1 red shark tail shark, 6 neon tetras, going to get 1 betta fish, with black

[xion s]

or burgany gravel 10 gall? any advise what to feed them and what requirements i need and if it is over stocked. i only have 8 fish in a 10 gall

[Kylie Anne]

10gallons is the bare minimum for a RTS. also, they are aggressive, this means they should really only be with fish of a similar size (around 6" full grown) whihc would call for a bigger tank. both tetras and bettas are poor tank mates. tetras may end up eaten and your betta will probably end up with no fins.

your tank would be perfect if you removed the RTS, I suggest taking him back or finding him a new home (maybe with you in a larger tank or with someone you know).

as for what to feed them:
betta - betta pellets
tetras - tropical flakes
RTS - tropical flakes, pellets, blood worms, just about anything...

*edit*
trying not to get mad here (not at you)...
people, PLEASE do your research before you answer. you're simply helping spread the myths that cause poor treatment of bettas. bettas are perfectly fine in community tanks, they usually only fight with other bettas. because of their long fins THEY are the ones in danger, not the other fish.

omg u shouldnt have 8 fish in a ten gallon wonce they grow ur gooing to need a bigger tank

[ColtsGal]

you already asked this question, and yes, everyone told you that you're overstocked.

I have 10 fish in a 29 gallon tank. you have to know their full grown size, not the size they are when you purchase them.

the color of the gravel depends on your own preference, not ours.

ya dont put betta fish with other fish they will eat them

[dragon_fire_mai]

I don't think you should put betta fish together with other fish like that. Those are fighting fish if I am not mistaken. As far as agressive fish goes, there will be use of plenty of space. You should get a larger tank. As for what to feed them, you can feed them the typical flakes... or pellets if there is any. Ask your local pet store if you need help, they will know what to do.
