Aquarium Advice Newbie
Ok, no fish yet (waiting to come back from vacation next week). Have a 29 gal filled (water and decorations, no fish) and am about to fill and "decorate" a 5 gallon minibow (has filter and heater). Others are just options Ive thought about. I have 2 10 gallons hiding out in the trunk of my car (dont let my husband know!!! )
Please let me know your opinons on these combos!
What do you think of a male betta, 2 adf and a mystery snail in a 5 gallon mini bow?
Too much? Think they'd kill each other? Sounds like a really really fun tank to me, lots to see and do, but I know so little. Id be heartbroken if someone died or got hurt b/c they didnt get along.
Im thinking also maybe a 10 gallon w/ 4 adfs and 2-3 mystery snails and a platy or two.
Or a 10 gallon split into 2 (or 3) with 2 (or 3) male bettas separated by that mesh tank divider. Would put a snail maybe in each?
Or, a male betta and 3 cories in the 5 gallon minibow.
Just kind of thinking up new community tanks for myself. grin
I think Ive finalized my 29 gallon will be as follows:
8 platys
4 female bettas
2 black mollies
5 panda cories
2 apple snails
Sound good? Would you put anything else in there? What would eat the livebearers fry before I could see them?
Would ADFs go in there?
If I dont kill any (many?) fish within a month or so, I might get a 35 gallon hex for my family room.
Oh, Im cycling with biospira- my LFS heartily recommended it.
Thanks!
