Marine Betta Help

Hey,

Has anyone ever kept these fish in a community tank with fish smaller than it? If so please share, I want one but have heard very conflicting views on their predatorness (I know that's not a word).

Will

The marine betta is not a very aggressive fish. In addition, it's mouth is not very big so you should be able to house most fish with it. I would stay away from gobies and shrimps that can fit in their mouths. Cleaner and fire shrimps get pretty big so it shouldn't be a problem. They are beautiful fish but you rarely get to see them because they hide most of the time. By the way, don't worry if it doesn't come out to eat for a long time. Mine hid for almost two months in my 50 gal.
