Need some info

[MasterDrummer]

I need some info about keeping Bettas in a community tank.
It will be in my 12 gallon

Male or Female?

Would it be too aggressive?

Are my fish compatible? (the 12 gallon)

and Im looking for any other advice as well Thanks.

you could keep either in the tank i think... the neons are fast enough to get away from the males... the females are usually less aggreesive so u could probably house either

The neons will nip your betta I know a lot of people keep them in communities with no problems but IME&O it's not a good idea.It's best to keep them solo

ok I think Im going to get the betta and also a 2-3 gallon tank in case the neons nip him or he's aggressive. And if he does fine then I have an empty tank begging for a betta

neons nipping?

i never heard of that b4 weird

They're like little piranha If you look up some info on bettas, they're usually one of the fish that you're told to avoid mixing together. Tetras nip, I've seen it, I got rid of my tetras when my betta was in a community for that very reason.

MD~ right on to the 3 gallon

as long as you don't have gouramis a male is fine
