Celcuis Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi all I was wondering if I could keep a betta in my 60Liter planted tank which has x3 serpae tetras which are peaceful and don't fin nip other fishes or themselves x4 neon tetras which sometimes fight themselves x2 Cory cats the flow is also 5 times the tank volume so 300Lph im asking u guys this because I've herd my current fish are fin nippers and that bettas don't like flow?

Caryl Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Another problem, apart from fin nipping and too much water flow, is the betta will be hard pressed to get enough food as the other fish will all beat him to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celcuis Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yea a betta probbly isn't the best choice how about a German ram? or do you know any other nice looking/ center piece fish That can be housed in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 A dwarf cichlid would be most appropriate I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 These fish are very difficult to keep alive much less successfully raise fry from. They require optimum tank conditions - hence the price. Celcuis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Have to agree. The golds are even worse---hence you don't see a lot of either and they are not cheap. Celcuis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celcuis Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Since rams are too expensive and too difficult to csre for i am going to buy/ expand on the exciting fish species so I have 2 peppered Cory cats, 4 serpae tetras and 7 neon tetras... Is that over stocked? but before buying fish (3) I need to buy 1.canister filter 2.aquascape and make it look like good AGA entry 3.get more fish... And also buy food/dechlorinator which adds to the cost... And I have an extremely tight budget (being a student) soooo buying fish is probbly gonna take awhile... Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
