    Oh ok thank you I had a 10 gallon and I was going to look for some annual killifish but I can’t find any cool ones so I will prolly do that if I put the wild bettas in the 10 gallon how many can I put in one male or a pair 

    Just a pair would be fine. You can add some floating plants to the top to give it some shade, too. I've found they color up best with lower light, so adding leaves and wood that release tannins along with the shade of floating plants make them look really nice. They're a fun little tank to have. You may even get fry out of them

    This is going to sound stupid but do you think I could add wild bettas like Imbellis I’m with my angels 

    No, it's a valid question not stupid lol. I wouldnt do it. Most wild bettas are best in species only tank. Though more common, betta imbellis typically arent as peaceful as the internet says and may nip fins. They also wont do well in a tank that large competing with other fish. They show off nicely in a planted 10 gallon with tannins, though. 

  3. One of my favorites are rams. There are many varieties, including gold, german blue, electric blue, and black rams; all have longfin varieties, too. And all are fine in ~10 gallons. There are very easy to breed and the fry are fairly easy to raise as well. They only take about 3 to 4 months until they're ready to be taken to new homes. Keep them warm. Feed them live baby brine. Master breeder Dean has good video on them. 20200627_195134.jpg.a91a869614ef1241f81d77c90d7cac9b.jpgthese are my dark knight rams. 3 have the pitch black, the one up front isnt as hood quality.

    Another easy fish would be the white cloud minnow. You can keep them in room temperature and they look amazing. The males will spar and show off to each other. I give them fruit flies to encourage breeding. They scatter their eggs and I see new little fry all the time. They're easy to raise too. I feed infusoria, live baby brine, and crushed Sera staple pellets. Here are some of mine. Sorry for pic they're fast.

  4. Good looking tank! I agree with Bill about emperor tetras, but serpae tetras, lemon tetras, or costae tetras would also look amazing. Costae tetras may be harder to get a hold of, but they're definitely worth it. They have a blue sheen to them. You could maybe do a pair of apistogramma borelli or nannacara anomala as centerpiece fish, too. Hope yall like it

    Thank you so much I was thinking a rock grotto with dense plants mixed and does  anyone know  any apistograma species that would get along with Rams and my tank is gong to be 48x24x18

    Maybe you could try apistogramma cacatuoides? They are generally hardier compared to other species. Those dimensions are a good space for them. 

  6. Sweet! What dimensions is your 90 gallon going to be? You may have an issue mixing rams and apistos. Depending on the species, some apistogramma don't do well in the same temperature as rams. Rams generally like to be kept warmer. I run mine at 82-83° F. On top of that, rams may be a bit more aggressive. Make sure there is plenty of area for both species to claim and have plenty of breaks in their line of sight. What do yall think?
