...to my community tank?
I already have one (lonely) female betta in there.
It's 145 litres, with 6 corys, 1 bp, 2 dwarf gourami, 2 balloon mollies and 3 neons. The tank is very peaceful and I'm tempted to move them now because I know that they'll love the plants. They are already weaned onto Hikari pellets, prawns and peas.
What do people think?
 
You shouldn't. Betta's won't be 'lonely' because they're solitary fish and shouldn't be kept in community tanks. On top of this, you already have Gourami's in there. Different species of labyrinth fish should not be housed together, you should take the betta which is already in there, out. Your neons should be in a group of 6+ and your tank has a mix of hard and soft water fish which really needs addressing.
 
I have fixed things! Thank goodness for LFS. Betta, mollies, neons have all gone. I now have a 145 litre tank with only 6 corydoras, 1 BNP and 2 dwarf gouramis in, but that will be another thread!
