You can never save a betta, the stores will always replace the betta within the week

I have my betta fish with a bunch of male guppies and there all good. Guess it all depends on how chill the betta is.

"Can Betta Fish Live in a Community Tank?" The question in my situation is, Can Community Fish live with a Betta?

AntivirusFire - 7 years ago

I think that betta is sick... looks ruined.

Forever and ever I swear! - 7 years ago

A bigger tank will also help. My giant betta seldom pick on my gourami after i changed to a larger tank..

Forever and ever I swear! - 7 years ago

I notice it depends on the bettas character. I have tried putting bettas with all sorts of fishes. Some will keep chasing other fishes, some just flare n some really bite. I also notice bettas in community tanks dont eat much. Think its bcos of the entertaiment it has..

Carol Sorola - 7 years ago

I have an aquarium full of fish in my living room and I recently just adopted a betta fish so I could have in my room but I feel like he's lonely): so I'm thinking if I should put him in the aquarium with the rest of the other fishes so he won't be lonely

HolyHails - 7 years ago

Carol Sorola Gotta try it out for just a day or two and see how it goes. :)

kitty136 lol - 7 years ago

my betta is kinda boring he only stays in one spot and is kinda lonly to soo its cuz he killed my goldfish kinda hate him by doing that but he wont die like its been a 3 years -_-

Bob J-M Gervais - 7 years ago

Betas are like goldfish in the sens that both can live in a community, but their is some risk to it. first, analysing the beta or the goldfish is a most, as the personnality of the fish will greatly influence the possibility of having him in a community or not. for a goldfish, if he lived most of is live in a specie tank only and he have reach a descent size already, chances are that he might eat the other fish, specially if they can fit in is mouth...the trick is to get them very young so they are small and can quickly learn to live with tankmates. the second step is to make a lot of hiding place and to brake the vision fild of the fish by adding a lot of plants and cave. if the betta/goldfish decide to bully or get bully, you have to get sure that the other fish can hide and have a safe spot. the 3 step is to make a lot of reasearch and to find some pacific fish that are faster then the betta/goldfish and won't finenipe him. best option is to have schooling fish, because it is far easier to targer one fish then a school of them... 4 step is to make sure that the temperature/condition are good for both fish and it's best to choose a fish that don't swim in the same water area. A lot of people think that goldfish can only be kept in a specie only, but guess what? mine are living with danios, corydoras, dojo loaches, they have live in harmony with minnows and now they also live with siamese algea eater (I don't recomand siamese algea eaters simply because they prefer tropical water, but they are doing okay so far...).., morale of the story is : if you know what you are doing, you know your fish, you have done the reaserch and you have a backup plan, why don't you try it and if it dosen't work, simply just act quicly. Both goldfish and betas are awsome in community tank, as long as you know how to handle the risks.

I just got a female Dalmatian Molly fish today and I was wondering if my male Betta would be able to go with her, I don't want to put them together with knowing if something bad will happen, please answer back, thanks!

mp equestrian - 7 years ago

HolyHails Ok thanks!

HolyHails - 7 years ago

Maegan And Dorothy Hey! Here's what I would do: Place the bag/container in your tank with the Molly and let them see each other. You can buy one of those little breeder containers too and just watch how it goes. If it doesn't work out, you can more than likely bring it back to the store or give it to a friend!

RaptorPlayzGames RPG - 7 years ago

Do you even know how to. Take care of YOUR OTHER FISH those other fish are in such horrible living conditions 1. That Cory needs at least a 20 gallon tank and you have to have at least 5 of them (Prefferably the same species) 2. That silver hatchet fish needs to have a school of atleast 5 3. The Harlequin/Porkchop rasbora needs again atleast 5 of them I say get a 20 gallon and get 5 Corys 5 rasboras and 5 hatchets

HolyHails - 7 years ago

RaptorPlayzGames RPG Yep, this was my first tank and mistakes were for sure made.

Sam Sweets - 7 years ago

For people wanting to put a betta in a community tank, here's a couple tips. Stick with fish that aren't brightly colored, your betta will be way less likely to attack. Also, 10 gallon is the absolute minimum if you're going to be housing them with other fish. Lastly, when in the store, pick a couple that you like. Then put the bettas of you choice next to eachother, and take the one that doesn't flare or acts aggressive upon seeing the other fish. This one will be the most likely to not go after other fish.

Keng Yang - 7 years ago

The pet smart Bettas are peaceful. They're not aggressive. If you buy it from an Asian betta store though, different story. They're bred to be aggressive and fight. The ones at petsmart aren't.

David Apodaca - 7 years ago

This is bad for betas. They shouldn't be in a tank with a lot of current and it looks like he's fighting to stay in one spot

Vincent Guzman - 7 years ago

What if I have a paradise gourami. Will that cause problems

HolyHails - 7 years ago

Vincent Guzman Wouldn't think so. Those guys are generally pretty good about staying away from other fish.

how about goldfish? i got 3 maybe 3-4" gold fish and im looking to condenced the 2 tanks

Oceanti - 7 years ago

The whole you can't keep guppies with bettas isn't true. On some occasions though they will be to aggressive. I have had one bettas too aggressive to be with guppies but I've kept many with guppies before.

ROSEMARY AFFAYA - 7 years ago

I just bought a betta fish and was told not put him with other fish,but I did and they all seem fine.

Ferret JAcK - 7 years ago

He is still a handsome Betta. I just got a girl a few weeks ago. And for some reason the other fish died off due to, I have not clue. But my Betta and African Dwarf Frog are going strong. So I might see about testing Mystic the Betta out with other fish then Tetras.

Tianna Violette - 8 years ago

So I got two three gallon tanks for my birthday and my dad wants to get me some Bettas but i have guppies, if I put one guppy in a tank with one Betta will she survive?

I also have plenty of plants for the tank that the guppies could hide in, a filter and all that jazz. I feel like it would be okay but id like a second opinion

Harry Hunter - 7 years ago

5 gallons is the minimum

Madison Erickson - 8 years ago

3 gallons is about the mnimum for a betta alone. guppies should have at least tn gallons, so no:(

What kind of fish is that with the bass like stripe going down its side?

i Derp - 8 years ago

I always have Bettas in my 30 gal community tank, a male and a female. I have yet to have any problems -- they live long healthy lives and are full of vitality. It's good to have lots of natural plants at a high density so they can hide and relax. In my experience, they don't fight the other fish unless the fish look "Betta-like"... they tend to mind their own business.

lil sneaks - 8 years ago

do you sell your betta and your fish tanck

Mike Hawk - 8 years ago

I actually have a Betta fish just got her today and I have wanted to know if I could put another fish in her bowl

Kitsune DesertPunk - 8 years ago

No. 1 Inch per-gallon. Get a tank lol

Alissa Michaela - 8 years ago

No, that bowl is too small for the betta, never mind another fish

rodgify - 8 years ago

Nice tank you have there mate, My only concern is that, the other fish you have can nip the fins of the betta, because it is a slow swimmer. Tetras,Guppies Are one of the top fin nippers.

Now for the bettas to get experimented if they will harm other fish or not. Honestly (in my experience) it depends on the personality of your betta. And you're right, Tank size and hiding spots are major factor to have a peaceful community tank.

CarlsCommentary - 8 years ago

Hey man, my beta fish is really lethargic, I have a plant and a filter on him 24/7, but idk what's up, I feed him when necessary but idk why to do help

Bluewind Dream - 8 years ago

I'm soon planning on getting a Betta fish, this will be my first tank. Is putting him or her with Neon Tetras a good idea when I get the tank?

Bluewind Dream - 8 years ago

They should do perfectly fine, however you can move the Betta of problems arise. But otherwise, good luck! :)

Tammy Che - 8 years ago

Bluewind Dream I just bought a beta and I have neon tetras so they will probably turn out fine

Bluewind Dream - 8 years ago

+Malas Wolf I have a 5.5 gallon for two Rasboras, two neon tetra and the Betta. Sadly the ghost shrimp passed away, as they do not last more than a few weeks. (People said to get them as food for the Betta, however mine accepted them in the tank and had left them alone for awhile, never going to attack them.)

Rynn Tinn - 8 years ago

Bluewind Dream Hey, just wondering what size tank you have? (I want a betta and neons too)

Bluewind Dream - 8 years ago

I just got them yesterday! They get along amazingly! Neon Tetras, Ghost Shrimp and Rasboras, my little Artemis is one happy Betta! :)

HolyHails - 8 years ago

Good luck dude!

Bluewind Dream - 8 years ago

Awesome! So thankful, I just got the tank today and I'm getting the fish tomorrow, thank you for the quick reply! ^^

HolyHails - 8 years ago

Perfectly okay!

Vcvc16 - 8 years ago

can I put 7 neon tetras (one of them look really small) and 3 Guppies (they don't look anything like Bettas) and 3 adult ghost shrimp?

Vcvc16 - 8 years ago

+HolyHails he started chasing them for a sec and then minded his own business D: I took him out because I thought he was going to murder my fish :( Should I put him back?

Vcvc16 - 8 years ago

+HolyHails OK thanks :)

HolyHails - 8 years ago

Yeah man, just give it a try. Just watch them for a bit.

Mayra Rodriguez - 8 years ago

did you have a filter in the tank?

Mayra Rodriguez - 8 years ago

That's probably why he didn't move as much. I had a filter on my tank but my fish would always try to hide underneath it or just stay in the middle of the tank and not move. It wasn't until the day I noticed that the filter kept throwing him around that I decided to take it off. Now he's all over the place!! I do see that you have other fish that need it so it's really a give and take situation. =(

HolyHails - 8 years ago

Of course.

Connor Cole - 8 years ago

Can they live in a 10 gallon with glofish

Morgan Hanson - 8 years ago

I have four female betta fish with one male. The male and one of the females really get along great and swim together all day but do not chase each other or actually touch one another. They are in a 40 gallon tank and have lots of silk plants and hiding places. I think having the ability to get away and having lots of room makes a difference. They are so happy and thriving. So glad to get them out of the tiny plastic tubs from petco

kaya sabbatini - 8 years ago

I LOVE THIS. Every time I went to Petsmart there was this awesome male betta that was staring me down and eventually I broke down and brought him home. He lives with a cory catfish and two mollies and they all love each other. Sometimes he'll chase them but he's pretty slow because he doesnt know how to swim too well.... At one point all the other fish in the tank got sick and died and he looked SO lonely so we bought him some new friends. He could never be an only child (unlike one of my female bettas in another tank. She's vicious and will kill other fish). Also, I sing to my fish and we can tell what kinds of music they like based on how much they wiggle and blow bubbles. My male betta likes ska, rap, and deathcore. Bless him.

mysister&i show - 8 years ago

we're going to be out for a month and i think in that time my 3 bettas could die so i was thinking in moving each to a different bigger tank 2 of the tanks are 25 gallon and the other one is 55 gallon each tank has 4-5 small fish do you think my bettas will be fine?? also have a 10 gallon that i was using as quarantine but is has been without fish for more than a month but still running (didn't wanna lost the cicle)

Violet Taylor - 8 years ago

I have a male betta in a 40 gal with 5 female bettas, a 6 or 7 inch pleco, zebra danios, glo fish danios, platies, mollies, cory cats, and snails. The only problems I've ever really had with keeping bettas with other fish is one female is slightly aggressive, and the male that is currently in my tank is a little mean to the platies, but other than that I've had no issues keeping these fish.

Luna harmony 1987 - 8 years ago

I like to see fish swimming.... not that much of crabs walking.... also they aren't as friendly as a fish..... you can pet a fish! Crabs usually won't allow you to pet them.

Luna harmony 1987 - 8 years ago

That's great! Bettas are the easiest fish to take care of..... I'm not that much of a crab person cause they are like a goldfish.... need lots of space! But it could also depend on what kind..... ever try to find out? I could help if I knew what it looked like.... how big is the tank? Does it have a filter and a heater? Perfect decorations that allow them to hide if they want to? That's what I would like to know.... and how long have you been keeping fish? Are you trying to get a different fish? If you are what kind of fish? (All of these questions don't need to be answered if you don't want to)

NEB Barnes - 8 years ago

I have a beta in my 10 gallon tank. I felt he was lonely so I bought 3 red eye tetras. I suggest don't getting them, they are always nipping at each other. I am sure they probably do Chets fins too. Have yet to see it happen and they have been together now for 4 weeks. I have lots of fake plants along with 2 buildings where he can hide. I also have a floating plant attached to the top corner so that he can make his bubble nest. Which he has now done. I have seen him chase the tetras away if they get too close but for the most part they are pretty good together. My other 10 gallon tank has a half moon beta but he is in the hospital tank right now because I had fake plants which ripped a good gash from the top of his fin. He is getting better now and I have replaced every plant with real plants and put a smooth rock with a smooth entrance to a cave. He will love it when he gets back in there. His tank has 3 penguin tetras and a cory. Unfortunately the tetras just hide. Well, 2 of them do, I think they are mates. The third one is all alone kicked out of the group. I think I will have to get one more penguin tetra so that he can have a buddy. Thinking of adding maybe 2 more of something else too. Not sure.

Anilese Peterson - 8 years ago

+NEB Barnes tetras should be in a group of at least 5-6 because they are schooling fish. they are hiding because they may be stressed. add a few more tetras and you should be fine.

+HolyHails or you can have a small but really planted and lost of places to hide when they get tired of each other

HolyHails - 8 years ago

Yeah, that's a lot of room.

Slinkylabcat - 8 years ago

My sister and I bred 'em for a while, never made a dollar. That aside, it's my opinion that male S. Fighters hate everything except their own offspring. So no, they prob'ly don't do well in a community tank (at least 72 degrees F).

Master Of Awesomness - 9 years ago

Should I feed my Betta fish blood worms

HolyHails - 8 years ago

Yes.

Holly Anthony - 9 years ago

Please get sand for your corys. It's so much better for them because it allows them to burrow through the sand to find food. The sharp edges of gravel files down their barbells!! Trust me you'll notice the difference in them !! :(

HolyHails - 9 years ago

Thank you! I will.

smilan21 - 9 years ago

i have quality shrimp food for my betta, but he never comes to the surface to eat..and as a result other fish end up eating the shrimp. How can i ensure he eats them??

I would use Bloodworms. Don't think Betta's eat shrimp in the wild.

smokey bear - 9 years ago

hi HolyHails i am wondering do the glofish need the filtration system or not and what types of fish do you recommend to put in the tank??

HolyHails - 9 years ago

I think all fish should need a filter, but you can do a water change everyday if you don't have a filter. You can put whatever fish you want in your tank, you just have to do research on which ones work with what.

Jamie L - 9 years ago

What songs did you sing?

pHAro BxB - 9 years ago

What about when you feed them ???do all the fish in your tank eat the same food ? And do they fight for the food?

Susan M. - 9 years ago

Thanks for the vid :-) After watching this yesterday, the hubs and I decided to take the plunge and buy a betta for our community tank. We have been going back and forth about adding a betta for a few days. So far, no signs of aggression towards the resident platys.

Hes been with me 3 years now! I dont dare put him in the aquarium just in case. Now I know that I should try it, since there isnt a definitive answer.)

Andres Frischeisen - 9 years ago

You actually can have bettas with guppies and it's perhaps the best fish you can have them with because they (guppies) are so fast

I think its good to have onw dominate female because She streightens up all the fish. She might nip. But leave them alone it takes time to get them to get to know eachother. the dominate female also can prevent the other fish from fighting :) Just be careful and take her out if she gets too much power

Linda Ossana - 9 years ago

what fish do you have in your tank with the betta?

randomchewy95 - 9 years ago

I took a HUGE gamble with my community tank. I've always wanted a community betta. I have a 20 gallon long with guppies, platies, cories, two paradise gouramis, and a few other catfish. A few reasons why I risked it: my flashiest fish in the entire tank is a lone male platy that keeps to himself since the females ignore and reject him; my male and female paradise gouramis never became colorful (they were always dull and I suspect came from a bad breeder - my male has a spinal deformity and is unable to swim for too long so he rests in my plants for the most part); and all of my guppies are female and have little to no coloration. I knew a flashy (and most likely aggressive) male betta would come to a disastrous end, so I considered a female. I decided that I would try a female since they're typically more docile and have also been known to live well in "sororities" with other female bettas. I also decided that I would NOT get a betta for my community tank if it was in one of those tiny crappy cups where you can't properly observe their behavior. One amazing fish store had a tank full of six female bettas and a ton of other schooling fish. I fell in love with three of them. The three were all very timid for bettas and had some subtle coloring (one black to steel/navy blue, one dark purple, and one muddy red). I took them home, released them after an extended time acclimating. They've ended up being some of the most docile fish in the entire tank. My gouramis have not hurt any of them, but my female gourami will follow them on occasion. I took a huge gamble and it paid off, but I do not recommend trying this just to try it. If anything went wrong, I had multiple backup tanks including a spare 10 gallon that I could separate them into.

Maddy Brianna - 9 years ago

I got a goldfish one time that bit off the tails and parts of fins on my other fish. He had to go live by himself in another tank and I was stuck with a bunch of handicapped fish. I hate goldfish.

Emmit Stewart - 9 years ago

Except for other anabantids, Bettas are not aggressive to other fish. The problem is that fin nippers can make life miserable for them. I have been keeping Betts in community tanks since 1960. In my experience they tend to be rather retiring, and seldom make as good a show as when they have their own small tank alone.
He won't eat your goldfish, but he should not be in the same tank with them because they are cold water fish and he is tropical.

Chris B - 9 years ago

Shoot I have Guppies. I have a Blue Veil Tail Betta Fish and he seems to be OK with the Guppies but he is aggressive towards the Gouramis, the Long Fin Red Minor Tetras, and the Swordtail, but I want to put him in the aquarium so bad, what should I do?

AnimalLover - 9 years ago

+HolyHails
He has gotten better with the Tetras and the Swordtail but not much of improvement with the Gouramis. He tries to attack the Gouramis but the Gouramis are much faster so I'm not to worried he will be able to catch them.

HolyHails - 9 years ago

You'll just have to do a trail run. Set him in there for a good week and just watch when you can. Generally, the other fish are much faster than him/her.

Yilmaz Sahinkaya - 9 years ago

what kind of filter do you have. i heard bettas dont like too much current, but the other fish need oxygen. i have a 30 gallon long. i just have one filter. cascade 100 for up to 20 gallon. if i want to put other fish in there do i need more filtration?

Tristan Horner - 9 years ago

I have the top fin 20 filter myself. It's a little loud and yes you're correct. Bettas have a hard time swimming against a heavy current so I keep the filter turned downed to the lowest setting.

Kyle Cushway - 9 years ago

It was average on noise. I didn't lose any fish in the intake as it comes with a guard for the end. I have since gone with the Marineland Biowheel, the one for 30G tanks. It's much less noisy and does a better job. It was $45 but, it was a good investment.

Yilmaz Sahinkaya - 9 years ago

is the top fin noisy? this cascade and aqua clear i used to have is heck of noisy. also do any fish get sucked into the intake. lost a few neons. sorry for so many questions. you have nice tank.

HolyHails - 9 years ago

I had a TopFin 20, for 20 gallon tanks. I do feel more filtration is better, as my tank was overstocked I went with a 20G filter instead of a 10G one. They don't like currents too rough, but they always seem to find a spot in the tank where there isn't current. You can always try to aim the flow the short way, so the current is cut off faster. Just try different angles or find a filter where the current isn't as much. ;)

Joseph Luis M.V - 9 years ago

My betta tank mate are cory cats and nerite snail. And never have a problem.
One thing i notice coz i have my betta for six months and when i put the corry cats he thinks hes one of them. He do what cory cats do scavanging food lol. And he follow them always as if hes a schooling fish ahaha.

Do you fed all of them with the same food?

HolyHails - 9 years ago

Not usually. I use freeze dried bloodworms for the more carnivorous fish and I have veggie pellets for fish which need that. Also, once in a while I give them frozen food. I think it's much healthier for them and adds to their color.

Sure your betta CAN live with other fish, but does it enjoy it? that is the question.

I have a few female guppies, a couple female platys, and a dwarf gourami, I've done my research and found that bettas are usually okay with the female guppies (cause their tails aren't very long) and usually ignore platys but every site I went on strongly recommended not putting gouramis with bettas cause they're both "aggressive" fish. Well my gourami is probably the laziest fish I've ever seen and if anything he gets pushed around by the other fish even though he's much larger, so.... >o> do you think I should get a betta? if all else fails I can put him in a spare tank I have and put him in my room >.>

HolyHails - 10 years ago

Haha, exactly! Getting new fish is the best.

Brianna Harter - 10 years ago

guppies aren't good to keep with bettas.not cause they are similar but they will often attack the bettas fins and either the guppies will kill the betta or the bettas kills the guppies.don't keep fin nippers with bettas or other aggressive fish.just so long as it's a peaceful fish bettas can get along with it.

My friend has this combo and they do great! the only issue you might have is that neons might nip fins, but since you have a school they should be okay.

when I was little I cryed sooooooo much when my betta died XD

zero67439 - 10 years ago

go rescue a betta fish and try it yourself

Chelle S - 10 years ago

LMAO that made me laugh hahaha, Anyway, glad to see your Betta fish is doing ok.

Maero M - 10 years ago

Looks to me like he's actually being more aggressive to his own reflection :p

altondr - 10 years ago

i have female and male betta in my community tank.....other fishes i have like glowing eye tetra sunburst platty red swag(?) molly... so far so good....wonder what will happenned tomorrow morning......hope noone get hurt.....lol.

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+Kevin Peterson Not necessarily, if it happened to u doesn't mean it will happen to anyone else. All fish are different, and many ppl have kept them togehter anyway

altondr - 10 years ago

+Kevin Peterson nope they go along well and the rests...... i noticed the female loves to dig under the rocks.... sometime i saw her under the rocks thought she is dead. i removed the rocks and she swim right away after i got her free. also saw all of my fishes swim all together many times. glad the male betta is not that aggressive.

Kevin Peterson - 10 years ago

Your female and male will eventually fight and one or both will probably die.

Thanks for the advice. Very helpful.

What are the pink and yellow fish called?

HolyHails - 10 years ago

They're called GloFish. They're like a genetically made fish based off ofBlack Skirt Tetras I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, they're just made to look pretty under special kinds of lights.

littletinychloe123 - 10 years ago

dont use a net to catch ur betta fish it can ruin their fins

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+Brianna Harter That's the same for any fish lol

Brianna Harter - 10 years ago

don't use a net if you don't know how to use it right.I've seen many people go to fast and scare the fish and just pin them on the side of the tank.

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

Nets are fine

Jass Jake - 10 years ago

+littletinychloe123
Well, that depends on the environment and the attitude of the betta fish. If the betta fish is calm enough, he can be caught in the net just fine.

littletinychloe123 - 10 years ago

i learned the hard way trust me :)

HolyHails - 10 years ago

I'll remember that. ;)

Alex Cerritos - 10 years ago

No worries man I already rescued a betta :)

Joshua Small - 10 years ago

can you mix them with clown fish

HolyHails - 10 years ago

Nope. These are fresh water fish only. :(

tippy nguyen - 10 years ago

lol yes its always fun to get new fish but its sad when a fish die

Jessica Seagle - 10 years ago

nice vid! I just successfully rescued and added a betta (since named khoshekh) to my community tank of tetras. Aside from some initial flaring, everyone is doing fantastic. Now he no longer has to live in his tiny bowl, and I have a prettier and more interesting tank. win win.

FlexedOut - 10 years ago

Hahaha great vid man. Isis the same thing one time. He was the last beta at walmart and I had to save him. Came home, put him in my community tank. Never had any problems with em.

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

Ive had my 2 betta fish in a 10 gallon with other goldfish. They havent fought for 8 months, and beleive it or not. Not one Death!!!

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+PeteOG Just get the tank size they need once the fully grown from the start. Then u won't need to stress them by moving and u want waste money buying more tanks

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

my goldfish are 5 inches long and my pleco is also 5 inches. They keep going tho!
Pretty soon i will have to expand my tank again

Brianna Harter - 10 years ago

+PeteOG
how big are they now(if you don't keep expanding the tank they'll stunt and die).

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

mines currently getting pretty big. I dont know how big they get but i do know when you expand the size of your tank, it gives the fish an opportunity to get bigger

Brianna Harter - 10 years ago

+PeteOG
do you know how big pleco and goldfish get?most pleco get a foot long and at a certain age they attack other fish to eat their slim coat(they only eat alge when young) and gold fish depending on what kind you have (single tail or double tail) can get any where from 6 inches to 15 inches.did you do your research before going out and getting fish and if so did you think?

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

the pleco sucker fish.

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

What do u mean cleaning fish? What species?

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

i have 7 goldfish and 3 cleaning fish and a betta

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+PeteOG a 10g is too small for a goldfish anyway

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

hasnt seemed to be the problem yet. not one death and i used to have a 10 gallon but upgraded to a 20 gallon

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

Yes, but assuming u kept a betta with goldfish even in a 100 gallon, the goldfish would still grow to big to house with a betta

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+Jen Jung Goldfish dont need massive filtration, a normal filter will do. And if the tank is heavily planted or has normal filtration it wont cause too much current.

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+Ebonyfox2 It could have been 2 females, or one male and a female

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+David Micklow Its not the temperature, its the size difference. How do you think people in warm countries keep goldfish in ponds?

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

to be honest, i have no clue. i bought them both from different stores and when i first got home, i had them in seperate tanks. when i finnaly decided to put them together, i started off with only one first. The first beta got used to my gold fish and wasnt showing aggression towards them. After a day, i put my 2nd beta in a see-through container in the tank, so he can see the other fish. After 30 minutes i released him. They haven't fought nor attacked eachother or any other fish. There fins have grown beautifuly and are not damaged.

Ebonyfox2 - 10 years ago

Wait you have TWO beta fish in the same tank and they haven't killed each other? How the heck did you manage that?! Have you noticed any damage tot their fins or anything?

ItsYaBoyPETE - 10 years ago

i keep the water at a constant warm temperature. Sometimes the water cools alil.
The fish have been happy like this for all this time. No sicknesses or death's

David Cavalari - 10 years ago

You shouldn't keep Bettas with Goldfish. Goldfish are cold water fish and Bettas are tropical, warm water fish.

IMAGyne Betta - 10 years ago

That voice thoo Lol

Sonny Clark - 10 years ago

so you can have 4 females in a 10 gallon tank right?

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

Most likely, but every fish is different

HolyHails - 10 years ago

Yeah that would be just fine. ;)

Austin Nichols - 10 years ago

kyle i was dieing!!!

Austin Nichols - 10 years ago

+Cppodcast-Road to 10k sabs no! "dieing" as in "tool and die"

Radiant Penguin - 10 years ago

*dying

Nathan Bollom - 10 years ago

Thanks man I needed that, but aren't all fish worthless I mean you can't eat them nor resell them and if you do your not really banking then, oh we'll just a thought in my head thanks for the vid man

VARGAS ALVAREZ CARLOS ALBERTO - 10 years ago

I hae my betta with two garra rufas and he is very lovely and happy, I have no worries about fightings and whatsover.... We share the same story...

Karen Anne Thom - 10 years ago

Fabulous story - you gave him a Betta life :)

HolyHails - 7 years ago

L3GENDS 0F B0SS7 3 Unfortunately I no longer live in that apartment and I had to give my fish to family members. He died before I moved. But, no worries, new fish for me!

L3GENDS 0F B0SS - 7 years ago

HolyHails is he alive still?

HolyHails - 10 years ago

Haha, I sure did. He's still alive and well. ;)

festdir - 10 years ago

Guppies are fine with Bettas for two reasons:
1) Guppies are faster & so long as there is some cover, the Betta will forget about the Guppy once he's out of sight.
2) Guppies breed fast. So long as you have a breeding population, they will replace their numbers. OTSS Only the strong survive.

Trevor - 10 years ago

Faith Weaver - 10 years ago

as a child we always had tanks with multiple fish types. The #1 pic for us was one male betta. We never had a community tank without a male beta and bala sharks.

Joshua Borges - 10 years ago

Good job.

Za Orange Frog - 10 years ago

that was awesome

FireStar_Betta - 10 years ago

Im glad im not the only one that feels sorry for betta fish in the tiny little bowls....I just bought a baby and introduced him to my 27gal community tank, he has no clue how to handle himself in a large tank and cant swim in the current(from the filter) but he hasnt attacked anyone and infact was scared of my tetra lol

Erick af - 10 years ago

I have 2 female betta fish in 1 tank and they like eachother! :D

Raffi Jefri - 10 years ago

Beta fish can live with other fish in community tank..but make sure there is no baby fish inside the tank or otherwise it consume it as its food...

Ben AndTheBunns - 10 years ago

I have two female bettas in my community tank

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

+holyhailss Its only a sorority if the female bettas are the only fish there :)

Jennifer Loma - 10 years ago

+Ben AndTheBunns
Its a sorority. I have a sorority but my largest female doesnt seem to like dark colored veiltails.

Ben AndTheBunns - 10 years ago

i dont know? i think its called community, but you may be right :)

HolyHails - 10 years ago

Is that called a sorority?

craigathonian - 10 years ago

I've had Bettas,male and females in a 35 gal. community tank for years. The trick is nothing small that look's like food and nothing that has nipping habits like zebra danios. Even the guppies were fine! Each fish has thier own personality, they cold be the biggest grump or the nicest peaceful angel...they are all different. The females can be meaner than some males. So just have fun and learn each fish's individual personality...which in a community tank really blossoms!

Betta Boy - 11 years ago

Thanks I'm probably going to get one now. The only reason I didn't get one earlier was because petco said that the hatchet fish would kill the betta

HolyHails - 11 years ago

Nope. My Hatchet is the most relaxed one in my tank. Once in awhile the Betta flares up at him, but that's just because my tank is overstocked.

Betta Boy - 11 years ago

Do your hatchet fish chase him

Sue Demiralay - 11 years ago

The anser is no bettas like to be alone

HolyHails - 11 years ago

Discus too? They don't bother him?

Michael Rushton - 11 years ago

I have had my betta in my community tank for 2 years gets on fine hes in with tetra and discus fish atm :)

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

yep I always like to spread the information I have learned

HolyHails - 11 years ago

Thanks for the info. ;)

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

It really depends on the bettas personality, but don't put them with large fish, male guppies or aggressive fish like gourami's, I agree with what you said in your video, just adding a little of my knowledge to it.
