Fairly experienced fish keeper, but have never had a Betta. I’ve set up a 10g planted, heated, sponge filtered and almost cycled tank. I’m thinking a male, but I also want to give him some compatible tank mates. Looking for recommendations for both a Betta variety and mates. Also would appreciate insight of which to add first, the Betta or buddies. Not particularly a fan of snails, but shrimp are on the list. Any thoughts welcome. I apologize as I’m sure this topic probably gets asked routinely, but hey, new here. Look forward to meeting you.
