You don't defeat anything if you have healthy, happy fish.
No matter how slow or how fast you do it, regardless of the the way(s) you do it, that's the goal.
One thing is for sure that all can tell in this thread...you definitely have the health of your fish kept in mind in your decision-making processes.
Whatever route you choose, enjoy those fish, whether it is a few or a lot. You'd be surprised just how much you'll really enjoy the tank once you get something in there, even just a couple fish.
I had one betta (a rescue from a 3-qt vase at work) in my 100-gallon tank for a while, and he sure added a lot of color until he got his tankmates (the guppy fry, which although tiny, were swift enough to avoid Mr. Betta by the time they made their appearance). The betta simply viewed them as his new "goofy roommates." Each time you add a fish, there's a new dynamic relationship established between tankmates, and it is interesting to watch, to say the least! :thm:
By the way, that is one handsome tank setup.
