hey guys i just got a ten gallon that i want to put a male betta in. now i was surfing the web for good tank mates and i found this......Bettas are not recommended for community aquariums. But some people do keep them with other fish. Here is some advice for community tanks:

1. Keep the temperature 78-82 degrees.
2. Bettas are slow moving and like to hover at the top. Provide some floating plants for hiding.
3. Avoid aggressive tankmates that may nip the Bettas fins. These include tiger barbs, large gouramis, , black tetras .
4. Avoid slow moving tankmates that the betta may nip. These include guppies, neons, small tetras, angelfish, goldfish.
5. Possible tank mates include Dwarf Gouramis, Head&Tail Lite Tetras, Moons, Mollies, Catfish, Small Red Tail Shark.


do you agree with the yes and no tank mates? keeping in mind its only a ten gallon
 
Anything slow moving and not territorial.

That's all anabantoids, most cyprinids and characins. Also, they may nip guppies, but other livebearers are ok. As are frogs, cats, and suckers. HTH
