    Hey...

    So i fixed a 1.5 foot (30L) that had a crack in it... Now i'm wondering what to do in it...

    Options:
    • Give betta breeding a go in it...
    • Nice planted tank
    • Endlers maybe
    Any other ideas???
    Maybe small fish species that i could try and breed in it???
    PS: i will be cycling it up until this weekend, then i will through in the guppy fry i have in order to let them grow nicely, they will then be removed to do what ever i have planned...

    You got nothing to loose. Might even be a good learning school.If you breed in this tank where will you grow out the fry?@Vez where's your entry dude?

    Forgot to say I think Betta breeding will be cool but your ganna need lots of tank then, or jars, or something. Neon tetra school will look awesome with the planted tank too. A few cory's maybe? Fire neons ?

    Hope this helps.

    I really want to try Betta breeding... been thinking about it for quite a while now... But i'm really tempted to go with the planted tank idea...

    But if i look at the votes up to now planted tank is the way to go... So the Betta breeding dream will once again be set aside... :sad2:

    So... If i can ask then: How does this whole coco fiber peat work???

    You could always do the planted tank idea, and then add some other fish =)

    The problem is i don't know what fish to add then... :confused: I would like to add some rainbow fish and definitely some Hara jerdoni's (dwarf anchor catfish...) since all the other catfish will grow to big... :(

    I also worry that fish will grow to big ,but(from personal experience) I have seen LFS having an increased interest in LARGE fish. As I said personal experience.

    Not much you can get into a 30L tank.
    A Betta would be nice.
    Or are you able to get some of the mini Rosbaras?
