Betas

[Jason]

Are there any tropical fish that can live peacefully with betas? Like, say a Platty or a zebra danio or a neon tetra or a guppy or a cory?

I have all of those and was wondering if I could add a beta. He'd be the biggest fish in the tank and was wondering if he would bully the other fish.

Thanks.

The zebra danios may pose a problem but it should be fine if you have enough of the danios that they're more interested in their own school than in the bettas pretty, flowing fins.

No guppies as they see them as competition with the flowing fins, platys might be ok and cory.

I'm assuming that means you have something less than that - probably a 10? In which case, no betta. I'd wait until after the upgrade.

As to your fish compatibility... I've heard bettas aren't fans of neon tets... but then again what fish is.
