Hello, I currently have a 5 gallon fish tank with live sand and Iāve recently been given a 20 gallon fish tank with the artificially colored gravel. Iāve been very excited for this upgrade and canāt wait to decorate and add more fish. I currently have one female betta, and kuhli loach and a pleco. Iāve been doing a ton of research and each source has so many different answers. I have 2 questions. Should I keep the gravel in the 20 gallon tank because I know the loach prefers sand or would he be fine? I read that the gravel helps with water circulation and live plants to thrive. Second question. What are some other species that are compatible with a female betta fish? Iām unsure if I should add more females to start a sorority or not. Let me know some of your tips! Thanks!
