Okay, so i want to get my Betta out of his 1 Gallon tank, and move him into my new 30, There is a good current in the tank is this okay?, also what can i place with him? I once had a betta that was with Pallaetys and they nipped him to death.
 
okay so i shoudl ahve a betta and snals? i dont want to use a devider... i ahve heard of epopel useing a betta in a community tank, any help would be great. what fish can i put with him, and is current okay?
 
Calm small fish. Avoid guppys and zebra danios. (no nippers)

Rasboras, rummy nose tetra, cardinal tetra, neon tetra, white clouds,
shrimp, snails. Corydora, small plecos like peckolita variety, ottocinclus,
work well.
 
Small, peaceful tetras are a great choice. I keep a group of corydoras with my betta with no problem.
 
Okay so for my 30 gallon then what about this.....

1 Pelco (Already In Tank)
1 Betta (In MY 1 Gallon but, move over)

Add These fish

6-10 Neon Tetra
2-3 Black/Blue Tetra

corydoras is a good idea, but i cantfind any colorful ones.

What about a Discus ?
 
way to small of a tank for discus. plus discus need near perfect water conditions. you would need at the very least a 55 gal to house a discus
 
I wouldnt go with the black tetra, I have had them in with angel fish and they were fin nippers. Thats just me though, if you want black go with phantom tetras, they look cooler and are smaller
 
current is fine for bettas mine love wimming through the current that comes out of th filter and good cory's would be panda corys bandit corys skunk corys or albino corys there not colorful but then there not a bloby bltch of black brown and gray. and i would definatly say tetras are a good coice black neons are some of my favorits i love witching them i would go with reg neons since there so small that if your betta wanted to he could eat them hatchets would also work good
 
oaky thanks.... now aobut how much fish can i palce in this tank.

1 Pleco
1 Betta

and adding

6-8 Neon Teatra
2-3 Corys
Pair of Groumi (Are these a bad idea?)
1 Red TAil Shark (I have heard of these working)

I have heard of Red TAil getting along in a community tank any comments?
