Minimum Tank Sizes

[pablothebetta]

Thinking of upgrading my bettas tank and I'd love to have pygmys and microrasbora/endlers/ember tetras (etc) with him and I'm just wondering what tank sizes would be best for the setup ideas I have got below.

#1
1 male betta
6-8 pygmy cories
6-8 microrasbora/ember tetra/similar

#2
1 male betta
6-8 pygmy cories
4-5 or so male endlers

#3
1 Male Betta
8-10 pygmy cories
3-4 male endlers

Any other ideas are greatly appriciated. Many Thanks

all of these should be preferably a long tank rather than a cube to provide ground space for the corys. (btw this is just a guess)

1. 13 gallon
2.10 gallon
3.11 gallon

Looks like you and i are soon to have the same set up

Gonna be option #1 for me though. Having a hard time finding pygmy cories, prob gonna have to order online

all of those are around about 15 gallons

Thanks for the feedback

15 US gallons is around 56L isn't it? That's twice the volume of his current tank, which is fine, though I was hoping for something nearer 10 gallons to be fair. What would work in a 10 gallon tank?

 

[Fishy friend2]

maybe you could go down the route similar to stocking number three
8 pygmy cories
3 male endelrs
1 male betta

Sounds nice, hopefully I shall just be able to upgrade

I did consider the AquaStart 320T which is just under 10 US gallons, though the bottom area isn't very large for the cories as it's a tall tank rather than long. http/www.seapets.co.uk/products/aquarium-supplies/aquariums/aqua-one/aqua-one-aquastart-aquariums/aqua-one-aquarium-aquastart-320t-star-blue.html

What might I be looking at to keep with my betta in this tank?

Many Thanks
