[skulls]

30 litres tank ,one male betta ,5 cories catfish ,getting along together... can i put some platies to my tank

I had exactly the same setup you did but had 3 platys as well and they all got along fine so I would say yes but I would wait for a second opinion

Platies get on fine with Bettas 99% of the time.... It should be fine.

heya,

30L is about 8G right? platties are fine with bettas but i would be careful not to overstock your tank. If you put in just a pair of platties or something (maybe a trio) it would probably work

yeah 30 L=8 gallons i think i dunno what to put !!! but i`m thinking of putting guppies rather than platies.... any advice ?

 

[cutecotton]

guppies and bettas don't go the guppies usually have a very fancy tail that the betta sees as competition (and could possibly think of it as another betta), and cuase him to attack the guppies, which is a bad thing because chances are both sides will be hurt.

so with the 1 male and 5 cories you already have 6 fish, i'd suggest you just get a pair of platties to top it off and you should probably stop there for now

yeah thanks for the advice ...

Hi skulls

If you have an 8 gallon tank with one betta and 5 corys you might well be overstocked already. What kind of corys do you have?
