Hi Guys and Gals Im thinking of getting a betta. Dont want to put it in an another tank though. Do you think theyll get along OK in mine

Its a 175 litre with 6 danios, a bristlenose and two yo yo loaches. What do you think?
 
my boy is in with danios and bns, and they all leave each other alone and live in harmony lol. However it all depends on the betta (he might get pissy with the hyperactive danios) so if you do get him keep an eye on him :)
 
You may also have problems with the danios. They are notorious fin nippers and may harass the slower moving betta.
 
I've had my betta with the boys (4 Zebra Danios) for a couple of months and they've been fine, the betta gets a little grumpy when he sees his reflection in the glass and chases them for a few seconds but that's it. The tank may be a little big for the betta, I was adviced my new 72 litre tank was too big so I'm going to make a little part of the tank just for him, a little cave and some plants in a corner for him to retreat too when his agoraphobia gets the better of :)
