I have a 15 gallon tank, that is a sorority and densely planted. Since it is filled with bettas the water movement is not all that great. I would like it to circulated better but I have no way to do it, suggestions on that is also welcome.
So the point, a small schooling fish that does good in fairly neutral, around 7.4-7.6 with softer water. The water is not circulated very well, need to find a solution, so a fish that cam do fine in low oxygen.
Aren't cherry barbs mainly sub tropical fish? Which means they can survive at tropical temperatures but there lifespans would we shortened and they would've more succeptable to diseases. Similar to a guppies situation.
With 5 bettas in a properly cycled, filtered, densely planted tank I think that you could only add a small 6-8 school of smaller fish such as neons or cardinals. Have you thought about ember, neon, cardinal, tetras, or glo light , harlequin, and scissor tail rasboras
Yeah. You do have a point, lots of Corydoras lifespans are shortened by how they are typically kept. In higher temperatures, I just thought that it would be greatly reduced as they are mainly sub tropical fish, while Corydoras are temperate fish
Did it go like fish _ _ _ _ _ _ . Net, of so then I understand, there are quite a few members on what website that are very strict when it comes to temperatures that fish should be kept in. I always thought the long term effects were minimal for certain Corydoras while they were more severe with cherry barbs,
and if it was that forum, I got flamed for saying that cherry barbs are schooling fish and for best results, you should have a group of 6+
No, the one run by PFK magazine. Apparently betta can only be kept at 80F. I tried offering advice on tank mates, and on there only snails are acceptable apparently.
I definitely agree. While not all Corydoras prefer and originate from cooler temperatures. That guideline should be followed with the ones that do originate form cooler waters
Awesome!, I will look into getting some. Hopefully find some females also. Shouldn't they ne kept in a ratio? I thought I heard that somewhere, correct me if I am wrong though.
I would get rummynoses but they probably enjoy more current then what the tank has to offer.
