ChrisD Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Ten gallon tank, moderately planted. I'd like to put a breeding pair* of scarlet badis in with an existing colony of about 30-40 cherry shrimp and some junk guppies. How about multiple male scarlet badis? Thoughts? Experiences? *If I can find any females. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn T Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I've wondered about scarlet badis, too. Not that I'm interested in females, but whether the males would work in a tank that already contains small shrimp. I've been finding myself increasingly loving my "nano" fish, and I'm thinking about doing another small setup. Maybe 5-10 g with scarlet badis and shrimp, with maybe something like Ember tetras. Also contemplating honey gouramis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expectorating_Aubergine Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 They will eat the baby shrimp. Also I agree with the comment about females. Anytime I've bought one that I thought was female..... SURPRISE! Actually a juvenile male. I gave up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
