Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	I am soon to be setting up my new 10 gallon with habrosus (as soon as a lfs gets them in hopefully) and was wondering would it be possible to keep a betta in with these small hasbrosus? I noticed my betta liked to pick on my rams a little so i'm not sure. Anyone had experience?

The only way to tell how yours will react is by actually putting him in there and see what he does. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Some bettas might not see small cories like C. habrosus as threats, while others may actually try to eat them! Any betta that tries to eat a cory will soon learn not to though, because of those spines. Of the two bettas that I have kept with Callichthyids, neither paid the catfish the slightest attention. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
