Betta with Neon Tetras?

[ECH2005]

im getting a larger tank soon, but I'd like to keep a small tank in my room, which already has 3 neon tetras in it.

Is it safe to house a male betta and 3 tetras in a small, 3gal tank?

are bettas aggressive towards all fish, or just other bettas?

is 3 gal too small for what i want to do?

thanks

I wouldn't get the betta. Wait until you get the big tank and put the tetras in there. They'll nip the fins of the betta and then dart away. They're too quick for the betta and will cause stress on him. Just my opinion. HTH

so the tetras would be the aggressor in the situation? interesting...

Yes but if they get caught... they may be lunch
