On the other hand, some are so aggressive they'll attack anything that moves. As far as suggestions go, i think that your betta would be better off alone. |

| Inkling Fish Addict Posts: 689 Kudos: 498 Votes: 11 Registered: 07-Dec-2005  | Bettas, or Fighting Fish, have a tendency to become aggressive. If your tank is well planted with lots of hiding places for the cories you won't have to worry. I would buy an extra 1g for him in case he becomes aggressive   Inky |

keithgh      *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003   | is this normal for bettas Nothing is ever "normal" in a fish tank if it was it would be one of the easest pets to keep. I have been lead to believe that the "Red" strains can be rather aggressive. When buying a M Betta I also would prefer that it is in a larger community tank at the LFS at least then you can see if it has any aggressive/passive behaviour. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
