Whiteseam fighter/Betta Albimarginata In A Community?

[Eoibio]

I like betta albimaginata and I would like to keep one.The only tanks I have are an empty 3 gal but no heaters fit in there and its too small for a fish of 5-8cm.Would a pair of betta albimarginata be ok in a tank with:

12 x Corydoras Cats (Trilineatus,Sterbai and albino)
7 x Zebra Danios
pair x Thomassi juwel ciclid
pair x Peacock gobies
1 x female betta splendens

The temp is at 25 degress.My fish are fed discus/Picky eater food,Frozen daphnia and frozen Blood Worm.

i would -the Jewel Cichlid
ive seen them DECIMATE some really tough fish....

If by peacock gobies, you mean peacock gudgeons, I wouldn't keep the albimarginata with them. They can be quite aggressive for their size. As I mentioned in your other thread, I wouldn't mix albimarginata and splendens, either. I 2nd what bottomfeeder mentioned about removing the jewel cichlids, as well. The other fish would be fine with the albimarginatas.

So no splendens and no cichlids?Hmm see my dad loves the cichlids so I think I will leave the albimarginata.Anybody got any suggestions what I could keep?

get Bolivian Rams and scrap the Jewel

Rams aren't very nice...I only like pot-bellied ones.. no one elso on the fourm likes deformed fish though so I think I will keep the juwels...

im serious dude...i saw one rip all the fins off a 6'' Blue Channel Catfish...it couldnt swim hard enough to combat the filter's current...

Oh they're nice...What is the average price for the albimarginata?I've herad they're around £10-30 for a pair..There is a very similar species to them forget its name...But it is also nice =]]
