Well, I have a 55 gallon tank with lots of little gold fish, and African butterfly fish, 2 bettas (i know its controversial, its being discussed in the betta section), 8 or 9 neons, a snail, and 6 or 7 ghost shrimp. One of my bettas ( a lovely completely whiteishpink color) and my ABF are in love. They swim together and share the same territory and they rub up against each other and share the same food. It's realy cute, you'd have to see it. Last time I fed the tank, the betta completely ignored the flakes. Instead as the ABF was sitting there with the cricket hanging out of his mouth, the betta pecked at the poor crickets legs and soft abdomen. The little bits of cricket that were floating around the water (it was a big 'un) were rounded up by the betta also. They are like an old married couple, I wish i had a video camera. Ill post some pictures of them being cute together. Its sweet because I think the white betta is too distracted to try being aggresive with my other betta.
 
Sounds lovely, hope it works out for you.
