I've seen this mentioned here before (also, sorry for the betta spam :P) but I couldn't find the old questions.
I have a new 29 gallon tank that's been cycling for about a week. Assuming that the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels are safe, is it ok to add a betta to the tank before I've added the other fish?
My concern would be that the betta might decide the whole thing is its territory and not want to share with new fish when they're added. But I'm asking because I really don't know and don't want to end up causing fish fights... And just to double check, if it's just 1 betta (and no other fish that look like bettas) does it matter which gender I add? I'd prefer male just because the ones I've seen look cooler than the females I've seen.
