more fish or not ?

I have a 20g long with 2 bolivian rams and 4 albino bronze cories.. I was thinking about 5 or 6 glowlite tetras and maybe a betta can I and should I??

i think a few tetras will be fine, but i wouldnt really throw the betta in there... with the bolivians that will be 3 med sized fish in your bio-load.... and i think glowlites get to be about 2.5" too.

Id say yes to the tetras and no to the betta 8) (but i dont really like bettas anyway lol)

Yup, but I wouldn't add the betta as the rams may or may not attack it's fins. I'd get 10 Glowlights, myself.

glowlight only get to about 1.5" so you'll be fine with a good school of them

glowlights, and perhaps some marbled hatchets for the top to keep it interseting up there. I would pass up on the betta as well

hatchets like to jump though - i would pass on those unless your tank is extremely well covered. when the cories come up for air the hatchets will most likely scatter and freak out. every time.

very true, and i dont think that you really need any more than is in there, rams can produce a good amount of waste if they are full grown.


EDIT: when i say anymore than is in there, i mean with adding tetras.

add a school of tetras and thats it.

thanks everyone , I'll go with the tetras .. the betta was only a thought since my daughter likes them...

Maybe a 2.5-5g setup for the future aquarist? *jk* The nice thing about bettas is they do great going it alone, and do ok in smaller environments. And they still have unbelievable color and personality - it's no wonder your daughter likes them!
