New Beta
Saw this guy at the LFS and could not pass up a chance to test the age old question- do male betas work in community tanks? so far so good in my case.

Do you have them with guppies? (smaller finned varieties) I've always wanted to know if they are compatible.

His current tankmates are 3 dwarf gouramis, an opaline gourami, and 7 bleeding heart tetras. My main concern was that the tetras would nip at him as they did when the gouramis when they were introduced.
The LFS I bought him from had him in a community tank so he was already used to sharing space with fastmoving tankmates. It also really just depends on the beta! Good luck if you decide to try it out for yourself. |

Wow, I've never seen one that looks quite like that one! Very nice. BTW, I generally am not very fond of male bettas but he's real cool looking.

Your Betta is beautiful! I have considered getting one and putting it in a little nano tank or something. I've never seen one in that morph.
