I have a male betta in a 64L tank and wondered what else to put in there?
Any suggestions? I know they cannot be mixed with gouramis or guppys or fish that nip fins or anything with long flowing fins that he might see as a threat/competition.
Thanks Fiona Very Happy

Ours is doing great with some neon tetras, rasboras, and otos. I bought an extra tall plant, taller than the tank and fake, so it forms a canopy at the top of the water. This mimics their environment and he really likes to hang out there!

Micro-rasbora (such as maculata), lamp-eye tetras, white cloud mountain minnow...

Ok Thanks Very Happy I knew what I couldn't have with him but weren't sure what I could.
