Betta in community aquarium

[Captain Hook]

It's a rainbowfish. Can't remember the species right now but they stay small.

If they are over 3 inches I would be interested, otherwise my other fish may eat it..

hey Rezizter,whats the fish in your avatar picture?It looks really cool.

Spotted Blue-Eye. A Pseudomugil gertrudei Rainbowfish. Very beautiful.

Actually, that's not quite true as many here will attest.

Many of us have bettas in regular filtered tanks (not overfiltered VROOM!, mind you) and our fish swim all over the place. Mine even likes to play in the outflow.

Yeah, I should note that I always use well-circulated tanks with lots of current.

Pseudomugil gertrudae or Spotted Blue-Eye, they're not called by their common names very often, so if you do a web search on them use the latin. They are of the Pseudomugilinae sub-family of rainbows (Blue Eye Rainbows) and are found in Northern Australia, Queensland, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

They grow to about 1 3/4" and need to be in schools.

Pseudomugil connieae are also gorgeous and grow to around 2".

Blargh, all the Pseudomugil are beautiful and on my wishlist. Here's a link:
