Colin Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Ive had my male betta on the tank for about a month now and i think he needs a buddie. What would be the best fish(s) to put with him? its a 5-6 gallon fluval edge. I wouldnt mind putting a couple more fish in but dont want the betta to be scared!

fishclubgirl Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Umm, that might not a good idea unless his lady friend had lots of hiding places. Bettas can get quite violent if they meet an "unwilling" mate and I've lost a couple of girls and possibly a boy to this.I would suggest any smaller community fish that's not a fin nipper and he should be fine. Some of my boys and girls are in with swords, platies,mollies,angelfish wild type livebearers, rasboras and white cloud minnows and seem to be doing well.

Colin Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) I picked up 4 Cardinal Tetra's. The Betta didn't seem happy at first but he look's good now. Now I'm thinking im at the limit for this tank now? Im setting up my 2nd edge as we speak, the addiction has started!!!
