    I have a 5 gallon tank with a Betta and 2 snails in it. I have a 10 gallon I want to eventually set up for a full real planted tank but I can’t in the apartment I have right now. The snails are great as tank mates cause they also clean the tank for you. My betta likes to chase them around the tank or when they are not doing much he likes to flare at them but he does not harm them in anyway

    Fish For Thought put his betta in with some shrimp and she murdered them all, so that might not be the best option. 😅 Generally it seems like it depends on the personality of the individual betta and it's better to not risk putting one in with anything but snails (they just don't like, need or want other tank mates). Also I'm just imagining him shuddering over the artificial decor 😂 but it looks so pretty, and I think it will look even better once the plants grow out more. 😊

    Please look a getting a short finned koi betta fish. First off, the reason to get a short tail is because the way they are breeding know long tail live a lot shorter and the tail makes it very hard for them to swim. I absolutely love koi betta fish and I think that it would look amazing in your tank they are also called galaxy betta fish. I really think you would love the way it would look in your tank and would add to the magical feeling. I really hope you look into my advice. But, of course I will love your videos eny way and it is your choice.
