No fish gets along with a male betta except for maybe a could of corys and snails. but any other fish would be dinner for him.

Well...I once had two male bettas (not at the same time, obviously they would have fought with one another) in a community tank with all kinds of other fish, including tetras, and neither one ever so much as bothered any of them...

im sure you didnt have a one gallon tank like sarah does, im sure it was much bigger, and also sarah is asking about one tetra in with her betta. in which case a betta will attack and kill a single tank mate in close quarters. a betta in a larger set up with many fish will rarely have a problem.

You're right, sully, I was talking about a larger tank with many more fish. Didn't know she was referring to a one-gallon, in which case yall are absolutely right.

she must be, if you look at her other post which pretty much asks the same thing, she explains everything a bit more.
