So, a little rundown. I have a fifty five gallon tank, mixed community. Three angels, some german blue rams, rainbow cichlids, eel, gourami, a few schooling fish, -lots- of live plants.
I also had an empty ten gallon. My sister asked if she could use it, I said sure.
I came back from a week of being gone (She fed my fish) to find her tank completely unkept. Like, decaying shrimp, water line two inches lower than when i left, heater spazzing...awful.
The Betta, the 'showpiece' of her tank, t hiding under a plant. I coaz him into my hand ,bring him close to the tank. Frayed fins. He takes a hungry gulp of air at the surface, and resigns himself to staying in my hand.
So, here's the question. I know it's not ideal, but for the sake of the animal could i put him in the fifty five gallon, at least for a week, if not permanently? My angels are fairly complacent, but I'm afraid that the betta could pick a fight if he gets healthy.
Am i asking too much here?
Thanks for the advice,
Andrew
