    This is Daniel,
    I own a Betta Splendens, or Siamese Fighting fish. If anyone has some tips that would be great.
    If you have anything for me just let me know:)

    Hi Daniel,

    Welcome to the forum... glad you decided to go with the fish rather than the snake!!

    When my mom told me I told her I definitely would have preferred the Betta.
    I have a pet rat so getting a snake probably wouldn't have been such a good idea:/

    bad news:(Rex died, so i got a new one and 5 females.turns out when i thought it was the male was bullying everyone, it was actually the one female.gonna give up on Betta's and go with some other fish(thinking about 4 glass catfish, 1 or 2 clown loaches and maybe some cardinals. I will cycle my tank first but how long should I cycle it for? its a 47 litre tank.

    Hey Dan,

    We will cycle the tank for 2 weeks, and I don't suggest clown loaches cause the tank is too small for them... the glass catfish will be fine and the cardinals too :)

    +1 Aqua, the Clown Loaches grow big!!

    I found this on a website. 'They can easily reach 8 to 12 inches (20 - 30 cm).'
