Hey Gerwin do you have any male betta's? I have my tester fish back in my ten gallon tank and if he lives for 72 hours then i was going to take and put a male betta in there with 10 neon's and i was wondering if you had any betta's. you are the only place i can neon's from exept petsmart :sick: walmart doesnt even know what a neon tetra is. if you do have them then i am going to have to make a trip to your store in a week or two to get them.

Ok thanks I will come get some neons from you and a corry cat after thinking about it for a while I apparently suck at keeping bettas alive so I have opted not to get one. But I would like an Angel fish instead. do you have any small ones that i could put in a ten gallon tank? I will come down there some time around the 13th of April. :-)
Just wanna see if the guppy lives that long and he does then its safe if he doesnt o well no love lost there he is a shrimp of a fish. full grown he is about the size of my pinkie finger nail. :crazy:

Every life should mean something even a guppy. Angelfish should be housed in nothing smaller than 30 gal if you want it to grow. They get to be 6" long and are a tall fish 8-12" depending on fin length. I suggest more neons or some rasboras for a 10 gal. Rule of thumb 1" of fish per gallon so 10 neons should put you right at that limit.
If you want bigger fish get a bigger tank.

I have housed angel fish in a ten gallon tank before it lived for 14 years in that tank with neons and sword tails. but it was small. Thats why i am looking for another small one. And the guppy is still alive so I think the water is safe for other fish.
