This thread houses two questions that I've wanted to find information on.
#1
Recently I bought a Betta. Got the proper water, food, and the like. The tank/container I bought for him is 1 gallon with a live plant inside. What type I would have to look at the tag.
One, is 1 gallon too small?
Here's the catch. My betta is rather large. About 4 inches.
#2
I have a Red Tail Shark that I've had for about a year now. Not sure the gender. It's reached it's maximum growth size I believe. Just short of 6 inches. Currently it's living in a 30 gallon tank with a good sized hiding place and Three tank buddies. Two small Tiger Barbs and one Black Neon Tetra.
My question is if the tank is too small for the Shark? From what I can see the shark doesn't seem stressed. It rather enjoys chasing the other fish with no ill effects.
All Advice is welcome!
