Betta tankmates

[Frontosa Lover]

Any ideas? Large tank with plenty of cover. Would glass cats work? They are complete opposites to the betta. Other options appreciated and sought after. Thanks☺. P.s. It's going to be a male.

What size tank are you thinking of?

I had a short-fin betta in a 30gal with live-bearers. Swordtails I think. No issues from memory. Except with the gourami - definately didn't get along.

Harlequin Rasboras are compatible.

Some neons might work, depending on your betas personality. Also, you could consider some shrimp or a merits,mystery snail. Good Luck!

sorry *nerites* not merits. Stupid autocorrect.

Lol - I was thinking, dang it - all the good stuff in the US that I can't get


I guess another question for OP would be is the tank high-flow (which the betta may not like).

I have always had tank mates for my Betta's. I found that as long as no one has flowing fins that the betta did not harass the other fish.

Neons, Cherry Barbs, Khuli Loaches, Denison Barbs, frogs, snails, all ok.

Shrimp proved to be an expensive meal for the betta. No shrimp.

My experience has been it is up to the Betta...

My current Betta is fine with 3 Albino Cories and 4 Mystery Snails but is pretty sure Neons are intruders.

175g. Okay so harlequin rasbora school, glass cat school and male betta. Could I add an emarlald cory, or are they too glamorous ?
