Moving Betta To Own Tank

[ara35]

i have a 15g with a betta, some cories, and some neons. needless to say that the betta is slightly aggressive. i want to move him to a seperate tank but i didnt know if they needed filtration or if i could just do water changes. how big does the tank have to be? and then any ideas on what other fish i can keep with 5 bronze cories and 5 neons?

The question to filter or not to filter is a bone of contention amoung many betta keepers.

I can only answer from my own point of view here...

I would say yes, buy a filter. It will keep the water nice and clean. I also (while I'm at it) think that betta should be put in a fully cycled tank. Once again, I have noticed some on this forum that disagree with both my comments and of course it's each to their own method in this case. I just happen to feel it is kinder on the fish to keep it ina filtered and fully cycled tank

I have 3 female betta in a 20L filtered tank and two male betta in seperate 15L tanks as well, one of them being a baby biorb

Hope that helps, but I expect you may have many different answers to your question. It will of course be up to you to decide what to do for the best

Unless where you keep your betta is consistantly at 75F or above, yes you'll need a heat. A great option is one of those 3 or 5 gallon kits that comes with the tank, filter, and light, all you need to provide is a heater (25watts) and decor.
