Beautiful set up! I have a tank with 2 frontosas and 1 pleco in it. The Fronts are very large fish. Frontosas are aggressive and are supposed to be in groups of no less than 6 otherwise "they will kill each other." Lilo and Stitch (my fish) have been together for 3 years without an incident. Just watch them. All fish are different. Almost no rules apply to all of them.

Make sure you do 20% water changes for a while so the ammonia doesn't kill the fish. Since the tank is new there is no "good" bacterial to eat up the ammonia the fish give off. 20% water changes will reduce the ammonia and allow the good bacteria to grow. After the tank is cycled (meaning there is enough good bacteria to eat up the ammonia the fish give off) Then you can cut back on the water changes. You may have known that already, but a lot of people lose fish that way. Your fish are small and won’t give off too much ammonia, but it’s always a risk with new, un-cycled tanks.

Also, if you are going to add more fish don't do it too quickly. More fish means more ammonia and if there are too many even regular water changes won't keep the ammonia level down.

I don't think it's as big as the person says it is?
I measuered the tank and i think it's smaller than what i was told!

Just keep an eye on the tetras, SOMETIMES they get along with the bettas, and sometimes they don't. So just keep an eye on them, you never know!

Anyway, gorgeous tank! I wish I had one but I don't have the time or room right now

I thought it might of looked a little smaller than a 40 gallon but I thought maybe it was just hard to tell from the pics. I don't think its any smaller than a 20 gallon though. But again its hard to tell from the pics. lol
It's still a decent size for what you have in it and most of all it was free! lol
