if you're just worried about the long fins, you could try a shorter-finned betta, like a female or a male plakat. petco and petland both often carry females, and depending on the quality of the stores around you, they may also carry plakats. veiltails or spadetails may be alright, I've never had trouble with other fish nipping them. definitely avoid halfmoons, double tails, and the like though.
yeah, thats what I was worried about


so far I think it will be a betta, as I prefer there personalities over apistogramma
