I'm planning on getting a ten gallon soon and putting 3-5 Cory Catfish in there with one male betta. Is that enough room for them?
Also, how many female bettas can I keep in ten gallon as a sorority? Many people told me I should keep at least five together, but others say 3-4 is just fine.
as for the corries(coreys?) yes, I would just be a little worried if the betta was more agressive...but just add lost of plants and hiding spots...and add the other fish before the betta so they dont "intrude on his terirorry"..and also make sure you research what they eat and such before you purchase!...goodluck!
Well for cories you want at least 5. I would stick to the somewhat smaller ones; sterbais, julis, pandas and pygmies. The pygmies you could do a nice big group 10-12. For any of the other ones do 5. For the sorority, is it planted? You will need a lot of hiding spots. I had 7 females in my sorority, it was a biotope tank. So I would say do 5-7 females. More females + a lot of hiding spots = less aggression Posted via Mobile Device
You could keep 3-5 cories in with the Betta , but the temperament of the Betta is very important. Keep a close eye.
I'd say keep 4 girls in a 10g sorority. Not every girl will be able to establish their own territory in a 10g if you have 5 or more, but if you have less than 4, they'll pick on eachother too much.
Okay thanks, I wasn't sure if they would pick on each other if there were only 4
