hi
well i have a 10 gal tank with assorted ornaments and fake and real plants. at the moment i have only 4 neon tetras.

I was wondering can i add a betta to this tank, or move the neons to another tank i have and put the betta in the 10 gal.

if i do this, wat are some easy,(preferably hardy) fish that would most likely get along with a betta?

Rasboras are a good choice for Bettas, as they don't bother the Betta's flowing fins. Harlequin Rasboras are ideal.

It really depends on the aggressiveness of your betta..welll I have 2 community tanks with a betta male and female,the first tank has a betta male and female ,platys,swordtail,pleco and tiger barbs,,,,the second tank has male and female betta,and 4 pairs of red zebra danio and one clown pleco and one albino pleco

...also it is heavily planted

Some male Bettas don't like any company at all...so watch carefully for the first few hours.

be very careful and keep a close eye on the tank for a few hours after adding any fish in with the betta. I have found that opaline gouramis will attack a betta, and the betta I had attacked mollies, so you just never know what will work. I even tried a few zebra danios with that betta and he was killing them too.
