Can bleeding heart tetras and cardinal tetras live peacfully with a male betta?

Yes provided the tank is large enough and properly maintained with a good filter and weekly water changes of 50%. To avoid problems from overstocking, you will need at least 1 gallon of water for each 1 inch of fish length.

Will a neon tetra and a cardinal tetra coexist with a male and female Betta?
The problem will not be the tetras coexisting with the Bettas. It will be the female Betta. She will undoubtedly be killed by the male. He may well spawn her first but afterwards, if she is left in his presence he will kill her. Also if he has ova or fry to look after he will kill the tetras in defence of his young.
Will 5 neon tetras and 2 cardinal tetras coexist with a male and female Betta and what size tank?
When a female Betta is introduced to a male Betta one of two things will happen. The male will build a bubble nest and try to spawn the female and during the courting time he will drive off any other occupants of the tank and kill them if they can not escape (hide successfully). He does this in order to protect his prospective young. If she fails to spawn he will drive her off and kill her if she is not removed. In other words you can not keep a male Betta with another Betta (male or female) without trouble. The Tetras will be perfectly OK with a Betta female OR a Betta male. Not the two (pair) that you are proposing. The general rule that all experienced and successfull aquarists live by is a fish needs 1 gallon of water per inch of body length. Work it out.
Can you keep Betta fish with Neon Tetra fish?
You can put at least 5 neon tetras with Betta's because neon tetras need to be in a school. If you only put 1-3 neon tetras, then they will probably be eaten by the Betta because you won't have enough neon tetras to be in a school. The purpose for a school is to protect themselves from predators with a group and if you only have 1-3 neon tetras, then they will hide and get really stressed out. So, get at least 5 neon tetras and another important thing is, get a big enough tank for your Betta and neon tetra. That is, because, as you know, Betta fish are territorial and need their own territory and if the neon tetras enter their territory (if the tank is small), then the Betta will probably attack (that is only if you don't have enough neon tetras and not a big enough tank). So, it is important to get at least a 10- 15 gallon tank and get at least 5 neon tetras for 1 Betta fish. 1-3 neon tetras won't work. They will not be in a school and will be stressed out and hide from the Betta. A thing about neon tetras that is interesting and is cool is that, neon tetras bury their eggs in the gravel (Make sure to only have gravel!) if their eggs are not going to hatch. Also eat them.~Thank you, and good luck!~
How many Neon Tetras with a Betta in 4 gallon Aquarium?
You should only have 1 fish per gallon of water in a fish tank. I wouldn't put more than 2 or 3 Neon Tetras in a 4 gallon aquarium with 1 Betta.
What fish live with Betta?
Betta fish can flourish in a community tank, however because they are at times aggressive fish (males especially) correct pairing is crucial. Bettas usually get along well with neon or cardinal tetras, platies, mollies, guppies. Stay away from tiger barbs and cichlids, they tend to pick on or even kill bettas.
What can live with a betta?
A lot of people believe bettas are aggressive to everything they see. That is not true at all. Male betta's can live with any fish that does not bear a strong resemblance to it(like guppies for example) Female bettas can live with anything. The only exception to this rule is fish that will eat bettas like oscars. They also do very well with African dwarf frogs and ghost shrimp. You can add fish or other animals if you have at least a 10 gallon tank with a filter and not just a bowl. This is my 30 gallon tank setup My half-moon betta Flare 4 zebra danios 5 neon tetras 4 cardinal tetras(The cardinals and neons school) 4 ghost shrimp 1 ottocinclus catfish 3 mystery snails The betta is super chill about all the other fish

Betta fish, guppies, tetras.
Will a Betta fish attack other fish in the same tank?
Usually Yes I had a 30 gallon fish tank with 5 neon tetras, 4 cardinal tetras, 3 zebra danios, 2 swordtails, a dwarf gourami, a bunch of ghost shrimp, an otto catfish, and a red betta. The betta didn't pick on any of the other fish, even the neons and ghost shrimp. It was highly peaceful and had quite an appetite.(Not to mention cute As long as all the other fish a. Are not long finned b. Reasonably quick c. Don't look like a betta(like guppies) and the tank is a. Large(like mine) b. Not overcrowded c. Well planted and filtered The betta will be happy and get along fine with all the other fish
Can you keep a betta with bumblebee gobies?
No, but some tank mates you can consider if your betta is in a 10 gallon tank are neon tetras, rasboras, white cloud minnows, or even some ghost shrimp.
What types of fish can live in a 15 gallon aquarium comfortably?
many small fish such as small tetras, rasboras, smaller shrimp, guppies, platies, endlers, etc. or, you could get a betta with a small school of tetras as long as neither of them are fin nippers as their personalities vary by individual.... (the betta would love you for all the room)
