I have my bettas in 3 gallon tanks, but I recently got a great used 10 gallon tank with a heater for $20 which I am going to move one betta into, along with maybe some small tetras and cleaner fish. I haven't started anything yet as I still haven't bought the filter. In my big 55 gallon I have 6 cory cats to clean the sand. I like sand substrate, and I also feed the cories their own food. But in this new tank I thought I might branch out a bit and try a new species of fish. What cleaner type fish would you recommend to use in this 10 gallon with a betta, and any tips on that fish specie's care?
I hate plecos and snails also, so please not those.
Gary C, I already knew that and I clean my small tanks every week. All my fish are well cared-for, I don't need a lecture on basic fish care. I don't necessarily want the cleaner fish to do the algae cleaning for me, cories don't eat algae well anyway. I just want a low level fish to do a little scavenging work that the betta won't bother. I don't have experience with anything besides cories and I want some other choices.
