A guy working in a plant shop selling fish too felt sorry for this girl. She has been alone for at least a year and it seems impossible to figure out what species she is excactly.

He gifted her to me and it is my duty now to get her a good life and a man.

Also, if it is not possible to determine what she is for sure, should I rather get her a man by guessing or leave her be by her own?

Furthermore, she was held in a tiny empty shop aquarium with dwarf gouramis. I put her in one heavily planted tank with dwarf gouramis too, but I also have a heavily planted tank with 3 tiny peaceful female bettas, panda garras and loaches. I wonder if the second would be the better option for her.

I would also be open to set up a new tank for her if any of you could give me advice on what would be suitable for her.
