Aquarium Advice Freak
So guys ive had lots of freshwater tanks and was scrolling on live Aquaria when I found a scarlet gem badis! So can they have tankmates?
I would reccomend some small tetras or a pipefish
tetras would work, and arguably pipefish would work as well. BUT, why PIPEFISH? they're notorious for being hard to care for since they NEED live food and you need to feed it constantly. I've not heard anyone recommending pipefish for tankmate except when they want a greater sense of achievement. furthermore, most lfs don't carry pipefish even when you special order them. You might as well just start a seahorse saltwater tank since seahorse is more readily available.
ps. if you do go the pipefish route, then you should start a tank of guppies because guppies are ready to breed 24/7 and the small fries are good food for the pipefish.
What kind of tetras ?
This is my stock is anything wrong 3 scarlet gems 1 male 2 females and 5 panda corys
I chose pipefish since they need small food like the badis. My badis needed live food too so I don't see a problem.
I have one microphis decota.
10 gallon I plant it densely
So I guess I can't do 3 scarlet badis and some black or white skirts
