[kizno1]

i had one just like it i was told they could go in comunity tanks and in the first night it killed 3 guppies and i couldnt aford a new tank so i had to take it bk

 

[joey54321]

aw i asked at the shop if he was ok with neos they said yer should be fine but if not i can take him back so far no trubel fingers crossed

Aaaahh, beautiful colouring.

 

[kizno1]

some can live with them but others will attack them so you will just have to watch him
and the reason they attake guppies is the males fins are long and they mistake them for other bettas

Watch his fins the tetra may start ripping them depends on temperment of both the betta and the neons with whom attacks whom you could just be lucky though and have compatible personalities

yer thay said not to have him if i had guppies myn dided a few months back

 

[kizno1]

i just keep a female now she didnt bully the guppies the guppies bullied her so she wedged herself dwn the bk of the filter and her eye half poped out so shes in a 5g tank on her own

I plan to keep mine with guppy's again it depends on the fish and also how you introduce them if you rearrange the tank a bit and remove the fish then introduce them all to the tank together then that supposedly helps with them playing nice.

 

[kizno1]

how bigs ur tank

 

[joey54321]

15 gallen

 

[kizno1]

thats should be enought room for the betta to get away from the neon if the do chase it

Hi

Welcome to bettas.

Just out of interest, what was in the tank with your new betta at the lfs?
