10 gallon stocking

[Giant Danio]

My ten gallon stocking idea's:
1 electric blue dwarf crayfish
1 male Betta and 3 male guppy's

The tank will be cycled with a PH of 7.9
2 big fake plants 1 castle with a cave in the bottom and 1 fake rock cave with 2 more small fake plants on it. Tell me what you think.
Thanks

 

[Giant Danio]

And can someone tell me all that they know about dwarf cray's

 

[allaboutfish]

guppys will die bc of bettas

 

[Giant Danio]

Guppy's are out of the question then maybe some neons?
Any suggestions of a small schooling fish to go with the Betta and cray

 

[Giant Danio]

Maybe some harlequin rasabora's

 

[allaboutfish]

neons are too small and would get eatin by the cray. i dont even know if the betta will live since its slow

 

[allaboutfish]

harlequins might work since theyre fast

 

[Giant Danio]

neons are too small and would get eatin by the cray. i dont even know if the betta will live since its slow

But the dwarf cray only gets 3-5 inches max are you sure he might get the Betta

 

[allaboutfish]

5 inches is 3 inches bigger then he gets

No, I wouldn't do it, the betta will be stressed from running from the cray, they like to chill on the bottom (I have a betta hammock that mine uses near the surface) eventually the cray will get him

+1 to that, my guy is forever chilling on leaves on the bottom of the tank. He would make a REALLY easy meal for the cray.
Have you considered having a betta community tank, and a separate tank for the cray?
atletyou do 't have to worry abut accidental meals that way!

guppys will die bc of bettas

Well that really depends on the Betta...my first Betta didn't mind guppies at all but when he died and I got a new Betta he hated them

 

[allaboutfish]

oh and electric blues dont velong in a 10 gallon or 20 gallon they can get big

 

[hippy guy]

Yeah bettas are basically like that with any fish. I have a betta that hates cory cats (probobly cuz there always flying around so fast) but my crowntail swims doesn't even notice them.. but he dislikes neons..and most anything else in "his" 5 gal. Lol

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

Betta's, just like any other fish, have a personality. Its all according to the individual Betta's dispostion.

 

[hippy guy]

Hey grimm, do you know if personality traits are linked at all to the type of betta, like crowntail, delta...ect.

 

[JennaSimpson]

I'm not sure about traits being linked unless it's something to do with breeding but my crowntail is extremely easy going he just lays around , while my female is also calm but particularly like to many fish around her at once . One or twos fine but anymore than that and she darts off .

 

[JennaSimpson]

But doesn't particularly ***

 

[hippy guy]

Yeah my crowntail was very laidback, but I just threw that up to him not being able to swim as fast as my delta tail betta, who chases anybody he can find lol

I have a half-moon tail that is super chill. Him and my cards play hide and go seek, and he likes to get down eye to eye with my amanos and watch them. He isn't quite sure what to think of the harlequins though. I imagine him as this 80 yo grandpa yelling at them to shut up and stay off the grass.
