I will definately consider one, then. He does sound really cool, and as long as he doesn't eat my cleaner shrimp or the smaller fish I will put in the tank, then he's a real possibility.
OK. Reply to both of you guys. I'm not even sure I can find a Betta to look at and would like to see one before I buy. BTW, what size tank is he in?
As far as Wrasses, it's probably a silly reason I don't want one. My clowns were the first fish in my reef. Then I bought a flasher. Three days later, it was gone. It couldn't have jumped as this was a closed cube; nowhere to go. I never found any part of it. Just disappeared. Amost killed me. They are beautiful, and I've been tempted, but the stigma remains. Losing all of my chromis was devastating as that tank was cycled for a week. Then, all of a sudden, it wasn't. Scared to put anything in there now.
Well, it's an empty tank all right, except for the shrimp that survived. But why would a wrasse just disappear? I took into consideration the fact that some sleep under the sand, and after 3 days I took a fork and gently raked the sand; no wrasse. I did have a (I'm gonna spell this wrong) narcissus and I always wondered if it got him, but they don't eat live stuff. Makes me gun shy. But they are so beautiful. And I have a tight lid. And cats.
