Once my white clouds were grown and part of a healthy school I was glad I had a 55 for them. They are live in streams in their native environment, and loved swimming against the water flow ad racing through the tank. Not sure I would be comfortable keeping them in a short little tank knowing all that

Scarlet badis is my no. 1. They are very fun little fishes I have 4(1male 3females) in my 20 gallon with other community fish. He used to be pretty shy to the point I decided to give him to a nano tank owner but in 2months he put on a bit more size, coloured up and became very outgoing. So I decided to get him 3 females and now all he does is eat and guard his harem from every other fish😂. He usually stays with his family in the giant Java fern I have in the back of my tank

they are a shoaling fish actually, its my one gripe with the co-ops vids, look up any video of peas in the wild and you'll see em shoaling in groups of at least 20 or more, they r a prey fish in their ecosystem and thus find refuge in numbers and exhibit social behaviours.
