Fish Fanatic
Hi guys,
I am hoping to get a second fish tank in the near future which will probably be somewhere from 30 to 45 litres although I can't be certain until I find exactly what I'm looking for. In the meantime however, I'm wondering about what to stock it with and am fairly sure that I'd like to have a male Betta, White Cloud Mountain Minnows (6?) and Pygmy Cories (6 - if I can find any). This is a total of 42cm/ 18" of fish.
While I'm fairly sure that these should do well together, I've read that White Cloud Mountain Minnows need to be kept in a school and since they'll only be in a small tank, it's quite important to me to know how many WCMM people think should be considered the minimum. I'm hoping that this minimum will be no higher than 6 or I'm going to be over-stocked even if the tank is towards the top end of what I'm thinking about getting and will have to re-think it.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ suggestions,
Dan
