Mmmm, more ill advice from the shop hen - I already took the Dwarf Gourami, Hatchets, Pencils and Guppie back cos Gourami was nipping others, (Betta always been there) already lost 2 Pencils. Ironically I changed them for the Rainbows. They told me not to listen to forums cos never know where the advice is coming from!!! When I specifically asked if the Rainbows would be OK with the Betta, they reassured me they would!! Great advice eh!! Told me they'd never ill advise cos been in business 20 yrs.Its the Betta - best to re-home him - even if you get them healed he will probably continue to nip. Its best not to keep any long finned fish with Bettas as they see them as a threat.
Have nowhere to house the Betta until fins heal, probably end up taking the rainbows back! Or, if I got rid of the Betta, what other larger fish would be OK as I like the idea of one large one (can't be bigger than 2" tho as that's the width of the wall tank)?
I'm sure you could find a dirt cheap 5-10 gallon tank for him with a heater and a small filter? How's ebay looking? A friend you can borrow a small tank off? Just throwing it out there. You could have a really nice, cheap project on the go!
