These fish are the best choice for your Betta aquarium:
Neon Tetra: They are a peaceful, shoaling species that only grow to around 1 inch in length so do not require a lot of room in the aquarium.
Black Neon Tetra: Like the regular Neon Tetra, this fish is the same species that exhibits a different coloration and will add variety to your aquarium.
Rummy-nose Tetra: Like most of the Tetras on this list, they are a shoaling species that are still relatively small, growing to around 2 inches in length.
Ember Tetra: They are a calm tempered, shoaling fish which grow to be only one inch in length and do not take up very much of the tanks territory, making them ideal.
