Betta tankmates?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
did you even read any of the thread before you started posting lil brother? lmao, i asked if shrimps can be kept with them any the answer was a resounding no.
 
I've never tried a cray with shrimp but I don't thi9nk it would end well.
 
I had a 10 gal w/ a male betta a few female guppies, and 3 corys. I've never had an issue mixing male bettas in with female livebearers.. ever... Personally and at work. Danios I would never trust, neither would any other known fin-nipper species. almost foil-prof stocking for the tank imo would be.

1 betta
3 corys ( smaller species such as the peppers, or one of the dwarf species if you can find them.)
3 female platies or guppies. swords get fairly large even for a 10 imo, and mollys can be nippy.

You could also sub out the corys for some kuhli loaches, but w/ the UG filter I'de not reccomend it.

key to mixing bettas or anything potentially territorial is to make breaks in vision, ie alot of plants or decor to hide/get lost in.
 
my betta is weak...my red veiltail that gets bullied by,in my opninion,the worlds baddest goldfish(my goldfish was raised with convicts and for some reason pushes/nudges the other fish.i think thats his attempt to try and fight like a cichlid lol)
