	Dwarf Gourami w/ a male Betta
Fish On The Brains Hobbyist Posts: 141 Kudos: 126 Votes: 65 Registered: 04-Jan-2005	I have a planted 10 gal. that's almost cycled and was wondering if I could place him in there with my male Betta? I'm also going to put in some small Cory's down the road. Thanks

Maybe a schooling fish would be the way to go. The cories should be fine, make sure to get a school of at least 6 so they are super happy.

No problem I bought a small school of 5 White Clouds for the 10 gal today, and they seem to be doing fine so far, other than the odd short pursuit by the male Betta. These WC's are pure eye candy! and from what I can see I have 2 females and 3 males... oh boy, time to put some Java Moss in there! . Bala Shark
