🐟tankmates that survived my bettas (10 gallon)
not the generic pet store chart. temperament matters more than species averages here

1
Corydoras habrosus (dwarf cory)
2
Corydoras pygmaeus
3
Ember tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae)
schooling helps, wouldn't do fewer than 7. mine get chased maybe once a week, nothing serious
4
Nerite snail
only works once the tank's already grown some algae. new tank + nerite = it starves, learned that the hard way
5
Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata)
this one's a coin flip. my current betta ignores them, my last one treated it like a snack dispenser
6
Malaysian trumpet snail
7
Otocinclus catfish
(quarantine new fish) lost half a shipment to ich before I started doing this
