Yesterday I bought a female betta (along with a few other fishies) to add to my 55 gal planted community tank. I remembered hearing that they are compatible in community settings. BUT as I got home, I remembered also hearing that bettas dislike strong currents (i.e. filters?). I have already seen her get sucked onto the filter thing once, and my experiences as a fish owner I know thats not a good sign! I dont know betta personality, so I'm not sure if she is stressed or not. She moves her fins constantly and swims around the entire tank, so that is contrast to what Ive seen most bettas do. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep a betta in a filtered community, or if you can??
