Congrats! Can't wait to see pics
 
You should add 1 more cory. They like to be in trios but a pair will work in a 10. He'll be more active and happy.

Im hoping too the one i have in was left from fish i had a good while ago,he was one of 3 Julii(false), ive had him 2 n half yrs now,had some habrosus with him 4 of them but i got a water problem and sadly lost them,i want to see how Betta gets on with one i have 1st,all seems ok up to know,he has flared at cory a few times and at my Malaysian Trumpet snail lol,but otherwise he seems ok,so later on i plan to add a small group of habrosus,tbh he has been fine on his own doing typical cory thing,but i had to wait to sort water out before i got the Betta but he will have mates soon hopefully
 
Lovely betta. Beautiful purple fins! You picked the perfect name for him. His coloring and finnage give him a such a mystical appearance.
 
Thank you,i too thought it was an apt name for him,i love dragons and wizards :)

Some more pics of Merlin,I love him he is great !!!
He flares a bit at my cory i had left from last fish,but he is fine with him,was hoping he would get on with cory as i want to get a few cory habrosus later on once Merlin.settles in just so my cory has a few other cory species so he not on his own,he has been ok on his own like before i got Merlin.i lost some cory habrosus when i got a mini cycle but my Julii survived it all bless him heres pics :

Lovely pics.

I would put the betta back in after I stocked all the other fish. Otherwise it seems to the betta that you are putting intruders into his territory. I think.

Seems differing opinions ive had on this subject,some av sed see how he gets on with your cory then maybe get a few more others sed to get the cories then Betta i asked the bloke at LFS and its a good store he knows a lot,not like a lot of others i can mention he said they are usually ok with.cories mmmmmmmm :-/
If i take him out i have no where to put him :-/
