Betta Companion

Hello, I just recently got a betta about a week ago, he's in a 2.5g tank. He's doing really well so far, but I was wondering if getting him a tankmate would be a good idea or not for the size of the tank. I've heard bettas can be paired with tetra, snails, crabs, frogs, and smaller fish that don't have long wavy fins. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a picture of his setup.

For the tank size I would recommend no.

Remember, Bettas aren't like us. Just because they are alone doesn't mean they are lonely.

If you are set on getting a companion for your betta you are pretty much limited to one or two shrimp or a snail. Even then the snail can be iffy depending on the species. Some get too big for a 2.5 gallon.
