10 gallon companions

kbjunior8 · 10-19-2007, 08:40 PM

are there any fish i could add with a betta in a ten gallon that would ensure no one would get eaten or even bothered.

kbjunior8 · 10-20-2007, 10:20 AM

no harlequin rasboras are very popular you should be able to find them in any lfs.

kbjunior8 · 10-20-2007, 12:22 PM

are you sure there will be no problems because my betta seems a little aggressive

**Ichthius** · 10-20-2007, 01:03 PM

Bettas (betta splendens anyway) are aggressive toward their own species, similar species like gourami, and fish that look quite a bit like them. This isn't to say that your betta won't take a chance to check out the new fish, but if he doesn't view them as a threat, he's unlikely to bother them.

I've kept a betta splenden with harlequin rasboras in a 10 gallon tank with no problems before.

Other options would be something like a small group of cherry barbs, say 4.

Remember not to add anymore fish to your tank until it's cycled

i dont understand though whats cycling mean? And is it 100% neccessary

**Ichthius** · 10-20-2007, 01:19 PM

Yes, it's 100% necessary. I posted a link on your other thread explaining it.
