Since my 30L looks a little bare with only Chai and my endlers in it, I was wondering whether anyone had ever kept their betta with any micro rasboras?
I've found a seller who can do me a shoal of 8 for the tank (I figured that if I lost any, then I'd still have a suitable shoal size), but I was just hoping that someone could give me more insight to how they react to bettas, and vice versa. :D
Thank you!
 
Boraras Brigattae, as you suggested :lol:

The seller's site says they can get to 3.5cm long? Is this correct? That seems a little large..
 
3.5cm is incorrect, 18mm is most common.

Okay. The seller is selling them at 1.5cm. Do you think they'd grow in my 30L?
Ahaa, sorry for all the questions, I just really don't want to end up with some fish too large for my tank :blush:
 
They'll probably grow a bit more, they'll get no bigger than 2cm, 1.5cm will be an estimate and wont reflect all of the fish, there is bound to be variation between individuals, even at full size.

Okay, good :D
My betta is pretty docile, but he definitely asserted his authority when he was put in with the endlers, so hopefully he'll do the same with the rasboras: be in charge but still be calm. :lol:
