Tank suggestions?

Question

Heres the story:
Ok so i have 3 fish tanks (all second hands ones i got really cheap and now that i am 16 i am getting a week end job, So my intention was to buy one big tak like a RIO 180 :http://www.juwel-aquarium.de/en/rio.htm?cat=5&mat=4550 , Ok so i currently have
:20 Gallon (3ft x1ft x 2ft) with these fish:
5 platies
3 mollies,
1 male beta
1 pleco ( This is soon to be rehomed as i didnt know the size of tank it needed,)
2 cory cats
1algae eater,

10 GALLON TANK:
9 guppies + and a few fry
2 Apple snails

10 GALLON TANK:

5 Female betta
4 swordtail.

Ok so do you think it would be ok to bring all the fish toether into the one tank, Rio 180? I think this meens 180 litres but i dont know how many gallons this is, Would there be aough room and would all my fish get along in the same tank?

I have a tank divider (for a 10 gallon tank) (2ft) so i could give the male betta half and the algae eater half, Untill i find the algae eater a new home anyway, And i allready have a 5 gallon hospital tank,

I know i have to cycle the tank etc, Thanks for telling me anyway.

Any the bettas would not breed, The male would have to make a bubble nest and be condtioned, Etc

Answer 1

180 liters = 47.5 gallons

The only problem that I see is keeping the male and female bettas together in the same tank. And be aware that if the algae eater (not the pleco, which you'll rehome, but the other one listed) is a Chinese algae eater, it may become a problem for the others - they only eat algae as juveniles, then begin to eat the slime coats of other fish as they mature - these can get to 10", and are capable of killing smaller fish and leaving them open to infections with the protection of the slime layer. I'd try and find a new home for him as well.

You could keep one of the previous tanks for one of the bettas, one for the algae eater, and one as a hospital tank or for raising fry if you've got males and females of the livebearers.

Answer 2

Yes i think all of those fish would do fine in there, You arent meant to keep male and female bettas to gether but since the tank is quite big i think it would probibly be allright, And if there not Then put the male back in the 10 gallon or get him a small tank, Maybe it could go on the top shelf of the fish tank stand??

Good luck with your fish keeping.

Answer 3

Every Will be OK it will be about a 40 gallon. The only thing to thin k about is the Betta's. The male will love to breed with the females and he might actually kill them , so i might get a breeder trap for the male. I wouldn't add any more fish because the live bearers. I would get a good filter because its going to run with full stock.Like a bio wheel form Marineland.And remember to add fish slow from week to week. DON"T add them in one day.This will cause alto of stress in cycling unless your using a good bio spira, don't add all in one day. about 10 inches of fish the set up day and about 3 the rest of each week.

Answer 4

If you keep the male Betta separate, it should be okay, female Bettas actually become very aggressive when males are present in the same tank. Other than that, it is a very good selection of fish! Good luck!

Answer 5

betttas can sometimes be kept in harems -- ie one male with a group of females. i don't know about mixing any other fish with them though.

180 litres is about 48 gallons.
