Changing my 2.5 and 10g into 2 separate 10g

[Denther]

Well my friend is moving and he wants to give me his fish and tank.

It currently has 3 Green Cory Cats and 3 guppies.

I currently only have room for 2 tanks.

How could I swap around my current stock (in sig) to accomadate 2 10 gallons?

I'm aware I can't keep my Betta with male guppies so that's out.

Any ideas?

I need help ASAP because he's moving soon.

Thanks!

Here are my ideas.

Tank 1

Betta
6 Tetras
3 Green Cory Cats

Tank2

3 Guppies
6 Peppered Cory


Which one should I put the snail in?

I think you should put the snail in the one without the Betta; you wouldn't want any surprise deaths.

Sounds like it would work.

Personally, I don't think it matters where you put the snail. I would be more concerned about the cory cats and the betta because of their activity but that might not be a problem either - depends on your betta. My bettas have worked fine with neons, platies, mollies and otos.

He seems pretty chill. Just kinda wanders around his 2.5.

I have my betta with guppies and tetras as well as a cory cat and 4 mystery snails... and he is fine. however my other betta will kill anything and everything he has to be alone. no real secure way of answering your question without risk of death. i would say your first idea would be the best choice.. but the snail i dont think it matters where he goes... IMHO

You might also want to consider giving the Betta a tank to himself with the 6 Peppered Cory. Usually neon tetras don't bother Bettas, but there's always a chance of them nipping at his fins. Doing the tetras, guppies, and the remaining 3 cories together would allow the Betta his own space, especially if that's what he's used to. Then you can put the snail in with the smaller fish
