Is it safe to put a male Beta fish in with other small fish?

average pet store employee autumnfaerie8 know enough dangerous. in tank betta more victim of aggression. in tanks 10+ lots of cover community fish. betta, males, aren't swimmers. if go after fish in med-large tank not them. fish labeled semi-aggressive danger betta long flowy fins make him target of aggression. barbs, , larger breed tertas bad tend hit , run fin nippers. slow moving fish, or ones showy betta fins general ones @ risk betta. male fancy guppy classic betta victim.

poor swimming abilities don't in heavy current. things power heads can lethal.
note betta territorial, , small tank 5 gallons isn't big enouh them claim territory (other whole tank), or other fish hide.

ps- betta love big tanks lots of plants, , other hiding places. gentle current. able spread fins swim. sure need access surface air, once, or twice minute @ most. wouldn't use 1 of tall hex tanks, i've seen hem in 80 gallon standard shaped tanks.

pps- fish betta eat can fit in muth.

the other fish said friendly.
