KadeFoster Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Hey all, I just got my 3 year old daughter a tank and i was after some advice on fishes to go into it. Currently has 1 resident Betta called Red (Guess his colour). Suggestions welcome for other community members. I was thinking a couple of Corys, Ottos or Kuhli Loaches +maybe some shrimp (Red would probably eat them). Maybe some fancy Guppies for mid tank or Endlers. Just after something colourful for her to look at when she is laying in bed. All suggestions welcome Below is her tank which i planted out a couple of days ago with excess plants i got from my 3fter. There is some water wisteria over the back behind the rock to. The tank is a: Aqua One AquaStart Pro 340 Tank Size: 35W x 36D x 44H cm Capacity: 40 litres Filter: 400l/hr Edited September 23, 2013 by KadeFoster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafe420 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 All depends on the temperament of your betta. I don't think shrimp would be wise and definitely don't get any guppies cos the betta will go for them at night and take chunks out of their pretty tails while they sleep. You will never see kuhli loaches with so many hiding spots but 2 corys would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidlinc Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm loving my small school of black widow tetras, common as they are. Not sure if their tails would fall prey to Red or not, some bettas are fine in community tanks and some are just jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KadeFoster Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I hope red is nice.... will see what the LFS has tomorrow... From what i remember they had: danos glowlight tetras couple of corys (hope they are still there) lots of barbs i think they have endlers not guppys (the tails are alot smaller than fancy guppys), Lemon tetras Dwarf Gouramis Cichlids Cannot remember the rest will go have another look tomorrow. Wouldn't mind the Corys any ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthom211 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think you would be good going with a few endless or guppies with short tails in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Some mini mollies lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafe420 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yea go endlers, they're smaller and faster (and better) haha. Small tetras would be good also but I'd stay away from barbs in such a Small tank. One dwarf gourami might be ok but your fighter and him might have arguments over territory. Good luck and don't over stock :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KadeFoster Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 OK what i got was 4 guppies with short tails, and 4 corys. Thats enough for that tank, as long as she is happy. Only male guppies to lol. Will check in the morning to see if there has been battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
