~ Hey ~ can i put a betta in my ten gallon tank with my platies and mollies?

Thanks!
sandy
I wouldnt as you are overstocked as it is.

okay! thanks! I am selling some of the babies becuase i am trying to adopt some fish from some people! Which the cost of the ship that i am selling will pay for the shipping of the fish i am trying to adopt from people and i am trying to get a test kit!

Thanks!

Your mollies and platies will keep having babies unless you separate the sexes or go with one sex...so you will probably find yourself overstocked again soon. Many bettas will become aggressive toward other fish and can become targets for nippers because of their long fins. Did I recall one of your platies has been bullying others?

i agree with everyone, its probably not a good idea.

yes one of my platies is bullying the other fish and this is why you guys are here, so you gyuys can tell me what to do and what not to do!

No offense, but if your tank is overstocked, why are you trying to get rid of fish and then adopt new ones from people? You're going to end up poisoning your fish because they're only in a ten gallon tank.

becuase i just hate to see fish wait for a home and i was at one time having someone who was interested in the fish so that is why!

i hate to see fish in an overcrowded home.

if you get another 10 for your birthday, why not use that to seperate the males and females you've got now?

i might but i am giving away and selling some of the baby fish that i have now so i will not be so over crowded!
