Note: Betta [Male] may jump - lids are recommended. They can become stressful under presence of too many shoaling species. Try to keep under 1 shoal if the tank is small. Individual bettas may exhibit varying degrees of aggression and care should be taken that exceptionally aggressive/territorial fish be separated from a community before any damage may occur.

Recommended pH range: 7 - 8.

They seem happy.....the ghost shrimp that I had weren't. They lasted 4 days. Then the betta figured out he could have prawn cocktails.
