What kind of fish can I put with a male betta?
Good question but it is easier to tell you what not to try! Bettas in the wild are solitary, and most people keep them by themselves. A male Betta can make a good community fish provided it is not kept with other Bettas, many Gouarmis, or any fish with long flowing fins, such as fancy guppies. These fish may get attacked by the Betta. Also avoid very fast moving fish such as Danios, as these fish may intimidate the slow-moving Betta and make it hide all the time. Good companions are most medium sized Tetras, Platys, Swordtails and some of the smaller peaceful Barbs such as Cherry Barbs or Gold Barbs.
