Finally found some guppies so I have a question.
She has a Betta. Some books say that for Bettas, which is why Bettas are treated soo cruelly. I ran into that when I first started keeping Bettas. It refers to Bettas as being for decoration only and states that they can live in flower vases. Horrible care sheets for Bettas are out there.
I do have a male Betta in a 3 gallon biocube, and have the filtration set to low. He loves it and is doing very well in that small space, but he has filtration, and a heater. I used to keep females, who lived for over 2 years. I had 5 females in a 10 gallon and then moved them into a community tank (30 gallon) with barbs, and a clown loach, and raspboros (sp?).
Lisa for you questions on guppies. They require a heater, filtration, and I would not put them in anything less than a 10 gallon. I love the fancy tail guppies. I am probably wrong in telling you this, but if you stick to the guppies, you can put 10 of them in a 10 gallon without any troubles. Make sure you get males only…..otherwise you will have 50 in no time. Same with Platy’s, one sex or the other. Also I am not sure but I have heard that he Platy will breed with the Guppy. If someone else knows this they can let the rest of us know?
