They are both air breathers, and will not have enough surface area to establish their own territories. ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

They did fine together ::Edit:: But this was in a much larger tank. A 29 or 30, I believe. [span class="edited"][Edited by iluvbettas 2004-07-28 19:13][/span]

As for tank-mates for your betta, in with my bettas I've always had some type of bottom dweller. Currently, I have ottos and shrimp.

royal cichlid Banned Posts: 39 Kudos: 84 Votes: 4 Registered: 02-Jul-2004	What about some different specias of rainbowfish, cories or loaches

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	well i would agree most of the times. really bettas should be kept by themselves because if they are not injuring other fish they get injured.but it really depends on ur bettas personallity.

royal cichlid Banned Posts: 39 Kudos: 84 Votes: 4 Registered: 02-Jul-2004	MY buddy says not to try phantom tetras (or any other tetras) with a betta because their fins are long and will get ripped to shreds, P.S. my betta is quite aggresive yet gets along fine with my gouramis

bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	well fish like bigger tetras such as black phantom tetra should be good. i am not sure about the gouramies but i know bettas should be fine.
