I'm considering a Betta in a smaller tank. What are some active fish that like tunnels, caves, etc?

How small of a tank? If it is at least ten gallons, some Corydoras catfish would do really well in there. Otherwise, some ottos would probably be your best choice.

bettas for best health should stay alone, but white clouds,small tetras,catfish should be good.

Ive never had luck keeping anything with my bettas. I had one, Vladimir that killed 4 cories in one night. I would never have believed it but when I turned on the tank light in the am, he had one in his mouth shaking it.:#(

if u get a 10 gallon or bigger, put in a divider, and put a male on each side, if u plant each side well, u could fit 1 male johney darter on each side, or a male one one side and a female or 2 on the other, then u could take a female from one side and place it with a male when the females get big and round put one at a time with the male with a cave, and they should spawn, oo just thought of another idea put the divider un even and have a male on one side with a few female darters, then the male darter could have the other side to himself, then u could spawn with out thretining the young (a johney darter is a bottom dwelling fish with no swim blatter, they get about 2 in long, and have a wmwmwmwmwmwmw pattern along their sides, oh, and they are a be-otch to catch

putting two females so together is never good, when they see a male it is even worse. it really depends on you betta. some bettas are mild in temper and some are agressive. for more agressive bettas try larger tetras.

would an angelfish and a betta go together???

just one of each and a male betta.

No. The angel's long fins are perfect targets for the betta.

In general, bettas do best alone. They don't like the current common in community tanks, and take and excuse to get sick.

They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Thought so Just double checking =p

Thanks =)
