	A good adf tank?
Fishguy101 Hobbyist Posts: 105 Kudos: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Jun-2004	Can I put an adf in a 5g uncovered tank with a betta (I heard they jump so I don't think it will work). Or will they be better in a 20g community?

But, Bettas are supposedly jumpers as well, so that might not be good either. Either get or make a cover for the 5 gallon tank, or put them into the community tank. ADFs usually do fine with any small fish.

I have had my betta for a long time and not once has he tried jumping out and hes in a vase, which is uncovered. But I have read some really sad stories of bettas jumping out, like some other kinds of fish. I would buy a lid for your 5g. tank. I think the one i got was like under 5$ i think. So they arent expensive. So, yes I would definatley get a cover for the tank just to be on the safe side. -kristin [span class="edited"][Edited by zebra 2004-07-21 18:11][/span] ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~

zebra Fish Master Posts: 1671 Kudos: 291 Votes: 37 Registered: 08-Oct-2001	Yeah it should be fun. But just watch and make sure there isnt any aggression going on.And yeah I think that 2 would be ok in the 5g. tank also. Good Luck -kristin ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~
