	betta & WCMMs?
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Doing some tank rearranging again I have a small group of WCMMs in my 29g that I was wondering if I could safely keep with one of my male bettas. Both the 29g and the 2.5g the betta currently lives in are the same temp. My main concern is would the white clouds bother or nip at the betta? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

They nipped the tails off my otos, tore the fins up on my congo tetras, and terrorized my large blue gourami into hiding. I tried the 29g as a last resort and the angelfish told them where to go. No more nipping white clouds and they've since moved back into their own tank.
