I have one single male Betta in a 10g tank with a filter and heater, along with numerous plants and setups. I would really love to get him some tank mates without buying a new tank for these reasons:
1. I recently had tadpoles, and he spent his days watching them swim around, but I set them free and now he doesn't seem as active as before.
2. I heard that even though Betta are vicious, they do like to have friends.
3. I feel as if there should be more than one fish in this tank, I hadn't intended on such a large tank for just him, but this is how it played out.
If you have any fish suggestions, please, please, please give me a more detailed description of why you think they'd be acceptable, as I actually want them to live. I know that most of you will say "There's no fish that Betta's get along with", but I want to give it a shot because I've heard success stories from numerous people. Also, I'm looking for fish, not shrimp or African Dwarf Frogs... I previously owned a pair, and one ate the other, then the other got sick and died, so I don't want contagious diseases from them going to the fish or the fish to the frog.
