Fish Fanatic
My girlfriends tank has 3 danios, 5 harliquins and a betta in it. came home today to find the betta cowering along the bottom of the tank and his tail is kinda torn.
i'm pretty sure it was the danios and i'm going to move him into another tank. i've got a tiny tank, more of a tub - its a 8''x5''x5'' kritter keeper type thing which i stick my fish in when doing tank makeovers and stuff.
I understand that the tank doesn't need to be filtered aslong as there's a 50% water change every week or so.
What should i do about heating the tank? and what temp should it be? I've seen those little heat mat things and could probably get a hold of one tomorrow.
Is the tank he's in big enough for him? he's not a very energetic swimmer but the pot he was in at the shop was much much smaller.
Whats the smallest tank he can be happy in?
I've got a spare 4ft tank which i'm deciding where to put, but i think that might be overkill at this point.
P.S. They've all been in the tank getting along happily for 2 weeks now but we put some new decor in, a fake tree with spiky fake leaves, my girfriend thinks that it might just be he caught his tail on it and thats why its suddenly got a tear in it. could this be the case?
thanks
