One of the more special betta tank mates

[Bladezero]

He's a cute little guy, staying in the 10g with oscar(a VT betta) 2 apple snails and some random snails.

It's one of the cases that depends on personality I guess, like Skalars,guppies and betta..

I love aquatic crabs,and crabs in general. I would love to keep some of the freshwater crabs or lobster/ crayfish with bettas I just don't want to take the chance of them hurting the betta or the betta hurting the crustacean. Just make sure he can't escape the tank :D

I want a freshwater crab! So jealous ><

He hasn't been aggressive at all with the fish or snails?

I'm hoping they make Thai micro crabs legal here. I'd love some of those.. we do get little freshwater ones up in the far north of Aus, but I don't know anyone selling them..

So far none that I've seen, might have eaten baby snails that I didn't notice..
lol yea learned that lesson when came back from the bathroom one time and found him near the door(when he was in acclimation in a shoebox size bowl)
