Hi, I was wondering if Neon Tetras would go well together with Bettas. I've seen alot of videos on youtube with bettas and tetras in one tank but i'm still kind of in the middle about it. What do you think?
It really depends on the betta, tank size, and amount of hiding spaces. My female betta murdered my neons ;_; if you have a 10 gallon with plenty of cover, they should be fine. Just watch out just in case there's nipping or killing
Yeah I have a 10 gallon with plastic plants for them to hide in. I also have a castle that looks decorative but it actually has a small opening which is too small for a betta but perfect size for a Neon Tetra :-D
I have "Jumbo" Neon Tetras with my Betta, but I think It totally depends on the Betta's personality and space and so forth as said above. I purposefully got the Jumbo variety of the neons, cus I figured if they are a tad bigger the Betta might not see them as much of a snack, and my tetras all adore my Betta and follow him around like he's some kinda king. But I got lucky. It's all up to the Betta.
Alright, well my test worked good! I put 2 neon tetras in my betta tank and they are doing fine. The betta fish seems kind of confused that there are other fish here lol.
It really depends on the personality of the betta.
