Another Betta fish question

Sorry @Ram but totally disagree with you. Bettas can and are kept successfully in community tanks, provided my initial advice is followed.
Shoals of the like of neon, cardinal and rummy nose tetras will leave the betta alone.
I'm not saying one won't try and have a quick nip it probably will, but if the tank is well planted allowing the betta to hide if it wishes there shouldn't be any major problems.

Many say Malawi cichlids can't be kept in a community situation which is again untrue. It is just a matter of setting the tank up, and following the rules required, for the species involved.
