Betta and Mollies

[Jenniferhowe]

I just put an adopted Betta in my six gallon Eclipse and I was going to add some Orange Mollies in a couple weeks. Does this sound like it will work. Or do you think it is too small of a tank for them to live together peacfully?

i think it could work, but without the orange mollies. Remember betas do have the agressive side, BUT you have to consider the colour of the mollies The beta might freak out at the bright colours. Might want to try a less colourful small fast fish. Just my opinion

it is BETTA adamj.
and yes, try some smaller and/or less colorful fish. if you have t have color, a pair of platies would be fine, as they are tough enough to escape a betta and not aggressive enough to go after his fins.

Yes, only add 4 mollies at the most. The male betta should not be agressive to any other fish other than another betta. So you don't have to worry too much about that. Hiding places are a good idea, just incase the male is in the mood to fight. I personally have to say, don't worry about fighting, but each fish is different.
