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.

Depending on the fish, it might be aggressive towards your tetras and mollies, which tend to be pretty passive fish. I wouldn't, just to be safe.


Is it safe to keep betta fish with neon tetras in the same tank?

Can a betta fish be put into the same fish tank as 7 neon tetras 2 black neon tetras 2 black skirted tetras 1 glo-light tetra 2 male guppies and 1 octicinclus catfish?

Do you have any idea how big most Plecostomus sp. get? They grow into monsters (12" minimum) and your tiny 10 gallon tank won't be big enough for it by itself. If you just had the five smaller fish and the Betta you would be very close to overstocked because your 10 (nominal) gallon tank will actually only contain a maximum of around 8 or 9 gallons. Tanks are never filled to the brim and probably also have gravel on the bottom which will displace some water.

i have a plec but i know someone who had loaches golden barb and a sharkfish and they were fine You can keep other fish of a similar size and temperament with tetras. You may also keep smaller sized Veil Angels with them, although your best bet is to stay with fish that are also brackish in nature. The size of your tank is also very important with determining appropriate tank mates.
