10g plan

[nomadofthehills]

Hi, I was planning to redo my feeder tank (for my water snake) into a real tank.

10g.

I have a screen top, upon which I will have 2 15w floresant lights, creating 3wpg. I will have gravel on the bottom, and heavily plant the tank. I already have a 10g sponge filter in there, so I won't need to cycle.

I would like to add 10 white clouds, and a betta.


Will this work?

thanks

oh yea, i forgot. I know bettas like warm water, and white clouds are coldwater. I will get a 10g heater, but will this upset the white clouds?

I think your stocking level is fine, but I wouldn't go any more than that.

I have White Clouds in a community tank and they appear quite healthy and happy although the tank ran close to 79F in the summer. I think you can find a happy medium. I don't expect to breed them, though.

I can't address other issues of compatibility much, although I wonder if a Betta, which I understand likes still water and calm, is going to live contentedly in close proximity to the active, moving-water White Clouds.
