Thorn

Hello all!
I am a college student and I have been a betta enthusiast for 3 years now. I currently have a small tank for my betta (who is a spoiled brat :P). However, recently I have been looking into getting a larger 10 gallon tank for my baby, but I would think this would be too lonely for such a small fish, so I would like to get him some tank mates. I have done a little research on this, but I can't find any information on how many fish is too many. The way I'm looking at it now is along with a few live plants, getting a bottom feeder: a bristlenose pleco, or perhaps a corydora...or perhaps even a snail?; and a school of 4 neon tetras. But I worry if that's too many fish for a tank. I'm very diligent about cleaning tanks, but I've never had anything except a betta, so I have no idea. Would anyone please help me out?

All of those sound good to me. My girlfriend kept a Betta with 5 Neons in a 10g for a long time a long time ago.
As for the others I a pretty sure they would be fine.
Thats my 2 cents,
But I would wait to hear from somebody more experienced with Bettas than I.

i've heard that you can keep bettas with other tropical community fish as long as they aren't aggressive and they have small fins...i dont know how true it is though.
