I just recently got a ten gallon tank with lots of plants. I have a betta, nerite snail, and a Cory cat. I went to petco and the guy said that 3 black skirt tetras would do fine with a betta, as long as it is a ten gallon tank. I went ahead and bought them. I stuck the bag in the tank first, the betta didn't notice. I released them and they were fine. The betta flared at first, but then left them alone. One of the tetras seems more aggressive and stays away from the other two tetras, occasionally chasing them. He also hogs all of the food. I watched the tank for the rest of the day and fish were fine. In the morning, they were fine. I went to school, coming home to find my betta hiding and his fins are ripped away. Is there a possibility that the filter did this? He is currently in a too small tank, and is very unactive. I feel so bad! Should I return the agrresive tetra?? I've heard that adding more tetras should get rid of their aggresion. Is this true??? Please don't tell me that bettas can't go with other fish, because I know that is not true. I will keep my betta in his "hospital" tank until his fins are back. Please reply soon!!
