>>336769Lol @ misinformed troll. You can keep bettas with a lot of different fish. They are no different than any other species. They just have special needs. Angelfish will still pick on eachother, and if you mix the wrong kind of fish with them, someone is going to get hurt. Also, if you have fin-nippers in a discus tank, you're doing it wrong--a discus tank must be designed AROUND the discus, much like a betta tank, just on a smaller scale. Platties also must be kept in a 2:1 ratio of females to males, otherwise the males harass the females into sickness.
Also OP, just to stir more useful discussion, are you putting a betta in your tank? Do you know what other fishies you're going to put in it as well? I have a 20L tank with a couple bettas in it (a female free-roaming the tank, as well as a male in a breeder net who I don't want to freeze to death) and a school of corydoras catfish. My bristlenose pleco is also growing out in the tank.
