Betta Fish are fairly common amongst aquarists. There are several different species of betta's. There are some that are peaceful, and some that are really vicious and fight.
Here are some of the different Betta Fish Species
There is the Bellica Savage/Slender Betta which is not a good fish for a community tank. Although they are not all that aggressive, they are still best to be kept alone.
Then there is the Brederi Myers / Breeders Betta which is also not all that vicious, but it is still a good idea to keep them in a fish tank by themselves.
The Imbellis Ladiges / Peaceful Betta / Crescent Betta, are rather peaceful amongst themselves and other species.
The Smaragdina Ladiges / Peaceful Betta fish are not vicious and can get along with one another.
Then there is the Splendens Reagan / Siamese Fighting Fish which can usually get along with other fishes that are the same size, but if you put two males in the same fish tank, they will fight until the other one retreats.
The Splendons Reagan / Libby Betta Fish are vicious, and two males shouldn't be kept in the same aquarium as they will viciously attack one another. Females of this species can be kept in the same aquarium with individual males, but some might kill any smaller fish that you have in the aquarium.
The Split Tailed Betta - Double Tailed Betta Fish are also not fit for a community fish tank because they move so slow.
