Hi!
I currently have a fully cycled 10 gallon fish tank with 6 WCMM, and I wanted to add a little more color, though I'm absolutely in love with them!!!! I was thinking about a betta fish, but many people say bettas are tropical and warm water is a must..
I don't get this because in the past a have had bettas in unfiltered, unheated, small tanks and they lived for a VERY long time. The first beta I ever had even stayed in untreated water inside a plant vase. ( I was very young and had no idea how to care for him) Even in those conditions, he lived for 2 years!!!!( actually 3 because he was a year old when I got him) And please don't go off on me about any of this stuff, because I didn't know better, but I do now.
My real question is
Would I be able to keep a betta in my 10 gallon with my WCMM? The pH is 7.4 and the temperature is 71 F.
I really want to know if they are compatible and if I have enough room left for a betta. I would be willing to get a female if I needed to. I also want to know if my pH is good for a Betta.
I really hope I don't come across as mean, and if you think this really isn't possible, a suggestion on 1 small colorful fish to put in there would be appreciated (if there are any).
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope you have a great day!!!!!
