Betta_Fantasy Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 44 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Dec-2005  | Betta fish (betta splendens) and black skirt tetras? I am thinking of adding a few to my ten gallon with a betta and four khuli loaches. Any input would be helpful, thanks  |

While many people keep them in community tanks, I have always found them on thier best behavior in their own tanks with small non-bothersome tankmates like applesnails, and possibly ottos.   Inky |
