Hi everyone,
My 9yr old son has hinted *desperately* that he wants a bigger tank. He currently has a crowntail Betta for about 2mos and wants to get at least a 10gal. I said fine..in a few months if grades and all that are fine..Thing is he already has ideas of what he wants it it. And from asking at the stores I am getting conflicting responses. Can you help? I want to know if the size & fish are all compatible and check out.
10 gal tank...whole set up fro $40 from Petco...
but I may go and get him this filter:
Power Filter: Bio System Power Filter & Surface Skimmer from Drs. Foster and Smith
He wants to add his Betta to the tank along with
1 cory cat (no specific type)
A small school of Black Tetras ( i think only 6)
and lots of plants, because he read bettas like plants.
I think he should leave his Betta in his 2gal tank & the rest seems okay.
Does his idea seem fine to eveyone else?
I don't want him to get dissapointed or have to get
fish he doesn't want.
I thank you in advance for your help
