Ok folks I've just about decided what I want to do for my new set up(s)

I found a stand that I can live with and it has 4 shelves, each can hold 250 lbs.

So I am going to go get 2-20gallon tanks, and probably 1- ten gallon

1-20 gallon will have the guppies I am getting from Shannon/Jamie/Gary.

1-20 gallon will have 6-8 spotted corries, and bad boy

10 gallon I think I want either some Neon Tetras or Black Tetras (the ones with a black and gold line that seem to glow)

What do ya'll think? Les and I both think the spotted cory/beta tank would be cool...

Let me know...I'd be setting one up a week, I guess so to make sure the stand would hold....

i had 6 cories with one of my bettas, the betta killed 3 and 2 died from stress.... 1 lived so i put it in my 20 gal i dont think the betta/cory thing will work too well...

when you mean beta.... do you mean the betta/simease fighting fish? LOL just asking!

:%)

yes, betta/siamese fighting fish...

Bad Boy might kill the corries? Dang it....]:|

ok then he can go in the 10 gallon]:|by himself with some mts, and i'll put some neons in with the corries...how is that?

I think the betta's and cories would be alright. I've had a male betta in a 20gal. with 6 cories and never had a problem. Male betta's could get aggresive with fish that are colorful or have big fins like a male guppy.

Betta's are usually peaceful fish when kept in a community tank. In fact they are more often a target in getting picked on by fin nippers.
