Tankmates for Bettas

For a truly splendid Betta tank, I prefer a design that mimics the Betta’s habitat, complete with fish and plants that might be found together in the wild.

Despite the fact that male Bettas fight viciously among themselves, a single male Betta rarely bothers other fishes in the community aquarium. Bettas can be successfully kept with most peaceful species of fish. Common choices include the many kinds of Tetras, small Catfishes, and livebearing fishes such as Guppies, Platies, and Swordtails. The species listed below all come from Southeast Asia.
