Hi everyone. I’m new here and wanting to learn more. I received a white elephant betta for Christmas 🙄. The only other time that I had a tank, was over 12 years ago.

So in two days I got a 29 gallon tank, sand, heater, light, plants etc and set up a new home for Walter. After 4 weeks of fish in cycling my tank was cycled and I added an amano shrimp and four neon tetras. Walter has been doing well and is very sociable ( now I get why so many people have bettas) but he started relentlessly chasing the neons, so I moved him to an emergency 10 gallon I had also set up and cycled.

Question, I am adding more tetras today because the remaining three seem stressed in such a small group. How soon after can I add Corydoras? I’m thinking peppered cories.

Any and all suggestions appreciated!

Welcome to the forum :hi:

Bettas are personable little things :lol: thankfully mine have always tolerated tank mates.

I cant verify but I’ve read a 2+ week period in an established tank should be sufficient for the tank to balance out the bio load before increasing it
