could some one please upload a male picture of the tetra.

[edit] Suitable for bettas?

I know that this fish can nip. But I read that they don't nip if there are enough fish in the tank. Could I put a male betta in a tank with 10 black skirt tetras? the tetras are very young and long just about 1 cm.

• other tank mates are:
• black neon tetras
• glowlight tetras
• Corydoras paleatus
• and amano shrimp.

Hello there, depending on the size of your tank yes. The idea behind them not nipping at fish if there are alot of them in the tank is that they will be more concerned with each other then the betta. However there is still a bit of risk by introducing the betta. What size tank do you have? --Brian 05:06, 22 November 2009 (UTC)`

The tank size is 125 l. And both the betta and the black skirt tetras and also the glowlight ones are there to. The black skirt tetras don't care about tha male betta, they are more aggresive to each other. Just that you know this tank is in my school and everyone wanted to have a betta in there. Also there are many plants, stones, moss and tree roots. This morning the betta male swan right through the place where the skirt tetras were eating, and they actuallymoved away from him. So i hope they'll be fine.
