i have a betta in a 2 gal with a 200lph filter in it can i get tankmates

anything i dont care

[Eolith]

No, I don't think you should get any tank mates. No matter how good the filter is, there just isn't very much overall space. It would most likely end up in either your betta or the tankmate being badly beaten up and possibly dying as a result. A 2 gallon is really only adequate for your betta.

I'm not even gutsy enough to put anything into my filtered 5 gallon tank with the single betta that is in there for exactly the same reasons.

shrimp?

[xSomethingSmellsFishyx]

I think it depends on what you think. Do you think, or do you even want tankmates for your betta?

Eolith is right. Filtration isn't the issue, size is. Bettas can be very terretorial in smaller places. 2 gallons is adequate for your betta only.

Eolith, you could probably put a few rosy red minnows in there, with no problems, just ask alexXx

2 gallons is a great size for one betta, anymore then that is over stocking. You'll run into territorial issues on top of waste issues.
If you want a shrimp or two, I would upgrade to a 5 gallon. If you'd like larger fish, upgrade to a 10 or larger gallon.
I hope that helps!

yep, and if you want algae eaters, just ask angelic scars for tips

so if you would, I'm going shoping 2morow for a sorority, and I want some oto cats, so could you give me advice for them. thanks
