Who are the best betta tank mates?

Have you ever wonder who are the best betta tank mates?

You have a friend named betta and he/she looks abit lonely which will push you up to find your betta friends. So, I would like to list 10 best betta tank mates as below. Hope this will be your helpful suggestion.

1. African Dwarf Frog 

The African Dwarf Frog is an aquatic species and cannot survive on land. Two to three inches in length, average 5 years lifelong, these dark-green colored frogs prefer small stoned smooth gravel. Hiding spaces provided by plants, rocks, or driftwood are essential due to their shyness. Dwarf Frogs are also passive eaters. They have their own food requirements, and cannot survive on a diet of pellets, so you have to make sure that your betta does not eat your frog's food.

2. Ghost Shrimp

One of good tankmates for your betta is the ghost shrimp. Ghost Shrimp, also known as Glass Shrimp, are excellent scavengers.They are inexpensive and efficient aquarium cleaners that will actively search for any kind of left over food in your aquarium. They will happily live in 10 or more gallon-tank. They can grow up to 1.5 inches in length and live for 1 to 1.5 years with proper care.

3. Cory Catfish

Cory Catfish (also known as Corydoras Catfish, Cory Cats, and Armored Catfish) are loved by aquarists of all skill levels for their mild temperament, gentle nature, and unique characteristics. Corydoras live on the bottom, feeding, and can live alone or in schools depending on the size of your tank. They range from 1.0-2.5 inches in length and can live for 2-3 years.

4. White Cloud Mountain Minnows

This lovely fish is easy to care for and enjoys the same diet and water requirements as the betta. Generally, the betta likes warmer waters and the white cloud mountain minnow prefers colder temperatures, but 75 degrees Fahrenheit is a good middle ground that is ideal for both fish.

They are peaceful creatures that won't disturb their tank mates, and their discoloration will not make betta feel threatened.

5. Mystery Snails

A Mystery Snail is a freshwater aquarium snail often available in pet stores. They are highly unique in appearance with their large and colorful shells in golden, blue or dark brownish. Adults can grow to around 2 inches in size, with an average lifespan of one year. Ideal tank for mystery snails is from 2 to 3 gallons.

Mystery snails work hard to clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color. They are completely peaceful, and therefore safe to keep with betta fish. Also, Your betta will normally ignore mystery snails, and if not, the snails have hard shell to protect themselves. 

6. Neon Tetras

Despite advising betta fish owners to avoid tank mates with bright colors, the neon tetra can do well with betta fish because of their speed. They are small schooling fishes that grow to be up to 4 cm (1,57 in) long, lifespan is about 3-4 years. Fish back is dark, olive drab colored, its abdomen is silvery. It is easy to care Neon Tetras with a 10 or more gallon - tank

7. Ember Tetras 

A mix of ember tetras and a betta is a nice idea. Ember Tetras are peaceful schooling fish. They thrive in the same conditions as the betta and require water that is anywhere from 68-84 degrees. They are also easy to feed, and like the betta, they enjoy foods such as brine shrimp, blood worms, and flakes.

They are on the small side only getting to be about .75 to 1 inch in size as adults and lifespan is from 2 - 4 years.

8. Harlequin Rasbora

Harlequin Rasboras are a beautiful, peaceful shoaling species suitable for the community aquarium. A school of 5 to 6 in a 10 or more gallon - tank will make an aquarium vivid and vibrant with movement. They can grow to 1.5 inches in length and live on average 5 years.

9. Clown Plecos

Another algae eater that can be compatible with the betta is the clown pleco. Clown Plecos are dark brown with yellow irregular vertical striping, which serves as camouflage when grazing on wood. They have hard, armor-like scales. They are small and peaceful and can be kept safely with most community species but not only with betta fish. They enjoy an average lifespan around 10 years in captivity and maximum length is around 4 inches.

10. Kuhli Loach 

Kuhli Loach is a good choice to get along with your betta. They are peaceful ground fishes which are more active in the evening and at night. They will grow to be about 8-12 cm (4-5 in) long, however in a tank it won’t be longer than 8 cm. Lifespan is about 10 years, although it may be longer.

Happy fish keeping!

The Six Common Species Of Betta

There are as many as 100 different types of betta fish but i would like to show you a list of the six most common betta fish available in any pet store. They are most colorful freshwater fishes. 

1.  PLAKAT BETTA

It is a short-tailed Betta, and is the most closely related to wild Betta splendens or traditional fighting Bettas. Plakats can often be mistaken for female Bettas to the untrained eye, however, males will display elongated ventral fins, a rounded caudal fin and a sharply pointed anal fin

2. CROWNTAIL BETTA

Crowntail betta fish (Betta splendens), also called Siamese fighting fish, are a very popular breed with fishtank owners. Males in particular are prone to high levels of aggression and will attack each other if housed in the same tank. If there is no means of escape, this will usually result in the death of one or both of the fish. Female bettas can also become territorial towards each other if they are housed in too small an aquarium.

3. HALF MOON BETTA

It is a very desirable tail type. It is characterised by having the full 180 degree spread when flared, forming a "D" shape with straight edging.

4. DOUBLE TAIL BETTA

It can be seen combined with Plakats, Halfmoons, and even Crowntails. It is a genetic trait that causes the caudal fin to grow into two lobes rather than one.

5. COMBTAIL BETTA

It is a cross of a Crowntail and another tail type. With selected breeding a Combtail can be bred into a Crowntail, but may still carry a dominant gene such as the Veil Tail. They often have the typical droop of the Veil tail but combined with some extended rays on all fins to varying degrees.

6. ROSETAIL BETTA

It is an extreme Halfmoon with excessive branching of the rays giving the tail a "ruffled" edge. It has so much finnage that it overlaps like a rose.

So, which one do you want?
