Bettas (more commonly known as siamese fighting fish, and come in a variety of species), have lungs as well as gills as their natural habitat is the shallow paddy fields where rice grows (and similar places) Due to their long flowing tails are more suited to be kept in special betta show tanks. One of these on show full of little fighters would look stunnig - you just need to convince people the individual tanks are suitable for these fish. Good luck with whatever you choose - fish are cool!

I've had a Google around and the tank sizes suggested seem very small.
They do look like lovely fish though, I've found some caresheets too but as usual, they're all conflicting on food etc.

Male guppys are color full, and have long, fancy tails. But females are usually duller. Dont male and female guppys, sword tails or platys in a small tank, as you will soon be over ran with them. Theya re a nightmare.

Thanks for all the info already - I have decided on the first tank which I posted, It's on it's way.
I'm still unsure what to put in it.. Im going to get a heater though, so does anyone have any reccomendations on fish that are easily found in aquatic shops and are pretty to look at for a 2 year old..

Thanks in advance

How big is it exactly?

By the looks of it, it is only good for a male betta, shrimp, or african dwarf frogs.

danios need the tank to be at least 30" long.

Hi, the tank is 25 Ltr (55x44x28cm).
Could lots of little fish like tetras go in it or something?
Apologies for my thickness in advance.

You could have 10 bumblebee gobies in that tank, I'm pretty sure they would love it, the only problem is - they arnt very pretty. Still interesting, though.

Could get 3 male guppies! Stunning fish.

Or a male betta.

Hey them bumblebee gobies do look pretty, they are an option
I've gotta say that the male betta is a very firm favourite so far in terms of "prettyness".. Just depends if we can find one whe we go looking.
Would any other gobies be ok.. and ok to mix with different "Morphs" if that's the right word.. ie pink spot goby and bumblebee etc..

I'll need to find a heater, any special requirements or are they all pretty much the same, just differing for size of the tank?
