Can I have a snail In a 3.5 gal with my betta? EDIT: nevermind you just answered my question

t0peka - 6 years ago

I'm getting a 9 gallon soon that I am going to be putting my Betta in along with a Bristlenoes Pleco, and a few Cory cats. How many corys do u recommend? If I can do five I will, but I was hoping for 4, do u think that will over crowd the tank or not and do u think I could get away with just four? Thankyou.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

The only Cory cats that can go in a 10 gallon tank are Pygmy Cory’s, the rest get too big. A minimum of 4-5 is best.

Monte Phaengdara - 6 years ago

I'm planning on putting 2 male and 3 female Betta's in a 50 gallon aquarium, I plan on making the setting really grassy with lots of places to hide, think it would be ok. I already have 2 males, 1 in a 10 gallon the other in a 2 gallon.

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

I would not advise anybody to keep males and females together. At worst they will kill each other and at best they will live in constant stress which eventually lowers their immune system making them more susceptible to getting sick.

ZaroyGaming - 6 years ago

does ghost shrimp is good mate ?

ZaroyGaming - 6 years ago

ouhh

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Not really they usually eat shrimp.

Johan Videomaker - 6 years ago

I have a question I want ro put mh betta fiah in my tank but i want to know how would he eat like if it goes all the wau to the bottom becuz i give my other fish flakes ? So, would my betta die :/ because I dont want that to happen

Ivan C - 6 years ago

My beta is crazy all over the place very active had 3 amano shrimp ,beta made one jump to his death, 2 still remain with 2 asasin snells and 4 apple baby snells that came in with the plants . Love your channel very insightful wish i would of found it before i got some of these bettas lol cheers from the westcoast

Flug Zeug - 6 years ago

My elephant ear female named Nova is very fast and energetic, but she is also defensive of her tank. Nova is feisty, and I think she would act like a bully in a community. I wanted to do a sorrority when I get a bigger tank, but I gave up on that idea really quick

Emily Chamberlain - 7 years ago

Could I have a beta and otocinclus in a 10 gallon planted tank?

rocky5fp - 7 years ago

Hey all. I'm starting to buy things for my first ever Betta tank, but I want to add shrimp to the tank can this be done? Also, are they're any Betta communities I can join to talk to like minded hobbiest? Thanks. And I love your videos.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Bettas will usually eat shrimp, however if the tank is extremely heavily planted you may get away with it. There are several groups on Facebook and Instagram.

hahayourfunny94 - 7 years ago

I have a 9 gallon. Can I add tank mates? I know its not a 10 but...

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Snails or nano fish as long as the tank is planted enough.

Salvo Smith - 7 years ago

My female betta lives very peacefully with 10 female guppies . Never an aggression , never a problem . They eat together . She is very peaceful girl .

Bossray Twotiimes - 7 years ago

Currently have my betta in a tank with zebra danios and a variety of corydoras.... mine is quite interesting he seems to like current for some reason no other betta I have had has lol whenever I do a water change it ALWAYS runs against the current/flow the water change is causing he's uber active now since I turned the flow up slightly bettas are very interesting but he took the cake for me

Seany Wonton - 7 years ago

how about guppies?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Guppies can sometimes live with Bettas especially the females but sometimes the males don’t do well because they’re so colorful. A lot depends on the individual Betta.

Nikos Ozmorio - 7 years ago

I use to have 2 Platys in my tank a few days later one died from being sucked up against the impeller than later on I got a crown tail betta female at first the betta was very skittish hid for the first 2 weeks after a while it was finally swimming in my tank with the one platy I had and after about 1 month I use to always watch my fish I notice my betta would nip at my platy a few times then back off. I always thought they were playing so didnt think anything of it. Some time goes by and betta keeps nipping at it few times then backs off. Sometimes the betta would chase it around the tank. After about 3 months the platy is dead it was curled up at the bottom. The betta must of killed it. So then I tried a catfish it swam in my tank like crazy then died the next day. I think my tank was too small. Next I got a guarami it did well with the betta until one day my betta disappears from my tank my guess it was probably hiding again so then I started doing feeding and betta does not come out. So I guess it wasnt hungry only guarami was. It hid it the barrel for weeks and haven't seen it for a while so I thought maybe it died. So then before I know it the guarami dies and I have no more fish in the tank. At the time I was young and didnt know about fish too much and actually I put tap water with no heater in my tank. So my fish didnt survive for very long. After a while I was too lazy to drain my tank so I let it evaporate a little bit until one day I finally see my betta I was so shocked so I fed it right away and it ate like crazy so I put my water in there with some condition for the tap. A friend told me it would help water quality. So I decided to leave my betta by himself after about 2 years he died.
So now you know bettas cant live with platys.....well atleast mine couldn't. My betta liked hiding. Good luck with your tanks my friends.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I’m sorry for your losses. It sounds like you tank was too small.
Platys are very common tank mates for bettas, all mine have done well with them. Gouramis and bettas are not at all compatible the gouramis will bully Bettas.

Adri GG - 7 years ago

I have a 7.9 gallon tank is that good to get a betta and a few littel fish?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

A great size for a Betta but I wouldn’t add other fish but maybe a snail or two.

kittenjewel101 - 7 years ago

Ive only had guppies and actually the guppies were for sure Kore aggressive than that poor little betta

Mihir Payel - 7 years ago

Vic Ojay - 7 years ago

My betta lives with a guppie,platy , and black molly it's weird because mollies were not mentioned in your video lol

Vic Ojay - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets Thank

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Mollies are not typically recommend to live with bettas, however that doesn’t mean it can’t work out.

Detra Isham - 7 years ago

I got a goldfish from the fair and it was about the same size as my betta in just a ten gallon. The goldfish died. It was a terrible decision. Please don't hate on me for that.

Detra Isham - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets thx.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

We all make mistakes:)

tmnt kid - 7 years ago

I have a 5 gallon tank and a red veil tail beta. And I seen neon tetras in a 5 gal. tank on posts, is it possible if I have at least 2 tetras in a 5 gal?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I wouldn’t, the tank is too small. Also neons need to be in groups of at least 6.

Lydia Stinson - 7 years ago

Just love the way you explain things

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you!

IT TASTIC - 7 years ago

i just got two corys! i was so scared for my little albino one because my betta was beginning to nip at the poor fella but he stopped doing that after a while- might get more corys so they can be happy

Sweaty Cankles - 7 years ago

I have a 5 gallon tank with a betta and two corydoras. Could I have anything else? Such as tetras, frogs, crabs.

Sweaty Cankles - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets would shrimp work?

Sweaty Cankles - 7 years ago

They are sterbai Cory and I got baby ones. Are you sure I can't add anything?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I would not add anything else. The tank is already overstocked. Corys ideally need to be in groups of five or more and unless they are Pygmy corys then they will get to big for the tank.

Matthew Zito - 7 years ago

I was a little surprised to see Denisons Barbs with a Betta in the tank behind you.

I've kept Bettas with Neon Tetras, Bristlenose and Clown Plecos, Cory Catfish and African Dwarf Frogs.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, we had 5 female bettas in the tank with them. No issues at all. They're not a fish I would recommend unless the tank is 55 gallons or more.

Sakura_is_a_useless_ character - 7 years ago

I keep platys one gourami a bristle nose Pleco and tetra's with my betta fish

chlobeth Australia - 7 years ago

I had zebra danios with my Betta

FabFish - 7 years ago

can you give me a shoutout

Makayla Topilko - 7 years ago

can i put shrimp in five gallons

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes.

The Budget Aquarist - 7 years ago

Bettas are like people....some will get along well with a variety of others, and some won't get along with anything at all. Experimentation is often the only way to determine if 2 fish are compatible. Just be prepared to move quickly to get a fish into a safe tank if it is being abused. I have bettas in tanks with all sorts of fish that they supposedly don't like. Experiment...safely!!

Dylan _17144 - 7 years ago

I am getting a betta soon and I might get ghost shrimp before I get the betta do I have to take the shrimp out when I get the betta? And put them all together?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Bettas do not usually do well with shrimp. They tend to eat them.

My Cup of Tea - 7 years ago

Bristlenose plecos are also on the smaller side of plecos. They get to be 6 inches.

Barbara Viklen - 7 years ago

I have kept betta's for over 25 years now and my favourite betta tank was tetras and betta and at the moment I have my Betta in with clouded minnows. I have also housed my betta in with guppies with no problems .... I did try having my betta in with my mollies. This was not successful as the mollies bullied my betta and I had to move him out.

Monica Starr - 7 years ago

I'm just starting out with my first fish in YEARS (since I was very young). I really enjoy the step-by-step in all the processes of setting up a new tank as well as introducing a betta. So thank you so much for making this series. =)

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you.

Kendall's Critters! Official stop copying - 7 years ago

Why not mollies?

Kendall's Critters! Official stop copying - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets Yes, but it also depends on the Mollies I suppose

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

If it works for you, then that's all that matters.

Kendall's Critters! Official stop copying - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets I haven't had any problems. Also people recommended them so my betta would be more interested in them instead of its tail

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Mollies can be nippy as they mature, also they prefer slightly brackish water.

BluePhoenix1450 - 7 years ago

I have one male betta who will kill anything I put in his tank besides plants. He even killed a harmless snail once. So he lives alone. However, my other betta fish is doing really well in my 10 gallon tank with 6 neon tetras, and two african dwarf frogs. He likes his buddies, just not when they try and go for his food.

Restless Natives - 7 years ago

I've got a 2.5 gallon tank with a little crowntail betta, a tiny white cloud mountain minnow, a couple tiny snails, and I used to have a cherry shrimp but it vanished one day. :(
The betta seems happy and I've had him for roughly nine months now.

Restless Natives - 7 years ago

My crowntail is pretty peaceful and lived with the shrimp for several months before it disappeared. He could have eaten it though. My other betta is much more agressive and killed and ate two ghost shrimp as soon as I put them in the tank.

Patchwork The Dragon - 7 years ago

Restless Natives the betta probably ate the shrimp :P
My parents randomly bought me 3 ghost shrimp. I put them in the tank as soon as i got them only to see my marble Crowntail, Orion, gobble one of them up then proceeding to go after the other two. The next morning all i found was him snacking on one. Now he just lives with a gold dust Molly.

photaiplz - 7 years ago

sugargliderlove123 - 7 years ago

i agree with all of them but in my experience harlequin rasboras will nip at my male betta tail with females and plakats i have no problem but with example halfmoons, veiltail and other long tail types they nip at their fins in my experience

brian bernard - 7 years ago

danios,neon tetra,with my purple and red vailtail .his name is andy .they all live in a 20 tall

I have a blue and red female betta in a 10 gallon planted tank with 6 albino cory cats :) 3 of the corys are babies that I bred myself! Corys are just the best

styvie jusino - 7 years ago

Love the series! Very informative.

Louisa Roth - 7 years ago

I've had african dwarf frogs, snails, tetras and white cloud mountain minnows living with my betta. Not all at the same time obviously. l've also had guppies, which i know aren't recommended but, when i got my betta he was living with them. He is so gentle.

Great list! I tried some ghost shrimp with my male betta, didn't turn out well for the shrimp :( I've not tried any other companions with him.

Patchwork The Dragon - 7 years ago

Zoo at 113 yeah. Shrimp seem to be a favorite snack for most bettas.

Tabitha Baker - 7 years ago

Do you keep these fish with male betta fish or just female betta

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

You can keep them with either.

BunniesAndBubbles - 7 years ago

This was a very helpful video.Thanks for uploading this! I just uploaded a video unboxing a betta that I bought from creative pet keeping. If you have the time, maybe you should check it out!

Jessica Cook - 7 years ago

I have a female Betta. Her tank mates are Neon Tetras, Platies & Corys. The Tetras fight each other more than my female Betta annoys any of the other fish.

TheJibootyinfiresme - 7 years ago

I used tp have a 20 gal with a few guppies and mollies (which quickly multiplied) and my female betta was in a breeder box for a while and escaped! I came home to her greeting me with all these guppies, wasnt even bothered by them so.i just let her stay and she was happy! (She was a good fry level controller too XD)

Down the Worm Hole - 7 years ago

Wonderful! My kiddo wants to try snails with her betta :) she has a 10 gal now.

Anthony Ragan - 7 years ago

This is good advice on compatible fish, but the caveat that it depends on the individual betta can't be over-emphasized. I had a betta who seemed the most calm little guy in the world, but, when I added some panda corys, he decided they were the spawn of the devil and had to die.

Patchwork The Dragon - 7 years ago

Anthony Ragan some bettas can be decieving. Mine seems a perfectly fine with the 3 mollies i got, but on the 14th of October i found one of the mollies, Bubbles, dead. Yesterday morning i found Toast dead, but she didn't eat anything. They had no bites, no torn fins, they just seemed to have died right then and there. The remaining Molly is as big as Orion though, and she's pretty chubby and she seems healthy, so im not to worried. Orion does like his personal space, but he does let Star school with him for about 20 minutes before he turns psycho and rams his face into her tail.

TheFishesDishes 16 - 7 years ago

I have guppies with my bettas and I have a sorority and an apple snail in a 10 gallon I have 4 guppies and 3 bettas (who only fight on rare occasion) and I do water changes ATLEAST every week

Rita Isabel Matos - 7 years ago

Do you have a coupon code for your store? I'm currently going to purchase 2 bundle deals, and just wanted to make sure before I clicked for payment processing.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

No, the sale prices are listed on the items that are on sale this weekend.

Slime ._. Rhino - 7 years ago

Can you add Balloon Mollies with bettas because I have the CUTEST black balloon molly with so much personality but I really want to get a betta.

My mollies name is pepper and I want to get a white male and name him salt

Gavin Chen - 7 years ago

My bettas are the opposite when it comes to platies, they flare at them :( Thanks for the suggestion of Seachem Safe, it works better for my tanks!

Hey Bree - 7 years ago

I somehow able to keep a couple of glass bloodfin tetra with my female half moon betta.

Ammya Cat - 7 years ago

I had a betta sorority and my koi female nipped my dumbo females fins to where she passed away and had no fins left. This was in the span of less than what week. She was bullying the other veatail girls too. So I made a divider using your DIY and she has her own area while the other three girls get along great.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

It's good to hear the divider is working out for you.

Chris aquatics - 7 years ago

How many neon tetras can I keep in a 15 gallon? Just for them?

Chris aquatics - 7 years ago

@orandachildren @lifewithpets thank you so much for your help!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I would do no more than 10-15.

OrandaChildren - 7 years ago

MintChocolate - 7 years ago

I've had a lot of success keeping my bettas with corys and my bristlenose pleco. Even one of my somewhat aggressive males never bothered the pleco even though he would occasionally flare at the corys during his first few weeks in the tank. But eventually all of my bettas have learned to accept tankmates. Some might have needed the tank to be more heavily planted, and some might have done better with non fish species like African dwarf frogs, but in my experience I've been able to keep all of my bettas in community tanks with great success. I find overall my bettas stay a lot more active and healthy and I avoid keeping my bettas in solitary tanks after initial quarantine but of course this is my personal preference.

Michael's Fish Room - 7 years ago

Great info! I like how you stressed not all Betta Fish can co habituate with other fish!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thanks!

filthyanimal - 7 years ago

I had a super peaceful blind male betta with zebra danios, guppies, corys, and kuhli loaches. I've also had another betta bully a cory away from it's food. In theory I imagine a betta would be fine with most peaceful community fish if it's personality will fit, but some are just bred from super agressive lines and can't. Always have a back-up plan for your fish in case they decide not to get along! C:

Alisson - 7 years ago

Platies power ! :D I have 3 platies (I had 4 but one passed away after 9 months) with my betta fish in a 5.5 gallons. They are perfectly fine, I have some footages of them on my channel. I also have an Ancistrus and 2 clinthons snails in this tank. I now have a snail invasion but it's an other species that came with some plants I bought. (if you have any suggestion to help me please do..) I'm thinking to buy a bigger tank but now I'm worried to transfert my snail problem with them...

BunniesAndBubbles - 7 years ago

Get assassin snails, but first you should move the snails you want to keep to a different tank so that they arent killed.

Fish For Thought - 7 years ago

Great bullet-proof tank mate suggestions. Very safe and correct choices

Jada Wierck - 7 years ago

I have my half moon male betta with 3 female guppies, 5 neon tetras, and 2 snails. He has been in there for a while now and is doing great!

Maritza Rosales - 7 years ago

I have Fancy guppies, and Hillstream Loach. Also albino plecos do not grow to big

Rulingtomax - 7 years ago

My go to tank mates are definitely White Cloud Minnows. I have had no problems keeping them with my Bettas or my female sorority.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

They're a beautiful fish but ideally need much lower temperatures than Bettas do. Having them in higher temperatures will shorten their lifespan.

NovaCosmo - 7 years ago

My male loves his 20gal with a female betta, 4 cory's, 3 ottos and 2 male guppies and 3 cherry shrimp.

When i first introduced the female to him, he got SO excited it was adorable, and he immediately began showing her around the tank and where he hides and makes the bubble nests.

Catalina Mejia - 7 years ago

Cute

XGT59 - 7 years ago

He's trying to get lucky

NovaCosmo - 7 years ago

@V Betta, he still eats but I do find he does leave more pellets for her, even though she is a pig because she is still growing! Her eating has slowed down now

NovaCosmo - 7 years ago

Again, I am aware of this commonfolk knowledge. I always monitor their behavior at least an hour a day

NovaCosmo - 7 years ago

I am aware of this common knowledge, but I am telling you it is fish personality. He had been on his own for 3 years and I swear he just wants company. He is such a sweet boy

NovaCosmo - 7 years ago

@V betta Not sure on the specific species but the fins, they are long and all connected. Not a crown or anything.

MintChocolate - 7 years ago

NovaCosmo He's trying to mate with her. It's important that you recognize this behavior for what it is. After they mate and the eggs are brought to the bubble nest the female will normally try to eat the eggs and the male will kill her. You have to remove her as soon as possible after mating, or before if you don't want babies

V Betta - 7 years ago

NovaCosmo

Hey Nova, what tail type is your non aggressive betta?

I have been experimenting you could say with male and females together. My male EE halfmoon was delighted when I gave him a female. I had him alone in a densely planted tank for a year. He kept a nice nest going the whole time. When I put the lady in he "danced" and followed her around, wiggling, dancing. They didn't fight. She was in there for 3 months and I only removed her, reluctantly, because the male was getting too thin. He would dance and let her eat all the food. She would eat hers and rush over and gobble his down too. I put her in with another male, a veiltail, but removed her within 2 or 3 days as he was aggressively chasing her and never calmed down.

Colorado Rose - 7 years ago

Jenni __ a male and female can live together just depends on the size of the tank and fish themselves. I've been watching another youtuber who was experimenting and he has 2 males and 1 female all together in a tank over 300 gallons big. They do meet here and there but just swim by each other.

Jenni __ - 7 years ago

NovaCosmo Male & female betta in the same tank? They should never be together unless they're breeding

Raining Pigs Studios - 7 years ago

I hope eventually I can get an even bigger tank for my Betta. Although I clean it regurally my two snails had babies back in March, which led to many snails. I think there may be about 20 left since my Betta has been eating some of them (thankfully), but this has caused green alaege to form on the top of the water. Every time I clean it, it forms again, which is pretty annoying. I hope to buy possibly a 20 gallon tank for my Betta, so he'll have more space and so I can have bottom feeders instead of snails. I might take one snail out of that tank however.

Raining Pigs Studios - 7 years ago

I know that, but isn't it cruel to add a creature in a tank just so they could eat babies?

My Cup of Tea - 7 years ago

Raining Pigs Studios assassin snails will eat other snails and keep their population under control.

Brynne Guyer - 7 years ago

Also, long or short-finned bristle nose plecos stay small as well. They only grow to be 3-4 inches. I had a baby one that was a gold color. My betta didn't bother it. I was very upset when it died prematurely. I still don't know why it passed away.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, they are a good option too.

Brynne Guyer - 7 years ago

I have 2 African Dwarf Frogs and a snail with my betta in a 10 gallon. I would love to add either guppies, platys or tetras to the tank to make it prettier. Love your channel!!

Unless the corys are pygmy's I wouldn't put them in a 10 gallon tank. They get too big once full grown. The neons may be ok if the tank is well planted.
