Bettas: solo tank or a peaceful community tank?

Background

Bettas are territorial and their long fins attract nipping, so the classic advice is to keep them alone. Some keepers report that in a large, heavily planted tank, a betta can live happily alongside calm tankmates like corydoras or shrimp. Personalities vary widely, so careful observation matters whichever way you go.
