Yes, bettas do fine by themselves because they are solitary fish. Tankmates are usually the owners' preference, not the betta's.

maybe some otos? or even a couple khuli loaches?

[Calmwaters]

I believe Khuli loaches will get to big for his tank with the other fish and they like a soft subtrate so if you have gravel I would not suggest them.

[Rubicon]

Yeah, I have gravel. It's a 3 gallon tank and only room for a small tankmate. What's an oto?

[Calmwaters]

It is a type of alge eater but if your tank is only 3 gallons the only thing I think you could try to put in there is maybe a ghost shrimp or 2 just know he may eat them.

ive seen kuhlis do fine in smaller gravel. true they CAN get to be 4" although ive never seen that happen. doesnt mean it cant though.

I looooooove kuhli loaches. They're so freakin' adorable.

I think they need at least 25 gallons, and they burrow in the substrate so something soft is best.

I love my cories as much as I do my betta. I have 1 skunk, 1 panda, and 2 false julii and it took a bit but they all swim about together though the group makeup varies at times. I'm not so sure Schroeder likes the rest of the Peanut gang though (Panda = Snoopy, skunk = Linus, juliis = peppermint patty and the girl with glasses lol)
