Is this stocking for my 75 and 55 gallon feaseable?

[J. H.]

Ah ok. And I was looking up tank mates for a f8 puffer..... would indian mudskippers be feaseable?

The New England Aquarium has what is probably a 300g paladarium with scats, monos, anebleps, killies, gambusia, f8s, mudskippers and others, so with a big enough tank it definitely could work, but you can't bring proof from such things . To be honest, I have no idea if it would work, but I do know that mudskippers need a tank set up specially for them, so that would make it rather tough. Why not look into anebleps and hogchokers or soles? Coolest brackish fish there is.

Hey. Do you think this is too much for a 75g?
(Instead of blind cave tetras, i meant Darter/Hummingbird Tetras......)

Sounds fine, as long as none of the bettas have those extra long and fluffy fins. Also, i think you are underestimating the full grown Boesmanni; badis and hummingbird tetras are really small. Maybe it would work, maybe not. Also, I think you would have to introduce all the bettas at once, as a scared newcomer would be mincemeat.

I currently have 3 males....... lol. I would introduce all 7 females at the same time. I'm getting rid of the otos too. Im aware that they are TINY! More worried about the bettas starting war with them instead of the boesemans eating them. The boesemas are fine with the betta. Just get to close for a look and get barked at from time to time..... but I guess a lot since there is 12...... thanks for ya input! My old male blue full moon? Has super long fin# and he's not bothered right now. What would you be worried about nipping them?

AqAdvisor is telling you that your stocking level is 124% (admittedly an algorithmic estimate). We are telling you that the betta fins will possibly get nipped and they may also be outcompeted for food by the rainbows, and not to mention the male bettas might kill each other. Finally, despite what we’ve told you, you still want to put badis in there, which are fish that are under an inch long, and are highly likely to be harassed if not eaten by the rainbowfish. But hey, you do YOU. Have fun and enjoy your fish! Post pics when you can.

A betta might trash a badis if they fought, but it will be a 75 with other bettas to keep them busy...

I 100% agree with this.

Would darter be big enough now to get trashed? I've decided to put the badis in my 20g. Would the harass my breeding colony of shrimp?

Another option would be my Clown Killis. Would the harass them?

I don't know if i said but I'm riding the otos. Got a lot of snails so I'm sure they will clear the algae off my anubias.

Would Rams be a better option? I keep my tank warm like high 70s low 80s for the bettas. Would the be more problematic for the bettas? My 3 males get along fine. Sorta a freak accident of how they got together. But what's done is done.
