I have tried a betta in a community tank..once in a 10 gal and the other in a 55 gal. Both times...and it was the same fish..he just didn't like the current. I would find him wedging himself in places, to keep from drifting around. I ended up taking him out an putting in a bowl with no filtration and he was happier then. Unfortunately I lost him one winter when our power went out and he got chilled.
Do you guys see this or was my betta unusual? I'd like to start up a 10 gal and stock with a betta and a few neons but if this is the norm for bettas, I will look at something else.
