If you really want companions for your Siamese fighting fish, I think the Cory Catfish seem to be your best bet. There are numerous types of Corydoras. You can get the Peppered Corydoras which are hardy and can grow to 4 inches. The Leopard Catfish, which is also hardy, and good for beginners.
Two other Cory catfish to consider are the Pygmy Cory and the Panda Cory. Although the Panda Cory is more sensitive to water conditions, they are a peaceful schooling fish that should be kept in groups of six or more. They are small in size so can be intimidated by your Siamese fighting fish.

The Best Bettafish Companions
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
A few other tank mates for your Siamese fighting fish could be Platies or Moons, Rasbora’s, Otocinclus, or the White cloud Mountain Minnow which originates in Southern China. Most of these would need to be in groups of 3 or 4 or more. Others could be Loaches or Shrimp.
The African Dwarf Frog is one of the species that some people keep successfully with their Siamese fighting fish. In later posts I will go into more details on this one.

Companions for your Siamese fighting fish
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
One of the things I have heard from a lot of people who have Siamese fighting fish also called Bettafish, is their desire to introduce a bettafish companion for their fish. I have researched this very topic and over the next few posts I will give you some of recommended types of fish that would be compatible with your Siamese fighting fish.
As you know, it’s difficult to just place any type of fish with a Siamese fighting fish. Remember, in the wild they are loners, and only come together with a female to mate and raise babies and then are on their own again.
OK, so the first one is the Cherry barb or Puntius Titteya and they originated in Sri Lanka. They can grow to 2 ins (4-5cm) and live on average 4 years. They prefer densely planted tanks with some clear swimming space. You will need a group of 6 or more.
The other barb is the Gold barb which was originally found in S.E. Asia. All of them now come from fish farms. They are very easy to keep. You do not need a heater, but they must have clean water. Usually the number to buy is 3 or more. A beautiful gold color, it is very hardy and active. They may tend to nip at your plants, so be careful if your tank is sparsely populated with plants. They may also nip at the fins of your Siamese fighting fish!!!

Final Say on Siamese Plants

I hope I have not gone on too much about live plants in the last couple of posts? It has taken quite a lot of research to try and find out which of the live plants would suit beginners and others. The plants that I have suggested should be alright to use for your Siamese fighting fish tank. You do not have to use all of them, but you can choose one or more for your tank. Try the easiest first and then add one or two others.

More Favorite Plants for Siamese Fighters
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
Most of the favorite live plants that you would decorate your Siamese fighting fish tank with should be placed before you buy your fish. As I have said, plan and have everything ready. Have your tank, the water and plants settled a few days before you go out to buy your Siamese fighting fish.
Hygrophila Polysperma is another easy to grow favorite bettafish plant, but needs bright light. The dwarf hygrophila is really popular. It is fast growing with good light. Plant it at the back of your tank.
Hygrophila Difformis or water wisteria is another attractive plant. It can be used as a back, middle or foreground plant. It grows better in medium to higher lighting, but can be grown in somewhat low lighting also. It does attract algae, so may be not for a new tank.
Get some more Bettafish plants your pet will love.

Live Plants Bettafish love
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
So, I have done a lot of talking about live plants for your Siamese fighting fish tank. I feel that it is best to have live plants in your tank. The Bettafish will love you for it too! Some people may only put in plastic plants, which I do not recommend. I would rather have silk plants which will not damage your Siamese fighting fish. Live plants are much better for Bettafish. They will bring so much more life into your tank, as well as get rid of many unwanted material. All the better for your bettafish.
Other plants that you could consider would be Hornwort, Elodea, and Cryptocorynes. The latter includes the popular species from Sri Lanka= C.Wendtii, C. Walkeri and from Thailand the C. Cordata “Blassii”. Usually these bettafish plants prefer low light.
