A Betta will get along with tetras and albino corys, right?
Thanks
Thanks
I was thinking of a male Betta. I have two albino corys one neon tetra and two tetras ( not sure what they are, the have a little bit of red). Also I am aware that these fish should be kept in a bit of a larger group.

About the betta. The only way to know for sure is to do it.
As long as you acknowledge the fact that he might be aggressive, and have a plan to correct the problem. There is no reason not to. Just don't throw him in and expect him to obey you and your rules. Lol. Fish are individuals just like people.
I got alot of crap for trying it, but I prefer to learn through experience. Also, I had got him at a wedding reception and he was in a little vase. That didn't sit well with me. At the time, it was my 55 gallon or the little cup.
It does feel good to go against conventional wisdom though. The satisfaction is priceless when you have a fish tank that performs like a well oiled machine.
I have a male betta with Neons and Glowlight tetras.
I also think my betta is lazy. He doesn't flare up at all in the tank(only did to the other male bettas in their cups at the store.)
If you want some entertainment. Take a mirror and place in front of him for no more than 5 minutes. Stand back and let the fun commence.
It may seem cruel, but it is actually beneficial for the Betta. It keeps them in shape and is good for the fishes confidence. If he scares the "mirror betta" away every once in awhile, he will feel like the king of his castle.
