1.5" black moor in 10 gallon?

Silent - he's awesome! I can never keep black moors alive, I have no idea why, they always die suddenly while the other goldfish are fine, no idea. But your is so pretty, mine always had a lot of gold in him when they were only 2-3 inches long, they are pretty fish.
 
I've never tried this, but it was recommended to me once on this site (but it was awhile ago, so i'm sure there have been good and bad stories about people trying this since then) But with a ten gallon tank, you could possibly get 3 female bettas as long as you have plenty of places for them to hide and so no individual one really gets picked on. I was told that there will be one dominant one, but the other two will share the picking on, so it will be ok divided like that. I could be totally off my nut here or ten gallons could be too small for this idea.... but just a thought. Feel free anyone to set me straight :)
 
This is my nine year old moore, 22 cm body (9") 8 cm tail (3"), once upon a time he was a black moore anyway LOL, more like a gold and black telescope now.

I'd say take the goldies back and get something smaller such as a betta or endlers.
 
oh wow i didn't know they turned that much orange.
weird.
 
mine is even more orange than that at, hmmm, maybe 3 and a half years old?

1/2 inch of the top fin is still black, and the very tips of the pectoral fins have a bit of black. body is completely orange, turning a little white in the belly, and his tail is just incredible. about half orange and half black, but streaky, not a solid line of color. the tip of his tail is white that streaks down into the black, and the tri-color look of it is like nothing i've seen. i'll try to get a pic of it when my boyfriend comes home.
 
Emperor (the moore) is actually returning to black, I added some new lights to his tank, which have seriously changed his colour, I think its the red spectrum that gives them the black colour...

He's 9 years old too, you gotta expect some major colour change by then....

Could work, depends on the personalities. With 2 giant caves, 2 driftwood caves (1 is desired by all) and java moss, my 2 females fought over the good driftwood cave in a 75g. It ended up the first in won, and now the dominant one isn't submissive and isn't the leader. They don't seem to mind each other. If only it would last *sighs*.

IME, female bettas will go after guppies (likely the same with endlers, they're similar) if they don't get to know them (like through a bag). If you go with endlers, 4 endlers and a betta would be nice. Get the endlers first and leave the betta in the bag so both parties will know there's no new food.
