I think you would be just fine adding a few Clouds to your Betta tank! Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	You can't fit any schooling fish in a 3 gallon, even if they were alone, without the betta. I'd suggest you get snails or shrimp as companions instead. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

goldfisher Hobbyist Posts: 96 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Aug-2004	OK. i might consider getting some neon tetra to go with him. also how many minimum tetras can go in a 3 gallon with a betta ? Fish have to be limited as i have a small budget. [span class="edited"][Edited by goldfisher 2004-09-02 18:43][/span]

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Not really. Wcmm's are fish that prefer cooler temperatures, while bettas actually like temps in the high 70's to low 80's. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
