Rainbowfish And Bettas

[kizno1]

do you think some threadfin or neon rainbow fish would be ok in my 30g with female bettas? i want to get rid of all the livebeares and want somethink to replace them.
and i heard that rainbowfish sometimes eat plants do you think they will eat my java ferns?

Hiya!

As far as tank size goes there minimum is only 60l
This link might help with the other question (Look at peoples comments)

thanks
i knew my tank was big enough because i was going to get them before but i was more worried about how they would be with my female bettas

They should be fine, although I would think that threadfins might get their long fins nipped by the bettas.

 

[kizno1]

what type do you think would work best then?
and will they eat my java ferns?

 

[minxfishy]

I would say that praecox should be ok with them and IME they dont eat Java Fern, but they will need some kind of veg in their diet.

 

[kizno1]

well i normally add peas for the bettas and cucumber or the bns and upside down catfish so will they be ok with that or do i need more.

 

[minxfishy]

That will be fine, occassionally put in some soft lettuce leaves they may nibble on that and frogbit if you have any.
