New 7 Gallon - Stock Ideas?

[mattyeatsmatts]

Hey Guys so my new 7G Fluval Flora is due to be arriving tomorrow and I've been doing some minor research on stocking it.
(I am quite eager to get a few cherry shrimps in there as I have never had them before and fancy having a go, what do you think?)

As i've never really stocked a low volume tank before Im unsure of availability of fish, the tank is also going to be planted. Look forward to hearing some suggestions

7 Imperial Gallons
30W x 30L x 35H
Heated

Shrimp would be great in there.
Do a journal as you set it up

betta and shrimp

 

[Jakey02578]

Yes, like Fee de mer said, Betta and shrimp would look quite good in there!:')

 

[mattyeatsmatts]

But wont the Betta be pretty aggressive towards the shrimp?

 

[Jakey02578]

Don't think so:')

 

[Cazgar]

I have one that lives quite happily with shrimp, the other two thought they were a tasty snack, it depends on the Betta

 

[fee de mer]

i have ghost shrimp with mine and he ignores them, endlers could go in there too

 

[Cazgar]

Black bar endlers would be ok.
I tried with some double tailed blue ones & he didn't like those at all, so I returned them to the Lfs

 

[mattyeatsmatts]

If I did decide Endlers, how many?

 

[fee de mer]

depends with betta, three, without five

 

[mattyeatsmatts]

Oh thought you were on about shrimp and Endlers

 

[Cazgar]

In a 7 gallon, I'd have 3 endlers, 1 Betta & some shrimp

 

[mattyeatsmatts]

Ah okay, thanks all.

Gonna take in the decision about the Endlers
