    Betta tank and tankmates advice?

    In my very limited experience- Neon teras work well Corydoras Catfish work well African Dwarf frogs work well Bloodfin Tetra has been 50/50, and sounds like they will not work well in general Ghost shrimp were consumed by the betta pretty fast, but I never saw it happen

    If I add fish and they still harass the betta, I will either need to get a second tank or return some fish. As long as other people agree I won't be overloading my tank, it is probably worth a shot

    Wasn't aware of this. I ended up with the one Bloodfin as a long story...but basically the other two remaining neons grew old and died and he got along fine with the previous Betta

    New fish being bullied

    Hey this is my first post outside of my introduction (http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f59/new-to-forum-169354.html#post1543664). I registered because my new Betta is getting bullied by my Bloodfin Tetra. Bought the Betta yesterday and he seemed like he was shy but fine... this morning he...

    Hello, I'm Zach. I suppose it would be helpful to outline what I already have - I have a 10 gallon tank with heater and power filter rated for its size. Currently I have 3 Corydoras Catfish, 1 Bloodfin Tetra, and 1 new Dragon Betta. My tank is gravel, moderately heavy planting with 3/4 being...
