Hi all. I've been posing on this problem a while now, and can't find a good answer so I decided to ask the "in the tank" experts!
I have a 10g, planted, with a school of 6 head/tail light tetras and 1 mystery snail. (Whisper filter, stealth wand submersible heater, 4" airstone., full hood with only one bulb in.)
Would a betta be a good addition or will they all nip and battle it out? (I had alot of success with bettas and only moved up when the last one died of old age).
I desperately have to have calm when I get home from the battlefield at school!! The tetras are very happy, but I'd like a larger something to gracefully wind around in there with them. Please help! Thanks! :help:
