Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello!
So I followed the advice you guys gave me and took my goldfish out and gave it to a friend. And I struck lucky to upgrade my 30L tank and now have a 50L one. ATM I have a Kuhli loach, 2 Red eye Tetras and 2 neon Tetras in it.
I have taken a huge liking in Tiger Barbs recently and would love to have a few of them but I think this tank is too small for them to live alongside the tetras. Especially because the Red eyes seem to panic/get nervous very easily. The 2 neons seem very playfull and cheerfull. The loach is also very happy. (had to drag him out from under the filter yesterday!)
Meanwhile my sister has bought herself a male Betta which is now living in a 5L bowl. He was in about 500ml of water at the pet shop and seems plenty happy now. I'm giving her the 30L tank for the Betta and was considering giving her the 4 tetras as well. They should be fine with the Betta based on what I have read and heard at various places. Then I can get 4 or 5 Tiger barbs for my tank. I was gonna do Cichlids but I want to decorate the tank myself...
And please I don't want to start a stupid argument like my previous post where some guy said I was arguing when I hadn't even replied yet!
Apologies for the long post.
Regards
Heinrich
