Clown killifish with betta

[suttont11]

1 male koi betta + 2(or 3) clown killifish - 10 gallons
Aqadvisor puts the stocking for this at 64% but I’m more worried about temperment.

Lay it on me. How bad of an idea is this?

I'm also very worried. The betta may see the killifish like a betta and will attack them. And, you rickrolled me XD

Depends on your betta.
I have one male clown in my tank with betta and 10 WCMM. (Got 10 eggs, only 2 hatched, but ordering more eggs soon so will have more of them - Preferably one male + 3-4 females). They started fighting one day when they were about month old, next morning i found one of them 5 meters away from tank...

Betta is used to small fish because he is with minnows for last 3+ years, and clowns are half the size of adult minnow.

Anyway clowns are tiny fish and don't think betta sees them as threat.

If you are buying clowns in shop, most of stores will stock only males because they are prettier and if you put 2 males in 10g they will fight. So that is one more thing to consider
