Two Possible Betta Tanks

Thats not an option of mine, sorry. Im getting fish

If they don't have Galaxy Rasboras or Ember Tetra's don't buy Neons as like we've said, they are too active and you don't have to buy fish...
 
Make sure you have a back-up plan because some males won't tolerate tankmates at all... Some get on with them, some hate them. Add the betta last to try and calm the aggression a little bit.

i mean you can just get a betta or maybe 2 with a divider, bettas love being solatary.

Then I can see you keeping fish in tanks too small. That's my opinion.

 

[rikkitiger]

Ok. My fully fledged plan of action:

Go to walmart on monday, tomorrow

Get two bettas, both female
Put one in the betta jar.
Put one in the ten gallon.
Get ember tetras if they have them at walmartor rasboras. (How many can i have? I would like to have both species.)

If the female doesnt work in the mason jar, seperate the ten gallon and house it there.
If they dont have rasboras or embers, dont get other fish

are these tanks cycled?

 

[rikkitiger]

Yes

 

[Paradise3]

Whoa! You need to cycle your tank first which takes between 1-2 months

 You answered and it didn't notify me. How did you cycle them and for how long?
 
Only get one species or the other because the 10 gallon is only big enough for one shoal since they need 6-8+. 

 

[ncguppy830]

for how long?
what are the parameters?

 

[rikkitiger]

I did this:

I filled the tank yesterday with dechlorinated tap water and its been sitting ever since.

 

[ncguppy830]

[rikkitiger]

O ill be honest with you then. I think since this is my first tank imm gonna skip the cycling for now. Sorry. Thanks for being concerned

 

[ncguppy830]
