Is it reasonably likely that my male betta will get along with my 5 platys?
I want to get 5 platys in a 10G ( i have a similar thread going). i have 2 males so far, and im getting 3 females tomorrow along with a betta male. I was wondering (i know there are different types of bettas...tail types and colours etc.) are they different species..as in better temperament with a crown tail rather than a..different type of tail (i dont know any others!). I do have a breeder net on the ready if things get ugly. Settle him in in there, and then release him.
Are the platy males likely to give him some trouble? Ive been told he'll hold his own. The main reason i want a betta is because they're so beautiful and ive never had one so i wanna try em out. Also, with 3 female platys, im expecting lots of fry so im hoping the betta might keep the numbers of fry down. I was told they will is that right?
