My betta lives with three danio. They don't nip. I once had a panda cory in there as well and he didn't nip.

Yea, bettas and cories usually get along.
Just don't put any black tetras with him. I learned that the hard way.

Hi Sin211

I raise cory cats and keep bettas in several of my cory tanks. They are a great combination because the corys spend most of their time on the bottom and the bettas natural territory is on the top.

In fact, they get along so well that in time the bettas have come to enjoy spending time on the bottom with them. I have seen them watching the corys and even going into their caves with them.

Corys are a schooling fish and should be kept in groups of 3 or more, and there is a large variety of interesting corys. Here's a link that shows some of the possibilities:

I think it's the perfect combination!
