Koy fishes.

Answer 2

i'd say get some guppies, but instead of just saying that, im gonna provide some more info on why you should get them. first of all, they can live in like any water condition, though they provide about 78 degrees normally, the babies (which you will get lots of) prefer 86 degrees to grow faster, and to breed and really set the mood its 82 degrees for the male and female. they will also get along very well with your cory cats and betta. ok now for the breeding. youve heard of people getting tired of their fish dying in a couple months and them having to new ones. guppies arent like that. guppies are very disease resistant because they originate in south america in small streams or ponds where any water condition is fine for them. they also live a very long time, but depending on how low the temperature is will make their life be a lot longer. i have some guppies that are 2 years old! and if something unfortunate happens say a couple guppies die, they are reproducing so fast, they will replace their unfortunae brothers and sisters. the only very small downside is you may need a couple extra tanks if you want to keep them all. otherwise you can sell them to a local pet store where they will gladly take them in exchange for money, or store credit where you can get free pet supplies to support your guppy breeding "addiction" that it may soon become. guppies are also very colorful. the males tend to have smaller bodies but bigger more colorful tails, as the females have much larger bodies (especially when their pregnant) shorter less colorful tails. definitely keep them, becuase they are the future to guppies that are soon to come. the females give birth to 30-50 guppies, however many are eaten by the parents and other fish. to prevent this you should get aquarium plants. i hope you found this information helpful, and BEST ANSWER PLEASE! i hope you can tell that this answer blew the others out of the water : ) good luck with the guppies i hope you are soon to get, and happy breeding!

Answer 3

It is difficult to find suitable tank mates for male bettas. I would say get him is own 3.5-5 gallon tank, and stock the other one with more cory cats and some tetras.

Answer 4

tetras

Answer 5

The only thing you can add now is more corydoras, because they like to be in a school of 6+ individuals so that they are their most active and less stressed. Your betta just probably attack most other fish you add.

Answer 6

Add another Cory Cat...these guys do best in groups of 3 or more.

Bettas can get along with Community fish, but avoid long finned colorful fish...like guppies.

With a tank this size, and lots of plant cover...you could probably get away with a couple of platies.  I had 3 platties in a 10 Gallon with my male Betta and they did great.  But I had lots of plants and a Log for hiding.  Either get 1 male and 2 females or 3 females or 3 males.  You may get fry if you have a male/female mix and the platties and betta will try to eat em...unless of course you seperate em.  

In the past, I have had a Male Betta in a 10 Gallon with a school of 5 Neon Tetra.  There was lots of plant cover and lots of hiding spaces but it worked.  Also had 3 Green Cory Cats in the tank.

Its iffy with a Male Betta in this size tank on what to add.  Another suggestionI would be to add a Dwarf African Frog.  But you have to make sure they eat...the Cories could compete for food with this guy as they are slow eaters and it has to right in front of them.

Its hard to say...but one idea is to get a tank divider and get another Male Betta...with the tank divided...you would have 5 Gallons per fish and 2 times the color and enjoyment.

Best of Luck!
