What else is in the community you have at home? I love male Bettas in community setups and it's always good to hear what works for other people.
ha! I've got a lot going on in there...
4 neon tetras
4 galaxy tetras
3 brochis
1 molly
1 comet
1 yellow finned eel
2 gobbies (don't remember what name)
1 rubber nose plec
1 yellow plec ( don't know the ID on this one really)
1 glass eel
1 dwarf rainbow
1 albino tiger barb
and I'm sure I'm missing a couple.. I know this is a weird setup.. but I over filter this little tank cause it needs it.. and from what I see, it works.. so there ya have it..
