HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY FISH?

Okay so I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma. I unfortunately didn't plan ahead, so I currently have a male betta in a vase. Our LFS no longer carries the Mini Bow 2.5 I was going to get for him. (Does anyone have a website I could get it from for $20?)

Also I do believe my Kribensis have bred and I will see fry soon. I would like to grow them up and eventually sell them. So I was thinking of getting a 20 gallon fry tank. But would a 10 gallon tank work too?

I'm also trying to downsize, especially if I get a fry tank (seeing as I have 5 already) so any ideas how to downsize? I'll post my stocking, any and all ideas are very much appreciated! Thank you



50 gallon
1 pleco
1 albino rainbow shark
1 pearl gouramis
2 angelfish
2 lemon tetras
1 black skirt tetra
2 zebras
2 kribensis


29 gallon
2 kribensis
2 gold gouramis
10 neon tetras
3 cory catfish

10 gallon
1 male betta
3 hi fin platies
1 coolie loach

5 gallon
1 male betta

1.5 gallon vase
1 Male betta
 
Downsizing is really not an option for you, unless you are willing to rehome a few fish.

50 gallon:
-Depending on the variety of pleco the tank may be too small.
-Tetras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six.
-I am assuming you mean zebra danio in which case they are also schooling fish.

29 gallon:
-Because you have a breeding pair I would go for the twenty gallon. Fry require good water quality to thrive and grow properly and a larger volume of water will mean more room for waste dilution.

10 gallon:
-If I am not mistaken, I believe that the kuhli loach also does best in a group.

1.5 gallon betta vase:
-I got one of my betta set ups from Petsmart- The 2.5 gallon tank is 13.99 (although they have a sale currently 20% off all aquariums over ten gallons so the ten is cheaper for now) the heater was 13.99, and the filter was 15.99.
 
Well, a 10 gallon tank would be great for the fry! Or u can get a breeding net or also called fry net for them but if u want to breed the fry when there older u need to get one more tank for them. 10 gallon tanks would be fine for each sex of the fry. Hope that helps!
