Male Bettas

Hi all,

Sorry if this is not the correct forum for posting.

I currently have a male betta in a tank on his own. Can anyone suggest fish
he *might* like as I'm worried he might get lonely or bored. I know they are
quite sociable and that 2 bettas together tend to fight so obviously wasnt
thinking about another betta.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

Ive had mine in with neon tetras... You can also put in some guppies or
other types of tetras that are as small as the neon... basicly anything that
wont bother the betta, or nip at its fins....

Dont tetras and guppies need heat though? The tank is hot enough for the
betta but I thought tetras and guppies needed it hotter?

I think Bettas like it about 80F.

I would think that the Betta would eat the neons though.

no the bettas wont eat the neons.... Bettas dont eat neons... They dont even
bother with them... And you dont need heat unless your house is like
freezing, the tank will be good at room temp.... I had them and they stayed
alive fine without heat, and also the betta didnt eat the guppies or the
neons... Bettas dont eat live food, They might kill something if it bothers
them... A neon or guppy will not bother the betta....I even had bloodfin
tetras in with the betta, nothing happened... The betta wont fight another
fish unless it picks at the betta or if it is another betta...

check out my webpage, i got pictures of the neons in with my betta, in a ten
gallon tank somewhere on there...
