Cardinal Tetras, Betta Splendens & Albino Cory Catfish Compatabili

[Humanist]

I am currently cycling 130L aquarium, intending to house about 15 to 20 Cardinals, 3 or 4 Albino Corys and a pair of male & female Siamese fighters (Corys first). Does this sound like a reasonably peaceful community to start with?

Sounds great but get 8 of the corys instead of 4

8 sounds quite a lot for a tank just 2ft wide?

As long as you stay away from large cory species (Brochis.sp ...) then 8 corys are fine in your tank

In a 2ft tank, I would go for 8 dwarf or pygmy Corys.

A male and female Betta will normally kill each other, so pick only one or the other.

Will a male be contented and thrive without a female?

Yes.
