Phlox was definitely a smart & special little guy! He demonstrates just how smart these pets of ours can b.

That is such a cute story about Phlox and the snail.

The only time I've had a Betta with other fish was when Dorado was in the 20 with several Cories and Otos. The Cories included Corydoras pygmaeus which are the smallest species of Cory and only get to an inch...and Dorado is a fairly big boy, so he probably could've badly hurt one if he wanted to. But I never even saw him flare at another fish. He seemed to like the catfish food better than Betta food (which is partly why he is now removed from that tank), and he would sit at the bottom nibbling at the wafer while the tiny little Cories swam all around him, also eating the wafer. Occasionally he tried to play boss and chase them from the food, but the cats hardly noticed...I could just imagine them rolling their eyes at him like "whatever, you go ahead thinking you're the boss but you're not." It was very cute.
