All the bettas I've had can be put into community tanks I currently have two halfmoon bettas in seperate tanks one by himself and one in a community tank Some good tank mates would be platies or guppies ppl say that you can't mix guppies but its not true I stick to getting darker colored guppies though so that might resolve the issue if your going to mix him with other fish stick to docile fish tiger barbs and similiar fish will nip at the bettas fins I currently have two ghost catfish two plagues and two guppies n a snail with my betta n he's fine I've had him for a year already
