Betta in paradise???

[Stevie]

Hi all.
Im new to the fourm, just wanted to ask do you think it would be ok to keep a male betta in a 120ltr tank with a male paradise fish????

The paradise fish has been in the tank a week.

I wouldn't.

no, bettas only really do ok with calm non-swimming tankmates...the exception being cories...and that even depends on the temperament of the betta, and the size of the tank.

Tho there are a lot of places that say a betta "can" be put in a community tank, it really doesn't work well, and often ends up in disaster.

Yea I figured that might be the case. One thing I have kept red bettas in a tank with tiger barbs!!! They never touched him
