Would a betta be ok here?

[ANIM4L]

Hi i have a couple bettas myself, and i was looking at getting a crowntail, i acsolutely love them!!! I was wondering, would it work out in my 60 gallon to get a crowntail, or would that not work, i mean my fish are all nice fish, never any problems, but i ave lots of gouramis, so i didnt know if it would be ok to have a betta in there, if so tho, i would LOVE one! I have many hiding spots and live driftwood and live plants... please help me!

Personally, I wouldn't put him in a tank with gouramis. You've got an angelfish listed in your tank and they don't go well with those either.

I agree with karah, also with so many fast moving fish he would get out competed for food for sure, he wouldn't stand a chance at feeding time and he wouldn't like all the activity in the tank.

Not worth risking it IMO. Get a nice 5 gallon for him that he can have all to himself. or divide it in 2 and have TWICE as many bettas!!
