After moving my moms betta back to her sorority and an ich outbreak that occurred while I was away for a few days, in my 15 gallon tank I now have 2 male guppies, 1 rubberlip pleco and 10 neons.
What fish (or pair) could I add as a centerpiece fish? Something pretty...
Not interested in dwarf or honey gouramis, I have some in a separate tank :)
Suggestions!?
 
Also I was thinking about moving my male betta from his little 3 gallon into the 15 but I was worried about the guppies. Any experiences with mixing male bettas and male guppies?
 
My betta tends to chase fish that is brightly colored but u always can try it out and see
 
I know from experience that it really depends on the beta. I tried to add my male beta to my 55g with some other livebearers and it didnt work out too well. But about a year ago i had a different beta in my 16 with some tetras.
So it is a 50/50 chance you will have a fight on your hands.
 
Hmmm maybe I'll put him in there and see how it goes...
I'm also considering a pair of gbr?
What is another relatively small, colorful fish with some personality?
 
I have two male Bettas. One of them was kept in a 10 gallon tank with two guppies. The Betta cornered each guppy so that their back fins got caught in the filter. I lost both guppies no more than a week after puttting the Betta in. Word to the wise keep the Betta's away from anything but Pleco's Catfish and I've found success with African Dwarf Frogs.
 
Well I just "tested" my betta by putting my finger in the tank, which he immediately flared at and attacked lol. So I think putting him in the others may be a bad idea. Then again, maybe hes just mad at me or something lol, I do have 3 ghost shrimp and a small snail with him that he leaves alone. Idk.
 
Okay, I read that somewhere too. They're so pretty though lol, ****.
 
Yeah once they settle in their colors are so vibrant. You could possibly do maybe one ram but I honestly don't know. Hopefully someone with more knowledge could help
 
If I can, I think I will do one gbr and maybe another male guppy. Still not sure though..
 
That sounds pretty stocked already.. Sorry... The only real centerpiece good for a 15 would be a dwarf gourami which i know you dont want to hear. Honestly dont add anything else.
