Re: choosing suitable tank mates for a small aquarium


I'm curious, are there any other fish besides cories that can coexist with a betta in a medium-planted 10g tank? I've read mixed reviews about housing multiple fish with bettas in smaller tanks, so I'm being cautious. What's your experience with this?

I've been reading online and there's a lot of info about how temperature and pH levels might influence the sex of baby fish.

I'm planning to breed my two betta fish - the male is a gorgeous long-finned pink and purple, while the female is mainly white with red accents on her fins. I'll take some ...
