's are great little things - try and feed them by hand or tweezers, as the betta is likely to eat all their bloodworm before the frogs can smell it as their eyesight isn't that good.

That's exactly how I feed my current ones. Like this- http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEWjYvj9gu4
