It's something I'm toying with. I prefer plakat bettas, those with short fins, but they are hard to come by. I do see one from time to time but you can guarantee that when my current betta dies I won't be able to find one for months.
So.....
Should I move all the shrimps from the 50 to the 26 litre tank, then move the trio of peacock gobies (gudgeons) from the 180 to the 50. The 50 does have the same footprint as my old 60 litre so it should be big enough for them. Or do I leave everything where it is and add ammonia to the 26 litre for maybe months till I can find a plakat.
Decisions, decisions.
I'm thinking about it all now as I've had my betta for 19 months and he is starting to show his age - resting on things more and more, tail getting a bit ragged etc. He still goes mad when he realises it's food time which is a good sign.
