LeroyRiding Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 a single betta. . . . just throwing it out there. . . . . but seriously Betta's in tiny tanks make me angry. . . give them space to move and stuff people. ive had one in a 6ft tank and guess what? It swan around the tank all the time top to bottom and it was the happiest betta I had ever seen! so yeah my vote is for a nice Betta, some corry's maybe some L's? and threadfins (not sure if they will pick on your betta but mine never picked on the Betta I had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefootexplorer Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Lucky you! Looks good! I can't quite tell from the pics, is that a sump underneath? Personally I would fill it with Tangs but L's would be pretty cool too! I'm a bit partial to the L066's myself but the cost of the ruddy things always pulls me up! 3-4cm for $30-$50 or 8-10cm for $150 seems to be the going rate depending on who's got what L333's , 202's,002's, 397's around $40 L377's around $50 L134's around $80 and so on. Mind you these are Sydney prices I am quoting here, not QLD There's a huge number of L's around these days compared to times gone by, the trouble is finding the dedicated hobbyists that actually breed them! Were very lucky on here to have a few experienced and reputable hobbyists who do just that! That is where I would be sourcing my L's from anyway! Good luck!
