    Had a spare small tank sitting around. so decided 2 weeks ago to start it up. added 1 Betta , 1 Plant and the light today. Added a male guppy as well but i could see the Betta was chasing him around , so i took him out. What Fish would look nice and survive in the tank with the betta. nothing big. its a +- 14L tank. Still needs a bit of work.

    A few female betta's will be fine. I would keep it purely as a betta tank.

    Yup, keep it a betta tank.

    Although, that sword is going to outgrow that tank very soon. A crypt or 2 might be better in there.

    Cool idea though.

    Okay this concept really baffles me... how many females should franna keep in a 14l tank? surely its just going to be a blood bath with nowhere to run or hide? What happens to the so called betta agression?

    Create lots of plants for hiding spaces... 2-3 females max. You ideally want 4-5 per male. But SIamese don't do well with other fish at all! They really need to have their own tanks
