Jamnog - just for info, the scientific name for Siamese Fighting Fish is Betta Splendens which is why a lot of people call them Bettas.

Jht,
Sorry about your little fish friend

In answer to your other question, we have a variety of tetras and they seem pretty easy to care for. We have Serpaes, Black Skirts, Black Neons, Glowlights and Silver Tips. Of all of them, the Silver Tips do nip amongst themselves for the best position in the tank (this configuration of fish does include mostly mid-level fish) more than the others. They are a nice group of fish. I sometimes wish people could get along so well!


Oops! Just realized you are looking for suggestions for fish OTHER than tetras. A few mollies or platys would be great for a 10 gallon. Maybe a couple cories and a ghost shrimp or 2.

Harlequins are realy nice fish but they might get a bit big after a while but in a shoal they are realy attractive and easy to keep. Lemon tetras are also nice their anal fin goes a lovely bright yellow as they mature grows to about 2inches.
