I have one betta who is oblivious to everything, he just swims around in his plants, eats, and hangs out in his hide. But another hates snails, is okay with shrimp, and follows me when I pass by. They are very interesting fish. I prefer to cycle first, and then add fish because it ensures that...

• "A common old wives tale is that fish grow to the size of the aquarium. Actually they will continue to grow as long as they have a quality environment. To find out, a group of researchers kept several trout in 3-inch diameter tubes. Clean water was constantly circulated through the tubes. The...

It would make a very nice betta tank, and you could have shrimp in there as well. What are the dimensions? -I would stick with the above suggestion. Hex tanks don't have much surface area.
