This is what I have that I need to restock:

29 gal: 1 male betta that's like, gay, 3 female bettas, 1 black skirt tetra, 1 red eye tetra. Definately could have more fish.
10 gal: Nothing :( I can't have much in there. It's a long story why, but I can't have much.... :(
1 gal: Not exactly a bowl, but not exactly a tank either. I keep old bettas that don't need much space in here but my old male just died. He was three :( Poor ole' guy. I have kept young bettas in their with a lot of water changes. In this one I want to keep a betta.
1 gal: This one IS a bowl. I was thinking shrimp. And a lot of water changes. Lol. Any suggestions?

I'm on a tight budget. I am only going to spend about 50$. I was thinkin:

10 gal: $20.00 (I don't even have plants in it.)
1 gal: $9.00
Other 1 gal: 5$
29 gal: 16$ I don't need plants.

Oh, also, I CANNOT under ANY circumstances keep livebearers or danios. They just DIE so easily for me even if I be so careful.

Thankyaseses! :D :D :D
 
move your male from your 29 to one of your othet 1 gallon containers keeping the other for isolation/hospital container.
get about 3-4 more female bettas aand put them all in your 10 gallon(after you get afew plants and caves in there)
in the 29 you could get a bn plec, some sort of rainbowfish or gourami(possibly both im not sure on that though), and 3-4 more black skirts and red eyes. you could also ditch the rainbow or gourami and get a small shoal of 5-6 black neon tetras, or other schooling fish.
by the way female and male bettas should never be kept together unless for breeding only.
 
hes going cheap so yeah
gotta consider that.
id move hte male to a 1 gal, the females to a 10 gal, get 1-2 more females(shoudl cost 5$) , for the other 1 gal get about 3 shrimp(around $1)
for the 29 gal, get a shoal of glowlight tetras(hardier then neons and rouchgly cheaper, $1.50 at petsmart Canadian), um a centre peice of a gourami , and some bottom feeders, if u want plants try some otos
 
sorry around me that stock list is fairly cheep considering female bettas are about $2, my bn plec was only $3, 3 black neons for me was $4, trios of the black skirts and red eyes are about the same as the black neons, and a rainbow or gourami depending on what kind and size you get is a max of $5. besides its not like all of the fish will/should be purchased on the same day at the same time.
 
definatley do as jess said with the bettas, then bump up your black skirt & red eye to 5 each then maybe have a shoal of 4/5 cories :good:
