It's ~22 C (~72 F) on cool/cold days. This being summer, in a south
facing apartment, even in Canada it's often 27 C (80 F) or better.

72*f is a bit too cold for Bettas and Cories.
If you're water temp usually hangs around 80*f, that's fine.

Well, I had bumped up the temperature on the tank heater to 24 C a
couple of weeks ago. The corys and the minnows seemed to be doing
fine, and the betta didn't seem to have any illnesses. On monday
(09 July) I finally transplanted the betta into his new home.

I'm still keeping an eye on things, but the new tankmates seem to
be getting along quite well. The minnows were initally curious of
the betta, but seem to leave him alone for the most part. Whereas
the betta just seems to be happy lurking around the plastic pants.
It was pretty obvious that the betta probably wasn't used to being
in so much water. :-) The corys never paid the minnows any
attention, and they pay the betta about the same amount.

Truth be told, the betta seems to be more interested in humans and
human activity than in fish and fish activity. I had almost
forgotten how much bettas reminded me of puppies in that respect.
:-)

Oh well, that's all I have to report about my rather mixed-up
community tank at this time. Just though I'd share so it'd be in
the archives. :-)

Thanks again,
