freeblaze Enthusiast Posts: 279 Kudos: 421 Votes: 40 Registered: 27-Feb-2004	In my 55g I currently have: 7 Salt and Pepper Cory's 1 German Ram 2 Rubber Lip (plec) 1 Golden Gourami 1 Beta 3 Yo Yo Loaches. I would like to add either 1 nice sized school or 2 smaller sized schools that will hang out together. I am leaning toward lemon's. My last decent school was glow lite tetras. I loved them but want something different. Thanks FreeBlaze

They'll nip at your betta a little as my lemons did, but they'll leave it alone for the most part. You could add just six lemons and go with another loach or two. They'd certainly appreciate the extra company. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I would also add 1 more cory and 1 more loach, I find mine are happier in even numbers Just keep an eye on your betta, you don't want a fight to start with anyone and everyone ganging up on him, and him trying to defend hisself...best of luck, heidi michelle "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
