10G What should i do????

[Primetime]

Well no i dont consider it a big amount of space, but my bettas seem to, they become very unsure, and hide in the corner.

Well, the corner is the amount of space they have in the bowl, atleast if you put them in a divided 10 gallon, they have the option to move around

ten neons........or 6 neons and a male apistogramma. :Angel:

I’ve read that betas kept in small bowls can suffer from muscle atrophy. When put in a tank that actually contains some current, they have trouble swimming until they can recondition their muscles. Makes sense to me.

Yeah, it is the same concept as a person who has been bed ridden for a long period of time, they often have to learn to walk all over again b/c their muscles no longer work.

Mmmmm I bet sushi made from bowl bettas would be sooo darn tender.......

a interesting choice for this tank would be a few blind cave tetras, they are very fascinating fish and are tough as nails.
