    melafix question!!

    Stocking 20 gal.. need help.

    if i am not mistaken.... since you cycled with fish, and added that many fish at once wont it over do the bio load and cause sorta a mini cycle? besides that.... i think female bettas are fine with those fish you mentioned. i have only heard of female bettas fighting each other.
