My male betta did not really have a chance to live with other fish, because i kind of fell out of liking aquariums for a while and he was given to me as a gift. He lived by himself for 9 months, then I got a bottom feeder, later i got 2 livebearers, and now i have several various gouramis. He seemed to be okay with it at first, he would sometimes chase the fish though. Last night i went down to feed them, and i saw him trying to bite any fish that got close to him, fearing damage to my fish, i quickly exiled him to some large jar i found. My question is, should i get him a new place to live by himself, or will a few weeks of living alone calm him down and make him loose any territorial claims in my large tank, so that he could go back there?

As suggested in your other thread, get your betta a permanent home outside of that 10 gallon tank and consider changing your stock in it as well.
