I want to put my male Betta and three neon tetras back in the same 10gal tank. The problem last time was that the stress level in the water was too high, so I separated them for a few months. Now I want to put them back together in the same tank, but
You can try it, however the Betta may flare at and harass the tetras from the other side of the divider to the exclusion of eating. Of course, he may do nothing also. It really depends on the fish. Neither species will do well in water with elevated ammonia or nitrite levels.

How to introduce betta fish to neon tettra, guppies
Betta are definitively very territorial and you may notice multiple fights for space at the beginning. Definitively the aquarium must have multiple spots for hiding like Terra Cotta Flowerpots and PVC Piping, moss or bushy plants, ornaments, rocks and driftwoods. This will avoid open fights and will provide good places to have some rest.

I have a betta fish and I want to put him with neon tetra fish can he live with them and how do you know if he is a male or female. Do you want a picture to tell I will include some and will he be able to handle 10 gallon and will neon tetra also
A male Betta can be kept in a 10 gallon tank with 5-6 neon tetras. You will need to monitor for any aggression initially as well as for any fin nipping. Male Bettas are easy to distinguish from females by their brighter colors and larger fins.

I want to get both of my betas tank mates and one of my friends told me that harlequin rasbora's and neon tetras are good I just want to make sure they are. Or if there are better fish I could put in their tank.
Tetras may be a bit nippy. Rasboras are schooling fish, so you'll need at least 5-6. Make sure your tank can handle this number of fish. Shrimp (red cherry, ghost or amano) or snails (nerites) also make good tankmates.

Hi I'm looking to buy a male Betta in the next couple weeks and keep him in a 5 gallon tank by himself. I had a Betta several years ago and remember the hassle of changing the water, so this time around I was looking to buy a filter. What would be
A small tank with one Betta will require minimal upkeep. Most small HOB (hang on back) filters will be sufficient. Tetra, Fluval and Aqueon make a wide range of acceptable filters. The tank should have a cover or hood as well as a light and a heater. Bettas do best between 78 F and 80 F. Feed 1-3 pellets once or twice daily. Change the filter as per manufacturer instructions. Rinse filter media with tank water, not tap water, to preserve beneficial bacterial populations. A partial water change, no more than 20-20% of total tank volume, may be necessary every 2 weeks to maintain water quality and stable chemistry. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Water conditioner brands include: AmQuel Plus, NovAqua, Prime, StressZyme and StressCoat. You don't need all of them. Follow the directions on the bottle. Allow the tank to cycle before adding a fish. This will allow beneficial bacterial populations to colonize the filter and substrate
