Betta fish are beautiful and interesting pets, but they can be quite aggressive towards other fish. It's usually best to keep a Betta fish alone. They thrive on their own and it's easier to manage their well-being.
Still, if you want to keep other fish with your Betta in a 1.5 or 2-feet tank, you need to choose tank mates carefully. Here are a few options that might work:
Snails: They help keep the tank clean and usually won't bother your Betta.
Small, peaceful fish: Fish like Neon Tetras or Ember Tetras can sometimes live peacefully with Bettas, but there's always a risk of aggression.
Shrimp: Ghost Shrimp or Cherry Shrimp can be good tank mates, though there's a chance the Betta might see them as food.
However, it's important to watch for any signs of aggression and be ready to separate them if needed.
Thank you..
