Hello There

[Dania]

I have a 10 gallon betta tank and a 20 gallon that will be set up soon. Grow up with a lot of animals mostly Siamese cats and goldfish. But We're in an apartment now so I went with my second favorite fish. Once the tanks are mature I will be adding my forth and fith favorite fish.

10 Tank
Helios the platnium delta tail
6 panda cory catfish

20 Tank
Crowntail Betta
12 pygmy Catfish
12 Kuhli loaches

Hi and welcome to the forum

 

[Dania]

Thank you

Welcome to TFF...first and foremost, read and understand this: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycling-your-new-fresh-water-tank-read-this-first.421488/

Secondly, keep in mind that bettas aren't an ideal community fish, and usually should be kept alone

The pet store I go to has all bettas in community tanks rather than in those tiny little cups.

Really?

I'd like to see that...

Yep. Mostly with catfish and snails.

Interesting....maybe they breed and raise them that way, as well

I don't know but that's where I got my Helios from.

Welcome!!! Sounds like some nice tanks! We would love photos!

Not quite sure, but I think I heard that Cories and loaches can outcompete eachother for food and it is best not to mix them in a tank?

I've read that the pygmy are more mid-level dwellers rather than bottom dwellers.
