Platies And A Female Betta?

[cuticom]

I've always really liked the female bettas, and theirs a really nice one currently up for sale, but I won't get her unless she'd be okay in my 55, as I prefer not to keep bettas in the little tanks (my 2 boys have a 20g each, just for them, no other fish) so would a single female betta be okay in a tank with 4 calico platies, 2 bronze cories (will be getting more, they all suddenly died on me when I first bought them, I had 6) and 5 kuhlis? Oh theres a single female guppy in there as well, but she can be moved.

If it won't work I won't get the girl, but she was rather pretty, and there's definitely room for her.

Depends. If the female doesn't mind the platies, as she may fin-nip them. If she doesn't nip, they should be fine.

They'll probably be just fine.

I've got two female bettas in with two balloon mollys and a orange thing (no idea what it is) and the bettas are fine with all the other fish.
