You could also, add a snail (but sometimes they can get rather large). A ramshorn would stay smallish. Some people add one african dwarf frog and not a snail, but the betta would be fine by itself. Make sure to add just a very small pinch of salt to the tank if you should go with a betta.

I read about the salt in a book / informaton on the internet on bettas, but I don't know how many other people have used it. I have not had any problems with salt, but I only use a very tiny amount. I guess it is a matter of personal perference and what works for you, so long as it doesn't harm the fish.

SiameseCat Fingerling Posts: 25 Kudos: 21 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Feb-2005	Thanks for the ideas! I have one that has been sitting around empty. I put water in it last night and I'll leave it to settle while I decide what ( and if anything) to put in it. I have had Bettas before but I have a big glass vase for them. I had one in it and it died after about 3 or 4 months. It was so beautiful that I quickly bought another. It also died within months. After that, I decided never to get Bettas again.

I suspect that constant exposure to salt would do more harm than good... I second the endler's livebearers. Or you could get a couple male guppies. Or you could just have a dwarf frog without a betta... ><>
