Indeed, it does!! I tried for two years with my 5 males and 3 females for a successful batch. I finally got one and of the 300+ eggs, I ended up with only six survivors. But unfortunately, when I had to leave to visit my stepdad that summer, my mother simply dumped them all into my 20 gallon community aquarium when they were barely a half-inch long... to dwell with my 3 females. None of them survived the ordeal and I came home to my teal female having severe fin damage. It was a disaster and I cried for days over it.
Yeah... betta breeding is NOT for the faint of heart!!!
A single male with swordtails might be bad news. My friend's mother had her betta, Mr. Bubbles, with a green sword and three platies. His fins didn't last long because he was fairly lazy. She suspects it had to do with the fact that he was red and it attracted them to peck out of curiosity or something. O__o;;
I've had a male betta (my first, 'Rocko') in with danios, mickey-mouse platies, a kuhli loach, cories, a pleco, and a trio of neons. He never suffered a scratch..... until my brother brought a red-tailed shark home. >.<
Big dummy...
Here is what I have:
8 Red Tetras??
8 Neons
3 Female Fancy Guppies
2 Male Turquoise Guppies
1 Pleco
1 Spotted Raphael
5 Platy's
How many more neons could I go with?
I have two Emp. 400's.

No clown loaches! They get way to big!you can put way more fish in there. maybe a couple clown loaches or a shoal of cories. and there is a bunch of room mid-top for more fish. just dont have that many live bearers and go with schooling fish or gouramis
This a myth!
I started mine in a 55 gallon and they reached 4-5 inches in a years time. A group of 5 clown loaches that large produce quite a bio-load and once they are about 5-6 inches they will need moved to a larger tank.
