I have 4 females pot bellies, 1 male betta, and a small passive alge eater, in my 10 gal. I did try putting the male pot belly in with the females, he didn't waste much time getting "frisky" with them, but then the girls starting to get nippy with each other. And yes he was very nippy with not only his kind but with some of the other fish in there, I believe he is actually the culprit for 2 deaths since I got him. So I took him back to the fish store, I thought that was the better thing to do anyways since seven fish in the 10gal. just seemed like to much. The 20gal. has calmed down and seems much more at ease now. Thanks for the help anyways.
