I recently got a beta fish and I wondered if I could put a small snail or bottom feeder in the tank with it?

I know both of those can help keep the tank cleaner and i figured the less times I have to change the water, is also better for the beta’s heath and nervous system.

If I can do that, what is the best “tank cleaning” critter to put in there?

So i was looking at my beta fish and he lifts up his gills and makes an odd sound. Similar to a chirping. Like the sound you can make in the back of your cheek, when your trying to get the attention of an animal, kinda like a clicking.

My beta fish has a sort of peeling on the top of his head, he stays at the bottom of the tank more than usual but his eating habits are normal. I just moved him to a new tank with this plastic coral decoration in it that fills most of the tank, so I wonder if he could have scrapped himself on that or if I really have to worry… I’ve tried to figure out whats going on but I can’t.
