They like plants, especially floaters. The only problems I saw were between him and my blue gourami, who was simply a nasty fish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

He may have a problem with the female betta. I've heard people say they're shy fish, never seen it myself. Very sociable likes to nibble the hair on my arm when I have to stick my hand in the tank. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Right after I feed them one chases the other a little bit. But there are plenty of plants in my tank so they stay seperated. At other times they swim around together with each other. Great beatiful fish in my opinion.
