Answer #2

I found this on line to share as well…

Can I keep bettas with other fish?

Yes. Bettas are actually very friendly fish as long as you don't put two males together. They get along with most other fish, and what you really have to watch out for is the fish that harass bettas.

Bettas are slow moving fish with very long fins, so they can't be kept with any quick fish that have a reputation of fin-nipping, like zebra danios. They get along *great* with most variety of tetras, and I raise my baby fish with baby neons all the time. Mollies and platies and other of that variety also work well.
Answer #3

yes, as long as its not with another male betta…it will be fine.

Answer #4

No bettas are mean/fighting fish and will prob. kill the others.
