betta with tetras??

[SneakBetta]

OK, I've got a 6-gallon with a Black Skirt Tetra and 2 neon tetras. The tank is fine, all clean and everything. The fish seem happy and have full appetites. Would a betta get along with these tetras? If so, is there enough room to add a betta? I really want to add a betta but I don't want my tank getting messed up.

It's enough room for a betta, but not with those fish.

The minimum, IMO, size tank for skirts is 30 gallons... I had them in a ten gallon tank and they did not do well.

You are overstocked, even though your fish are doing well.

The Black Skirt Tetra has been in there for 1.5 years

Well my friend, I think that you tank is just fine (with the fish you have in atm) if the amonia and nitate and nitites and pH is okay. But I would not put a Betta in that tank. Although, you could go out to walmarts and get these really cool 1 1/2 gallon critter keepers and that would only be about 5 dollars. Very reasonable. That what I would recommend

EDIT: Walmarts has silk plants on sale!

lol!!

I have a 1-gallon bowl that I want to put a betta in, but my parents think that I don't have room or time to take care of a tank and bowl.
