Guppysnail Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Every betta is different. It is entirely up to your fishes personality. How big is your tank. I kept a betta with neons without issue. He was not aggressive shrimp used to land on him without him freaking out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betta can get territorial in smaller spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Kaplan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If you're working with only the 3.5 gallon tank it would be my opinion that adding neon tetras into Morpheus's tank would not do either of them any service. Neon tetras would be happier/less stressed in a bigger group than you could do with the 3.5, which is usually why they are not suggested for that tank size. It really comes down to a bettas individual personality when it comes to compatibility for tank mates; are they a boy or girl? The boys tend to be more aggressive/territorial, whereas the the female bettas are sometimes more tolerable of other fish; though of course each individual fish is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
