I went extreme overkill with a 150gallon heavily planted and hardscaped out with 1 male Betta , and a ton of guppies , a few shrimps , and a couple of snails , with dwarf Cory cats. The colors of the critters in my tank really "pop" because I have a black substrate and tons of greenery from the plant foliage. My nephew says my tank looks like a rainbow exploded

Make sure you know its personality or be ready to keep a close watch on the tank. I thought my little guy would be fine with others because he had a bad eye when I got him. I thought perhaps this would impair his ability to hunt and therefore I could keep him with others. Turns out he is the one eyed red devil. After decapitating many shrimps and eaten endlers later I learned my lesson. I thought maybe snails? The harden shell of the nerile might live to tell the tale. This however was not the case and they too met their demise. My red one eye plakat betta now swims a 6 gallon long tank with only plants to keep him company. He also randomly attacks the thermostat quite often now to get his aggression out. Still love the little guy!

My betta was aggressive too. He’s on a 5 gallon tank. It took me at least 3 times introducing shrimps for him not to attack them anymore. My sister taught me that I should put some hiding places for the shrimps so I put some rocks at the edges of the tank and some plants too. He doesn’t bother my snails. Got two newborn ramshorn snails.

Great video Cory! I have become a Bettaholic... Side effects are multiple betta syndrome and multiple tank syndrome 😂 I had a fish room 20 years ago and hadn't had a betta since my dad won me one at the fair when I was 7😭... So not having fish for many years a friend of mine I had not seen in a long time brought me a betta and one of those little "self cleaning"😢🤣 tanks.... So I got my Google on just to look at other bettas and discovered your Channel and so many others.. I was also introduced planted tanks.. I never had any luck with plants before until I started learning with all these amazing channels!! I just set my daughter up to 29 gallon with your large Sponge filter and some plants from you guys!!(my favorite plant that I recommend to everyone is your Pogostemon stelltatus octopus) I'm so excited that she's gotten into the hobby and my grandchildren absolutely love their betta fish!! I shared this video to her! Great information and very helpful!! She did get a trio of Guppies, a trio of platies a tiny baby bristle nose named "Jimmy"🤣💚 some mystery and Ram's Horn snails. She was really interested in knowing other fish that could be in her Aquarium!! So this was perfect! Thanks for all y'all do and share to help people get into and stay in the hobby!! Thank you for sharing!! I hope everybody there is having a blessed day! 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚

I had my betta in my community tank, he was awesome! Then my husband got a crayfish and put that in the community tank, so many things were wrong with that. The biggest problem was crayfish and betta do not mix -- so now Betta has his own planted tank and thinking of getting him more company besides snails and plants so this was a great video to give me ideas!

I recommend long fin danios (Long Fin Slows Them Down) whether that be Zebra Danio, Leopard Danio, or Normal Finned Celestial Pearl Danios. Stir away from Giant danios as they get a little overwhelming for the betta. They can be nippers but with the long fins they have a hard time getting those fins. id also recommend Platy's specifically The Marigold Platy, This type of platy I find to be extremely hardy (more so the males as the females are harrased and usually die about 5-6 weeks in) so Maby have just 1 Male Marigold platy ( and 3 females if you want to be risky).

I think with snails it really depends on the temperament of your betta that would determine what kind of snails you can get. My betta couldnt care less that theres a snail sharing his space, hes in a 10 gallon, and I have a horned snail. The most I've ever seen my betta do to the snail is look at it, before quickly swimming away.

I have 3 bettas in nano community tanks. In 10 long is Boo with 6 ember tetras and 3 cherry shrimp that did well for 9 months. I've just moved Boo to his own 4 gallon because I believe he's eating the shrimplets and I've ordered 10 red rili shrimp so I can hopefully, breed more to adults and add them to other tanks. In 10 high is Splash with 9 espei rasbora, 2 embers, 3 khuliis (Splash's lounging buddies😀), 2 adult cherry shrimp. Happily for about 7 mos. I have a newly cycled 20 long with Chilly, my first koi plakat. Thinking I'll eventually add some cardinals and panda cory's.

my betta does better with fish than a snail. the snail was slow and didn't fight back. he nipped off the antenna. The fish, though he does chase them, they are fast and can hide/break line of sight. he hasn't messed up any fishy fins lol

@@rangerlovee3324 agreed. my snail made the grave mistake of going into my bettas floating log (my bettas main territory) lucky I saw him freaking out on the snail trying to do as much damage as possible. I broke them up but needless to say the tetras I have fair much better against the betta as once they run she doesnt even bother chasing.

I have a “giant” betta I got from petco he looks like an oversized plakat. I have him in my plant grow out tank which houses white cloud minnows... so yes it’s a little chilly in there for him atm but I’m working on moving fish from one tank to another. Eventually he will be housed in a 20 long with pygmy corys and green neons

If your considering buying a group of kuhli loaches just get ready for them to be your favorite fish. Little guys are fun to watch swim around. Just be careful with plants and give them caves. If your making a cave then make sure you can see into it, they all huddle up.

@@antivaxxnugs7859 I assume that so long as you have a well-fitting lid without noticeable gaps, the water perimeters are nice, and there’s no extreme cases of aggression/stress (so the loaches don’t have a reason to try and escape), it should be okay.

Kuhlis are my favorite fish. Such fun personalities. They love zooming around the tank and crashing into everyone. They get along phenomenally with my African Dwarf Frogs. The Kuhlis and my frogs both play together in the bubbles from my air stone and they snuggle together. What I also love about Kuhli Loaches is they don’t bother anyone. They aren’t aggressive at all. I’m cycling a 20 gallon tall right now with hopes of moving my male Betta into it because he’s currently in a small tank. I really want to put some Kuhli Loaches in there. I’ve heard that African dwarf frogs can also mesh with a betta. I still want to do more research on that though. I don’t want to be impulsive with my tank selections.

My betta is a.... unique... fish. He likes to bury himself in substrate... so I changed to smooth marble so he wouldn't keep damaging his fins. He also sought out every firmish stem plant.... So now he has silicone imitation anemones, glass marbles, and duckweed with a gentle waterfall inducing filtration system (the betta likes to 'ride the water slide)....and ghost shrimp. The shrimp like to ride on the bettas back (ride 'em cowboy🤔) and eat the algae. Finally, his tail is growing back.

I had a female Betta in a community tank and everyone did great, but she died very rapidly of overeating. It was really sad. It was impossible to feed the other fish without her scooping up everything she could in an eye blink, I could not stop her from doing so. I wish someone could make a video about how to get around this problem.

I know it's an old comment, but maybe my comment could help someone else. I've seen some people get one of those floating Betta logs and they feed their Betta through the hole of that. If the Betta is busy eating there, throw other food away from the log and maybe other fish can get a chance to eat then.
