Keeping corydoras with a pair of channoides betta

[tanguanh]

Is it advisable to comm corydoras with a pair of channoides betta? Thanks.

[Shi Xuan]

Yes but if you want to breed the channoides, not really unless you have a large tank with excessive plantings. The scooting cories will spook the otherwise peaceful channoides especially when the male is mouthbrooding.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice.

May I know if it is advisable to kept the "normal" Betta (splendens, a HMPK to be specific) with small community fishes such as dwarf corydoras, clown killie fishes & pearl danios?

[Shi Xuan]

Yes. The fishes are generally peaceful tankmates.

HMPK should be fine with the Corydoras and Danios, but not with the Clown Killies. However, each betta's temperament will differ. If you have a particularly aggressive HMPK, it will go after everything in the tank.

Understood; well, I ain't going take any chances. I'm going to house mine in a large satellite tank (the 26cm-long, 2-litre capacity one from Sudo starpetz) that will be connected to my main tank. In this case, everybody's safe; everybody's happy.
