What Fish If Any?

[Liquid skills]

Well i have a 20l tank for betta (before all the questions everything is done i mean i hope so its been running for over 2 years )
And was woundering If i could fit a shoal of 8-10 neons in?? Will that be ok or should i put the neons in my larger o my smaller tanks ?
thanks for urs help

I'm afraid 20 liters is far to small for a shoal of neons, maybe you could have 2-3 make endlers instead, but if you really want shoaling fish, for you tank than I think a shoal of 5-6 boras brigittae should work

I think a 20 litre is too small for that number of neons

20L is only just over 5 US gallons, so IMHO, the only fish aside from the betta in there would be a couple of male endlers. I would say that the microrasbora were pushing it with the betta in there, though they would work if the betta wasn't there, but that's just my opinion. For the setup you suggested with the neons, I'd guess about 50-60 L would be needed

Nope thats totaly fine ill just add the to my bigger tank
Im trying to recreat their natural habitat after a video some one put up about neons in the wild minus a betta in the larger tank too lol


Thanks guys

Your welcome, so are you going to add any fish to the 20 liter, or just keep the Betta in there by himself

Well ill add shrimp but what do u suggest

Also will a 30l be bigg enough for for a shoal of neons and a betta i am getting a 30-35l tank at tge week end it is fully matured so cycling isnt a problem but is that big enough?

 

[Fishy friend2]

Would suggest some endlers and some shrimp for your 20 liter
And I'm not good with liters but if a 35 liter is ten gallons then I think that you can have 7-8 neons and a betta

Kul thanks as for my 20l it has a betta in already so shrimp and clams will be good

 

[Cazgar]

Neons are very active fish, so I think even 30 litres is too small for a shoal of them

 

[Fishy friend2]

I honesty would not out clams in an aquarium, unless you are having a species tank

 

[Liquid skills]

I have one at the moment but of caurse ya never see it a bit of a waste tbh

 

[Fishy friend2]

Yeah, I have to agree with not seeing them as often

Yeh i thought ooo clam that may be intresting but of caurse they dont come out or move around with a sand substrate the move every night with gravel but their suppose to have sand nm also the fact they breed and reliease over 2000 eggs when they hit 4 years old 8(
