	10 gal Pics
smapty Hobbyist Posts: 99 Kudos: 64 Votes: 7 Registered: 07-Jul-2005	Edited by smapty So I have started up a 10 gal I had sitting around and put my lil Betta (Otto Van Bismark) in it. I am waiting to get some other fish (?) but I wanted to show a picture of it. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/k_dubv555/detail?.dir=e4c1&.dnm=4a28scd.jpg&.src=ph (cut and paste link...sorry )

smapty Hobbyist Posts: 99 Kudos: 64 Votes: 7 Registered: 07-Jul-2005	Well I am still working on it. A guy from my wifes work is getting rid of four tetras and a male guppy. So instead of him flushing them down the toilet I told him that I will take them. I am not sure what I will put where cause I am thinking I may put the guppy in my 20 gal. But I am not sure how my betta would take to the guppy? So maybe the tetras? Still working on it but in no hurry.

The neons do like to be in larger groups, but I'd start with the 4 and increase the school later. Going from 1 fish to a big number that fast can cause problems. Good luck ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

smapty Hobbyist Posts: 99 Kudos: 64 Votes: 7 Registered: 07-Jul-2005	Yeah I am still trying to balance out my 20gal and 10 gal. SEE: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/threads/19013.1.htm?0.6076027# So I may try to put the guppy (and three male guppy from my wife) in my 20 gal (not sure if I have enough room) and the four tetras in my 10. Whew Lots to try to plan but I am saving fish (and they are free ) SO I will keep ya all updated.

You could also add a few Ottos once the tank has settled down and it has some algae for them to eat. My Desktop tank has a Betta and Cardinal Tetras photos in link *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

smapty Hobbyist Posts: 99 Kudos: 64 Votes: 7 Registered: 07-Jul-2005	So here is my question. This weekend I was able to save: 2 Red Phantom Tetras 2 Glow-Light Tetras 4 Khulii Loaches These were in the WORST unkept tank I have ever seen. So I put them in this tank and they are happy and feeding (which the previous owner WASNT DOING ) But I am not sure if this will be to much? I clean my tanks once a week so dont think it will be to bad. I want to try to put 2 otto's and 2 more Glow-Lights but this may be pushing it. What do you all think?
