28L Stocking

[pablothebetta]

I'm currently debating whether to rehome my pygmy cories (see thread in the corydoras section) and I'm wondering what could go in place of them if I did decide to rehome them. I know I'll be having a betta in there, but I'm wondering what else. My thought was a couple of male endlers (three?), but I wasn't sure if there were any other options out there. I don't want to get something and it not be right, you see - if those adorable little guys go, I want something nice to replace them

So, any ideas?

Thanks

28 litres equates to about 6 imperial gallons; call it a 5 gallon tank for the sake of displacement. A better and 3 cories would be good, still a bit of a push but it should still be manageable I wouldn't go for shrimp with a Betta, as I understand it, the Betta will attempt to eat them. I could be wrong but I'm sure I've heard something like that somewhere!

It's a bit hit and miss with shrimp. I do currently have around 9-10 young shrimp in there at the moment around 1.5-2cm long so I do hope my new betta, when I get one, doesn't think they're lunch (or does that create an excuse for another tank? ).

Why not just move the betta in with the pygmy cories? Bettas, in most cases, are nice gentle tank mates and the pygmy cories will certainly not cause any troubles.
