2 gallon snail tank

[fballguy]

It looks really boring right now. Is there anything(preferably fish) I can get to put in there to make it look better, and keep the filter cycled in case I need it? Or would I just be better off leaving it alone?

male endlers are great for small tanks.the females get about the size of a female guppy though.

yep, 2-3 endlers would do great, make sure they're males, though. or a betta.

I thought bettas eat snails...

 

[fishcatch22]

not under normal curcumstances. what type of snails?

 

[fballguy]

Pond and ramshorn snails. I forgot to mention this is my snail breeding tank for my f8 puffer.

a betta would eat the newborns, but leave the adults alone. but the endlers would probably eat the babies, too.

actually, my male betta attacks and kills adult snails. He doesn't eat them, just kills them because they're in his territory. But these are smaller snails (ramshorns that are about half and inch in diameter).

It's pretty hard to predict these things though with bettas. I had no idea they would do that until I saw mine do it before my eyes.

yeah... I said they don't EAT the adults.... sorry, my bettas so sweet, i automatically assume all bettas are as good natured. (P.S. he eating live food now.... you should see him tear an earthworm longer than himself to shreds! )I think your best bet may be least killies/dwarf live bearers, fball.

Why not add a very neat looking shrimp? Or is the tank too small?
