Bettas With Killifish?

[sexyhaze]

Hi there, I am new to this forum and i have a male betta "George". He is currently living in a 8 litre tank on his own and i am just deciding whether i will get a 25litre tank with a divider and then have two males (one in each side), or if i will buy a 25litre tank without a divider and have a few (2-3) more fish with george in there.
I do not know much about killifish compatability except that my friend has 4 killifish, a dwarf loach and a borneo sucker in a 25litre and they get on fine.
If i went for a community tank instead of the betta divided tank, would a killifish, a cory, a dwarf loach and my betta be compatible??

Depends on the killi really, Gardneri are terrible fin nippers if there is something long and colourful about. a cory would be OK but they like other cory company so your tank would be too small.
By dwarf loach are you talking otocinclus, if so then yes it would be OK with a betta.

Some bettas will get on fine with thoes particular fish others wont. What is best to remember is that bettas are solitary fish and they do prefer it that way. If you do decide to split a tank then try to have dividers that make it hard for the bettas to see each other as this can cause problems with some.

Also Amerce is right about the Corys you need 4 at least, 6 is better still.
