GREAT News! :)

A lot of you know, I had a Betta in a one gallon tank... everyone said that I need a five gallon or larger for it... so I listened! (finally) I decided to try putting him in my ten gallon community tank. I didn't think it would work, because I have some guppies in there, and bettas are known to be a little mean to long tailed fish.
Well I just put him in an hour ago, but he has not shown any aggression at all! I will be watching him for the next few hours to make sure he will behave. He is beautiful. When I first put him in, he was not liking how much flow was in the tank, because I have and aquaclear 30 power filter. Well he got used to it a few mintes later, and his true personality is starting to be revealed. I will post some pictures soon.

That's awesome! In glad it worked out for you! Let's just say my Betta isn't a huge fan of other fish lol!

Beautiful Betta!

Thanks. My brother picked it out... he chose wisely! (I mean he chose a beatufiul fish that potentially was a threat to others, but the one he chose was actually pretty peaceful.)

You're lucky! I tried to put my betta in my 20g with endlers and platys and he kept flaring at 'em all do I had to move him.

Lol. Thanks again... the betta seems kind of lazy. Lol he likes to stay at the surface in corners. Silly!

My betta flares at me. But not his tankmates. He is afraid of the camera. When I first tried to get a picture of him, he darted across the tank!

Cool. I don't know a whole lot of about snails. Do they have a large bioload? Sorry to get off topic.

no, nerites dont have a very large bio load at all... they are very small, and the largest i have seen was an inch long. its fine, i dont mind being off topic
