| Hello Again, 1. Whichever is biggest (I can't remember at the moment) is probably going to be your best choice, followed by the one most commonly stocked by your petshop (they tend to be hardier). Probably bronze or peppered. 2. Tankmates in a 3-gallon system other than inverst is nigh impossible. Bettas are an anomoly in that they can handle both seclusion and small spaces better than almost any other species of fish commonly available. Now, white cloud mountain minnows, guppies, paradise fish, and other hardy species are often sold for small bowls, but most of them don't even last half of their appropriate lifespan in an environment less than 10 gallons. As such, your betta is probably best left to itself--provided it has a heater and filter, of course. MOA

| 1. I decided I'll get the Skunk Cory because they all get to a maximum size of about 2.5". My LFS always has them and Peppered Corys, but I don't really like Peppered or Bronze as much (and my LFS doesn't have Pandas so I'd have to get them to special order it from LiveAquaria). 2. That's what I thought, I was just checking. Thanks MOA. ;)

1. Peppered and Bronze are the biggest, Skunk middle, and Panda smallest. Your best bet is the Pepp. and Bronze but Skunk will do fine. You might want to watch it for a little while so that no one steals its food; add it before the swordtail so that the cories are more established and therefore less scared of anything.
