Can you put a betta with a fruit tetra,3 platies,2 guppy's,and 1 zebra danio?Thanks

If the can-I'd be SOOOOO happy 406.gif banana.gif nana.gif purpban.gif GroupHug.gif

I wouldn't. Danios can be nippy if not kept in schools, (at least 5, but the more the better) guppies need to be in schools too, but the betta will see their flowy fins and may attack them. What's a fruit tetra???? How big is your tank? Sorry :\ Maybe we can make you some more suggustions if you tell us your tank size smile.gif

Oh,it's a 10 gall -___- I just thought it might not like the bubble curtain over there.But,it might.The Dania is a bit ,i think,territorial but all he does is chase a bit and then go back to work.The guppies fins arent that long *_* A fruit tetra is a flat looking tetra-Mine is a whitish blue.I'm slightly overstocked I think but I'm bot to fond of keeping him in the 1 gall.Thanks

Do you already have your fish? If so it sounds like the others would get along great and you'd probably have room to get them all some schooling buddies in the ten gallon. Do you have pics of a fruit tetra, or maybe a web page? It sounds really neat!

I wouldnt put a betta in the tank. It will either have its fins ripped to pieces by the faster fish or try to chase the other fish and cause itself a lot of stress.
You should get some more danios and more tetras but not the fruit ones as these are dyed.

Yeah,I already have them in the tank.I nerer knew the friut tetras were dyed sad.gif Hmmm...
