 | 10g tank - is it enough? |
niko001  Hobbyist Posts: 71 Kudos: 54 Votes: 8 Registered: 02-Mar-2005   | I have a 40+ betta fry who are 5 weeks old. They are being kept in a 10g tank. I am not sure whether it is enough for them or should I move to a larger tank? |

| niko001 Hobbyist Posts: 71 Kudos: 54 Votes: 8 Registered: 02-Mar-2005 | What If I divide the batch i.e. I select the largest from the smallest and place them in another tank, would that be ok? |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | i would divide by 10s then, but when they get larger you will need to get a larger tank, so a 55 is better long term. bettter than having 7 10 gallons around. |
