[joza2210]

Hello ,
I have :
2 x Orange Platys
1 x Golden gourami
1 x Leopard Ctenopoma

In two weeks i would like to get a pair of bettas ...
Can some one please give me a list of fish that can go with mine ?
And would bettas be ok with the fish i have got?

No, bettas should not go with Gouramis, it will be a blood bath. It the betta doesn't get the Gourmais, the Gourmais will take the betta out.

When you say a 'pair',do you mean male and female? Males and females can not be kept in the same tank, males can not be kept with males. Females should be ok together, in a group around 5 - 7 but that depends on the space in the tank.

TBH, bettas are better off with fish such as tetras, do not put them with Angels, Oscars, Parrots or other long tailed or fin nippers. Bettas should be fully researched into, before purchasing. They are beautiful fish but are also one of the pains to keep, when it comes to community tanks.
