      I have brigittae rasboras female endlers and neons schooling together in my betta tank. I also have some Amanos in there, but it took several months for them to realize that they don't have to hide from the betta. I really hit the jackpot with this one, he's so docile, he doesn't even attack baby shrimp.

      Dominic H. The betta I had with my neons was given to me by one of my frat brothers. I forget why he had it but it turned out to be a pretty mild mannered fish. In fact, most of the bettas I’ve owned over the years have been pretty docile towards everything except pond snails lol

    I had 4-5 convict cichlids in my 20 gallon long. People will say that size is too small for so many, and from that experience I agree, but I made it work with lots of silk plants, caves, driftwood, etc. For them to claim and hide in. I'd taken them home after finding out that they were going to be abandoned in a cold classroom for several weeks during winter vacation after an experiment was completed and were in a liter soda bottle. I didn't even know what they were, but I had a tank already and added them. They ate everyone but my apple snail. Such a diet allowed them to get big fast.
    I loved them and they were adorable when they came up to the tank wall with their tails wagging, and I liked watching them do their territory dances/displays.
    I enjoyed my danios before the cichlids ate them. I'd like to have danios again sometime.
