Allright, so the 5-gallon has been set up for a little less than a week. I did a 20% water change yesterday. The betta is doing fine. He's eating, and swimming actively; flared at me a few times, but he seems interested as well. Everytime I get close to the tank, he swims right up to me and watches me. It's pretty funny.

I've actually decided to hold off on the neon tetras as originally planned. I don't want to take a chance of them nipping at the betta's fins. Instead, I plan on adding a small school of bronze corys, maybe 4-5.

Would it be too soon to add the corys? I know the tank is still cycling, but it would be nice to add a few of them in. Maybe 3 at first, and the rest later.

Opinions & advice?

In Christ,
