 | Platy and Betta in 15 gallon? |
labrakitty   Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004   | Would around 10 platys (all male), 1 peppermint bristle nose and 1 male crowntail betta be ok in a 15 gallon or would i need a 20 gallon? The peppermint is tiny. 2cm. |

| labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004 | Sorry, no choice, I already have them as they are the offspring from my others. It is 9 male platys. They are only 2cm at the moment though, and the peppermint bristle nose is also very small only 2cm. My real question though was that a male betta would be ok with male of female platys?  |
