Fresh_Water_Fish_Eeez

20 days till Orlando Aquashella! This will be my first fish convention. I anticipate there will be a variety of freshwater fish for sale at the convention. If I come across something I cannot live without, how would you suggest transporting them home on a plane with me?

I think it depends on the general disposition of your beta. I keep 7 neon tetra with my beta. When I first introduced the neon tetra, I set aside a few hours where I could be right by the tank observing his reaction and ready to rescue the tetra if needed. At first, my beta followed them around the tank, he was curious about them. After a little time, the beta and the neons kind of went their separate ways in the tank. Now they seem to occupy different levels of the tank primarily. I feed the beta first at feeding time, and that gets the neons all excited to eat, therefore less of their slow sinking pellets go to the bottom of the tank. Good luck with your fish keeping adventures!

Good! It's almost like a welcome home gift for the new additions then. Thanks for the replies.

I'm not sure if I am looking at a bunch of happy detritus worms, or something more sinister... This tank is shrimp, snails and plants only. Planning on adding 4 Endlers that are being shipped this week.
