Betta + SAE + Bristlenose Pleco? Peace?

[aquaman66]

I'm planning to stock Betta, Siamese Algae Eater and Bristlenose Pleco, one each in a 10 gallon tank.

Will it be ok, or will it end up a warzone? LOL

Let me know, thanks =)

Hi, unfortunately the SAE needs a much larger tank...

the BN will get to about 5-6" and is suited for something more like 20 gallons

hmm... stocking a ten with a betta...
I'm planning on around 10 C. habrosus sometime soon with our new betta boy =)

I see.... thanks for the info! I might just go for Betta alone

Betta with a school of neons?

 

[serissime]

that's definitely an option! imo

Betta with a school of neons?

maybe.... some people do just fine with that mix, others (including myself) ended up with a few fat neons and a betta missing half its fins overnight.

it really depends on the betta. some can be pretty aggressive while others are more peaceful.

i had those three in a 20 gallon long with no problem until i put the cherry shrimp from h3d in the tank. the betta ate at least 5 of them. so i hade to put it up

:iagree:

It really depends. Always have a back up plan in case things turn for the worst.
