4 Panda corys and a betta in a 35ltr? Suitable?

by **Mutsu** on Tue Aug 17, 2010 10:50 am

Would these two go together ok in the space available? I may have a possible new purchase coming up :D

Also, what's the best way to keep filter media alive during transport? The seller has one panda cory, could I put it in a bag of tank water with the filter for the journey? (approx. 40 mins) I thought I could buy it 3 friends and then get my betta.

Tanks to small for pandas imo. Pandas are to active for a 35l i wouldnt put them in anything under 45l/10ukg. 6pygmy corys should work though. The media should be fine in a bag of tank water for 40 mins.

Ahh ok ty

JW because I'm new to fishkeeping and she has loads of fish in that tank :/ How about neon tetras? I love their colours Smile

Yh you might get away with 5 neons. In a 35l with a betta you could have pygmy corys, galaxy rasbora, ember tetra, cherry shrimp, ADF, snails. you couldnt have them all but any of them will work.

Oooh galaxy rasboras are pretty :D are they nicely low maintenance? How many would you say is a good number?

They only get to 1" long and dont make much waste. I think 6 galaxy rasbora plus some cherry shrimp should work. Make sure you have a back up plan because not all bettas do well with other fish. If you can find galaxy rasbora they are quite expensive there between £3-5 in my LFSs

Blimey that's a lot for a little fish! Depending on which tank I get I might just stick with a lone betta for now. Do the cherry shrimp make a positive impact on the cleanliness of the tank?

They will eat any scraps that fall to the bottom. It may look like quite a bit but cherrys and galaxy rasbora get to under 1" and make very little waste.
