I'm re-doing my tanks after I cracked my 5.5 gal betta tank in a water change, as I've decided that all my fish need an upgrade. I'm planing to get a 20 gallon as an upgrade for my 10 gallon community tank (neons and platies), which means the 10 will be my female betta's new home.
The question is, what should go in the 10g with Lauren (the betta)?
I'm considering three options:
For the bottom fish, I'd either want khuli loaches or dwarf cories. I'd probably get 4-6 of either, but I'd have to mail-order them because I only have big box stores nearby which rarely sell either species.
Shrimp are another option, but I'm on the fence. For one, I've never had any luck keeping shrimp, even amanos and cherries. I'm open to people who have advice either way, as I've heard of both success and horror stories with this mix.
Finally, the sorority. I like the idea of having a colorful community or bettas, and I can plant heavily to make sure that they all have their own space. Again, I'd love to hear your ideas.
