I have a question.

Would a betta be ok with Rainbowfish?, would the Rainbows nip at the betta?

The tank i'd be putting them in is a 37 gal high (which is basically a 29 gal with slightly more height than a 29 gal).

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks! :D

I think your problem might be the betta slowly starving to death. Rainbows are voracious eaters and fast swimmers, so even if the rainbows don't nip at the betta, the two probably wouldn't be great tankmates.

I agree, the Betta would become infuriated with the antics of the Rainbowfish.

Most of them, I doubt, the Betta could really hurt. The Rainbowfish would most likely think it was great fun.

But the Betta would be hating life because of that big, dang zippy fish.
