I'm very curious. Could you please list the fish that you have housed with bettas succesfully? I need some ideas.

i have found the corydoras variety of catfish to be very good betta companiions.

I have 10 cory's in my split 20 long. I had them in my sorority tank but the girls kept eating the sinking wafers >.<

one of my bettas is in a 29 gallon tank with coris, rams, variety of tetras, danios and white clouds (the white clouds are amazing, they got along in every situation where I had a community with bettas), as are the coris. The danios only worked in my 29 gallon tank I had a few in with a betta in a 2.5 gallon and they fin nipped, most likely due to the smaller space. I moved those same danios into my 29 gallon with my other betta and they now no longer fin nip.

I have another 3 gallon tank with a betta and 1 siamese algae eater. The algae eater likes to try to school with my betta and JD is always like "what the heack dude...personal space here!" lol

Nothing yet. I'm planning on getting shrimp for the girls and a pair of ADFs for my 5 gallon.

cherry shrimp seam to work well but if they die your fish will eat them. so will another shrimp if thers another in there. but i would recamend the gost shrimp they get larger then cherry shrimp.(only 1 inch tho. the cherry ones only get to 1 cm)

I highly doubt they're only 1 cm. That's nothing. Are you sure? :shock:

I keep 5 white clouds, a dwarf african frog, 3 otos and an apple snail...everybody gets along just swimmingly...! It's got a few plants...a coconut, a kyoto, and a gold ribbon...I might more kyotos though!

I have a dwarf frog. They're really cute, but feeding is a bit of a pain; I have to use tweezers to feed her, or else my betta will eat until he is bloated and leave nothing for the dwarf frog. She even puts up with his bullying. I had ghost shrimp too (before the frog), for awhile.... until he ate them.

I just picked up three glass shrimp. One didn't make it home before the other two canniblized him. The other two are happily foraging in my tank. The big one is just about as big as Tango. I named her Big Bertha! Tango went up to her, checked her out and then left her alone. The other is smaller. His name is Burt. Don't know if he'll make it. I have so many plants and stuff, I'm just hoping they stay hidden and live. They are SO neat to watch.
