I just read somewhere that my wifes Beta will "play well with others" in my tank. My question is I have a "Red Belly Pacus" that is pretty good sized. Can I put her Beta in the tank?

You can put your betta in the tank, however you probably won't have any betta left to take out!
Bettas go well in the community tank not the meat eating south american ciclid tank.

Can you really put a betta in a community tank? I have been scared away from that from everything I've read or people I've talked to.. mostly saying the other fish will pick at it relentlessly because of its long fins.. I'd love to have a betta in my community tank, but I'm afraid.
