Asking for a 55 For X-mas

[Rach101]

Im going to ask for a 55 for Xmas, and i want to stock it with Female bettas and catfish sorts, and maybe other types, but i want the main point of the tank to be on such.
Any ideas for how many bettas and (( What kinds )) catfish I can stock. And What should I add first, how many and at what intervals.
I wouldnt want to pay more then 20$ for a catfish.. However I would make that exception for a few such as queen arabasque plecos.

...Yes I overslept..By uh..Four hours.. Sorry school .-.

Rach, we gotta fix that alarm clock, don't we????

Do I need to place a phone call to you in the morning.

Oh yeah, your post.... good luck with the Christmas present.

Actually, I sort of woke up but my foot was too swollen to walk. Mind you that was three hours before my initial wake up time.. and I went back to sleep.. But.
.. * coughs * .... O.O No i think i can wake up just fine now lol

Oh and, I wouldn't mind a larger catfish or two, but I also want some cories and such aswell.

You could get some upside-down catfish, they're supposed to be great for a community, and something different from the typical cories.

cory catfish are awesome

 

[Rach101]

Well I'm not sure how well Female bettas and upside down catfish would go together. Thats the one definite I want, is that i want the centerpiece of the tank to be the female bettas and catfish.

 

[Hrafnkel]

I've never heard anything whatsoever bad about the upside down cats. They're supposed to be just as peaceful as any cory would be, from what I understand.

i wouls suggest rapheal cat fish. dont know if that is their real name but that is what our local fish store calls them. i have never seen them anywhere else. they are black with white stripes all down the side of them. they are really peacful and look really cool. if u can find a pic it is a good catfish to add

 

[Rach101]

I wonder how much they would cost.. I've seen them though, they are beautimus.

I was also wondering if it would be better to order the Female bettas off of a site like Liveaquaria, then to go out to the store and buy them for five dollars each...even though..itd..be..saving..them.. * Wipes tear from her eye *

 

[oscarbreeder]

If you want some great female bettas check out www.bluebettausa.com

 

[Rach101]

._. I don't really mind if they arent gorgeous.. (( Aka. The site has beautiful bettas that will make rachels wallet bleed ))

 

[severum mama]

If you like the raphael catfish, there is also a spotted one. I just acquired mine for free- beautiful fish!

BTW I really hope your mom buys you the tank for Christmas.

 

[Rach101]
