hey guys like you know i have a 25L tank, but its to small...i want to go a bit bigger, so now i want to buy a 60L or there about.

so now i thought that I can maby add the 25L water into the tank once its complete. is this wise?? and is it possible to add 3 of 5 beta females with my setup? i have 1beta male, 3 corrys, 6 neons and a pleco..

so if you guys can help here plz...oh yes and i want to make the 25L a sump. do i put the heater in the last compartment of the sump?

Hmmnn.... Going to the expense and hassle of having a standard 2foot tank drilled and plumbed for a sump is in my eyes a bit overkill.... Why not go for a slightly bigger tank - say 60 x 40 x 40 or 75 x 30 x 40high.... This will give you a marvellously sized tank to scape and play with to hearts content... and your 25l will make an excellent sized sump...

Also enough space to pull of what you plan (Keeping male Betta with sorority of females - warning! Make them full grown ones and plant the tank heavily to minimise aggression from the male....) - Personally though - this has never worked well for me in the long term....even in tanks a bit bigger than what I suggested...
