I have my betta male with two white clouds and many snails...I am a beginner at this but he seems to like the roommates , he is too active for the frogs I tried at first..

I had a female betta who lived in a bowl with 2 guppies perfectly happily

[megladonsharky]

What size bowl?? and were they regular or fancy guppies??

i have a female with two male dwarf gouramis! Get along great. She is so active. She has horizontal stripes and she sometimes chases the big bully gourami. Its funny cuz the big bully gourami chases the other gourami yet he is chased by such a small betta

One male lives ina one gallon with snail buddies who is changed twice a week ..

VERY COOL - I did not think Betta Spelndon's could live with any other fish. Here is a photo of mine when he was given to me by my neice for Christmas. Very cute of her.



He is in a 10gallon now with a allge eater. They do well together.

My male bettas are notorious for hating my dwarf gouramis.

I have heard of that. I think it is because the dwarf's have such bright colors so the male betta is intimidated. I have 4 dwarf's. That is why my betta lives in his own 10gal. With a pleco and some other small algae eater.
