can i put betta with gourami?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
It depends which gouramis, some of the dwarf gouramis may be bullied by a betta and the larger species may attack the betta. It is a case of watch and observe, provide plenty of live plants and decorative structure and be prepared to isolate the male betta to a suitable habitat.

Are guppies also good tank mates?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
They can be attacked by a betta, especially fancy male guppies. Lots of plants and structure helps but male fancy guppy tails usually suffer and you can count on the betta eating baby guppies.

can i keep a male betta and a female gold fish tail together
Jasmine yancy

Fluval Aquatics oh ok yea i didnt get both i just have the betta in a fish bowl. Hes so cute! lol should i put a plant in there. its a medium size fish bowl and its a baby betta. Also shpuld i feed him twice every other day?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Jasmine, bettas and goldfish have very different temperature preferences and given the size goldfish get to and their comportment, it is not recommended to keep them together.

I always read that I should buy a less aggressive Betta. How can you tell if it is or not?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
You cannot tell, the fact a male displays at his reflection is a natural trait all male B. splendens have. The recommendation is likely related to when you buy a Betta to keep in a community aquarium, in that case as we suggest, watch and observe, be prepared to place the betta in its own small equipped aquarium.

What about guppies
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Guppies are not recommended, male betta splendens will very likely attack a male fancy guppy.

My bettas tail broke and he is still alive it is possible?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Tearing of a bettas fins can happen for a variety of reasons, in a community tank a betta being fin nipped is almost common, one of the reasons we prefer they are kept isolated.
Stacy Curtis
Stacy Curtis - 6 years ago
The people at PetSmart gave me 5 free baby guppies to put with my female betta. They didn't mention they'd be midnight snacks. I'm down to 2 guppies.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Stacy, bettas will prey on any small fish they can eat, common to most tropical fish in fact. We suggest you isolate the two remaining guppies if you wish to keep them.
Stacy Curtis
Stacy Curtis - 6 years ago
Weird part is they only disappear at night. During the day when I'm next to the tank everyone is sweet. Then apparently at night the Gremlin comes out.

When do you put a female in a breeding time?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Keeven, happy to help! If you can locate some, have seen them for sale on line, adding 1 large tropical almond leaf per 10 gallons is a good idea when breeding, these are leaves found in a Betta's natural habitat, the tanins leached are beneficial to the fish and will support better spawning results.
Keeven Caldz
Keeven Caldz - 6 years ago
Thank you for the information fluval aquatics
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Keeven, some information in summary form for you: attempt the introduction when: the male has built a nest; all conditions are right (temperature, tight fitting top on tank to maintain same air and water temperatures); the female is visibly filled with eggs (the abdomen will be protrude); there is a white nipple protruding from her vent; she is dark with visible barring and most importantly is that she is flaring her gills and trying to rush at the male when he displays and approaches her (meaning she is behind a see through wall so the pair can see each other). A ten gallon tank half filled with water and one small sponge filter operating in one corner at a slow non surface disturbing rate is recommended. Heater and thermometer (temperature should be 79 to 82 deg F). No gravel, easier for the pair to pick up the eggs and put in the nest if they fall to the bottom. Some floating plants, like hornwort for example and low light level lighting. Good Luck! Let us know how it works out - Tom

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Bettas really should not be kept with goldfish as the temperature requirements for bettas mean a heater is required. The comportment of a betta is also not compatible with goldfish, in terms of behavior and feeding.

Depending on which fish is the glofish, if they are danios then other small species of danios, barbs and tougher types of tetras.

Neon Tetra's are schooling fish. It is healthier to have them in a larger school. I would go for 10, you can mix them with cardinale tetra's as well, they will school together. Good luck
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Yes that's fine. Always monitor for the first few days.

Would a halfmoon or crowntail be alright with 4-5 rasbora's and a few khuli loaches in a ten gallon?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
As Rasboras and Khuli fish are relatively passive, it should be OK. However we always recommend to observe your fish during the first few days to see how they share their community.

Hi Brian, you are guessing right, as Tiger Barbs an aggressive species and should not live with Bettas.

Hello I need help I moved my betta fish from a 1.5 to a 20 gallon and he bloated up because of over feeding and then started losing color and stopped moving around help!!
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
So many variables could have come into play in this situation. Was the 20 gallon tank fully ready to receive your Betta? We suggest doing a few water tests as well as making sure that the tank is at the proper water temperature and keep a close eye on your fish.

Would a glass catfish be ok in the same tank as a Betta?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Yes that should be ok, do take note that glass catfish need to be in a school of their own kind, in our opinion that would mean at least 3 to 5 glass cats for them to feel comfortable. They are shy but when kept in a group they are less so. The aquarium size would have to be at least 10 to 15 gallons in this case.
Shailah Teelucksingh
Shailah Teelucksingh - 6 years ago

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Shailah, not recommended, goldfish are a cold water species and get far too large to be good tankmates for a betta.
Ed Paine
Ed Paine - 6 years ago
OK to put Betta with angel fish?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
With younger angelfish, as the angels grow the tank size and required filtration may create too much water movement for a betta to be comfortable in.
Mockingbird Hill
Mockingbird Hill - 6 years ago
I have four small dojos (about 2.5") that someday will be moved to my larger tank as well as four small plecos (1.5", who will also be moved to the larger tank someday) and was wondering if a dojo and pleco would do okay with a mild-mannered betta. I have four 3.5 gallon tanks with filters and bubblers that would make keeping my four betta males so much easier if they could be housed with one betta, one dojo and one pleco per tank. I have a lot of living plants and hiding places for the fish in each tank.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Dojo loaches reach up to 6 inches in length in aquariums and if you have a pleco, it too will likely get very large. The 3.5 gallon tank with heater and plants is great for a male betta but would not support the other fish you mention for very long.

How is it with feeding? I’m playing on getting Neon Tetras for my beta tank and idk if there’s certain food that they can both eat or if they eat different foods
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Omar, we like questions like this as we appreciate those that care for their fish :) Bettas will feed at all levels but clearly prefer floating food as they have up turned mouths. Neons like to feed on particles of food in the water column as they sink. Fluval bug bites for small tropicals or for bettas would be fine for both as they are slow sinking.

can you keep betta with gourami and even things other than fish like yabbies and shrimp?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Shrimp fry will be eaten and some types of gourami may be an issue. If they are a smaller and peaceful type gourami and the tank is well planted it should be fine, as we always recommend, watch and observe and be ready to isolate the male betta if necessary.
Abigail x3
Abigail x3 - 6 years ago
Yes you can, I always keep my Betta in a community tank and they do great and nothing happens to them or the other fish. Always pick a Betta that's not aggressive, my Betta always minds it's own business and never nips or hurts the other fish. I always had amazing experiences with them in a community tank. I have like 5 tanks running and they are all doing great.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Abigail, that may be your experience and thanks for sharing, but always watch and observe, in many cases depending on the fish in the community bettas can be fin nipped and sometime a male betta is far too aggressive for some its' tankmates.

What about a female betta? Are females more aggressive?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
In general the female is less aggressive than a male but also makes for a better community fish as it has fins that are of less interest to other fish that might nip at its fins. There are always exceptions, some females can be more aggressive than others so observing is always recommended.
Raven Shine

How big does a tank have to be for 2 bettas?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
You use a 5 gallon aquarium and install a divider to house two male bettas. Two females should be ok in a 5 gallon, make sure to incorporate various plants. Males and females should not be mixed together other than under controlled conditions for the purpose of reproduction.

Will guppies get along with bettas
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Male fancy guppies are at risk of attack from a male Betta splendens, not a recommendation we advocate. Somewhat larger livebearers like platys and swordtails and bottom feeders like corydoras catfish species are better choices.

Blackrose199717 - 6 years ago
I have a shy male betta and he's in a 2.5 gallon tank right now and I'm being gifted with a 10 gallon tank do you think he'd benefit being in a community tank?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
It is likely that he better off having is own private 2.5 gallon. Male bettas have fins that are prone to being nipped, they are not that fast moving and can be affected by stronger filter currents, which would mean adjusting the filter flow rate or setting up tank decor to diffuse it. If you go with some of our recommended species it will likely be fine but do consider that compatibility and the right mix of fish is very important in a community tank.

Can you keep minnows and danios with betas?
Fluval Aquatics

They are not the best choices as they fast swimmers and would out compete the betta at feeding time. Minnows are likely cold water species that would not fare well at the temperature range required by a betta.

Frogs in general are predators of fish, really depends on the species of frog you are considering, a dwarf aquatic species perhaps, in general we would avoid mixing them with fish.

Good move, some bettas are more aggressive than others and isolation is the best strategy for them.
Demi God

Thank you for such a quick reply Fluval! I think the long flowing tails and fins of the male guppies may have reminded her of a male betta and she attacked. That's my thought on it. I'm just going to keep her in a 10gal by herself and have a seperate guppy tank since she is so aggressive. :)
Fluval Aquatics

Demi God, we're sorry to hear that, however typically these two species can mix fine together.
Rukia Kuchki
Rukia Kuchki - 6 years ago
If you want a community tank with bettas, The best way is to get the betta in its adolescent stage introduce them to compatible tank mates some people say that there are bettas with temperament issues if you get them as adolescents there's less chance of an aggressive betta.

Shawn Gates
Shawn Gates - 6 years ago
I have my betta in a 30 gallon tank. Just today I added 2 cory catfish, 6 neon tetras, and 1 clown loach. The betta was very curious and checked them out thoroughly while they were still in the pet store bags adjusting to the water temp. but he never flared up or acted aggressive towards them. Now they are in the tank with the betta and exploring the different artificial plants and rock caves I have for them. The betta, again, came very close to investigate but never attacked or so much as flared up at the other fish. And they seem to be quite happy. The cory cats hid in the rock caves shortly but soon enough they came out and went exploring the bottom. And the clown loach hid in the rock cave for some time but he too came out to explore. And they all get along. Thanks so much. I am very happy with my aquarium now and I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. Because of this video I learned which species can be suitable with bettas. And from there I researched more on those species and found sand is a better substrate for cory cats than sharp gravel. I've done a good bit a research and tried my best to ensure all of my fish are happy and comfortable. And so far its been a success. They seem to love it!! Thanks again. Couldn't have done it without your expert advice.

Hi Fardin, we're sorry to hear that. There may have been something else contributing to the loss as it's proven that Neons are compatible. We ourselves have kept the 2 species together successfully for years.

I have a 135 gallon tank with 12 clown loaches (2-6in) and one 8 in pleco. None of them swim toward the top of the tank. They're all at the bottom. Could I add a Betta and have him be safe? If so, would I have two females in addition? Thank you.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Hi Steve, great question and we would refer you to your local pet retailer for something specific like that. They would need to know your filtration type and size, for example, as bettas typically do not fair well in larger tanks with powerful filtration.

I have below fish in a community tank:
1 Male Betta
1 Albino Tetra
3 pairs of Neon Tetras
4 pairs of zebras

recently Zebras start dying. 2 have already died in 2 weeks. One found dead close to the intake of the filter with tails and fins bitten. Other one found close to the filter but only part of the body was found. and I kept it for couple of hours to see what happens and that was vanished.

So my question is, Does any of the fish in my tank are killing them and eating or are they dying due to some disease and eaten by all of them when they are dead?

also some other zebras in the tank with small parts of it's tails are bitten. (earlier I had two tiny gold fish with these and I removed them thinking they are the ones after the zebras. But even after removing one zebra dead. Please help me.

My curious, cautious female betta went into a 15 gal. after starter wcm minnows and a janitor spotted pleco were put in to get things ready. I didn't realize the store might have sold me aggressives even if I said my goal was to finally add a betta at the end. But it worked out! I bought her as a juvenile, and she and the white clouds get along well. For now they are nearly the same size. As for the cranky janitor, the other four stay out of his way when he's working.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Any male Betta splendens can be aggressive and might have to be isolated. Angel fish will outgrown a 60L aquarium and will have to be moved into at least a 120L + aquarium. Guppies are generally not a good choice either. In this aquarium as it is presently we would not advise adding one.

[] Doveen the Fox[]
[] Doveen the Fox[] - 6 years ago
Thank you! Also, what are ancistrus? Are they loaches or cory cats?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Zebra danios are very quick and would out compete the betta and dwarf gourami at feeding time. In general avoid gouramis with bettas, the dwarf may suffer an attack. A plecostomus is not recommended for a smaller aquarium, make sure to chose a small species of ancistrus. Common guppies would likely be ok but their babies would be predated by the betta. In short, we prefer our suggestions in the video.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
While that is a very low fish load and we are certain the betta even if aggressive would not be an issue for those tank mates we would caution that given the speed and feeding aggressiveness of any danio you would have to make sure the betta receives proper nutrition, they are slow feeders comparatively and in a 40 gallon that might just be an issue.

Do platy and betta eat the same flakes ? And if not how do i give the betta different food so the platy don't eat it
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
If the two fish are in the same aquarium you will not be able to control who eats what unfortunately. The good news is that yes, Bettas will eat flakes as a platy would, however, we strongly advise you feed some other foods as well, bug bites are a great choice due to the natural insect content and perfect granular sizing, some frozen food such as bloodworm from time to time is also a good idea.

You are most welcome. We always advise observing your fish and when it comes to tank mates and male Betta splendens we always recommend being ready to isolate the male betta, some of them are more aggressive than others, we are sure the employee is following a better safe than sorry approach which we understand.

víхєn grímm - 6 years ago
Fluval Aquatics perhaps you are right about that. I'm new to the aquarium hobby and in my 1 year of experience I keep getting conflicting advise. For example, I went to purchase 6 neon tetras for my 30 gallon and when the employee realized I had a male betta they flat out refused to sell me the fish. They advised me that no other fish is permitted to be a tank mate for male bettas even though I had reassured them that there were plenty of hiding spaces. I'm not sure what to believe. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. I'm sure you all have the experience and well being of the fish in mind. Thanks for the videos.

After it's cycled, can I do five platys, a male betta and four cory cats? There will be black sand, some driftwood, 2 moss balls, along with java moss. I will feed all of them tropical fish flakes. Anything else I need to add?? Thanks!
FishFish
FishFish - 6 years ago
Thanks so much! Sounds great to me. I'll purchase some BugBites from a PetStore. I will :)
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
That combination of fish should be fine. Always make sure to observe and isolate the betta if necessary, some can be aggressive to other fish. Flakes are ok but we always recommend some variety, so BugBites in the smallest granule is a great natural protein source for Bettas and other fish, its composed of 25% black soldier fly larvae, in other words an insect protein source which is very natural for bettas...Good luck, keep us posted Emily!

Fluval Aquatics

The Badis is a shy species that requires plenty of cover and does prefer similar water conditions to a betta, warmer and a pH range of 6.5 to 7. That said it is a small fish and the betta if aggressive may attack it, as always, be prepared to isolate the betta.
Loryska
Loryska - 6 years ago
I bought my female betta when she was very young, and I put her in a 10gal tank with two gouramis, a school of male livebearers, a small zig zag eel and recently two cories. I guess because she grew up with these fish, she sees they are not a threat to her territory. But when I added the cories, it took her a week before she stopped pestering them. But otherwise, she seems quite content with her tankmates.
Paul Davenport
Paul Davenport - 6 years ago
Straight away there are issues with your suggestions. Sucker mouthed Catfish or Plecos evolved in streams and rivers with significant flow, the complete opposite of Betta fish habitat. This would probably lead to lack of oxygen for the Pleco or a very uncomfortable environment for the Betta.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Paul, yes we are aware of where many species of fish evolve but do take note we did not say plecos but did say "suckermouth catfish like ancistrus and otocynclus" which do well in regular "type" currents generated by standard clip on filters. The filter output should be directed at the wood ancistrus like to inhabit. If you watch our video on ancistrus you will note we have several breeding colonies and they are kept in approximately 25 gallon tanks with wood and one hang on power filter. Certainly no lack of oxygen for the fish we mention and in fact they reproduce in those conditions. For the betta the output directed at decor does diffuse and does provide the betta with plenty peaceful lower water movement zones it would prefer.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
While bettas vary in temperament, let us remember they are called fighting fish for a reason so there is always a chance they will act aggressively towards safe tank mates for them. As you mention, fancy male guppies is one we always recommend staying away from, other anabantids, like various smaller peaceful gouramis you might be tempted to try are generally to be avoided as well. Good question however and as we always recommend, be prepared to isolate a male betta in case.

The kissing gouramis will outgrow the 10 gallon and should be kept with larger fish in at least a 35 gallon aquarum. Guppies are also a problem if they are fancy male guppies with large tails, the betta may well attack them.

15 yrs ago I had 3 tanks(50,20,10 gallon) where I tryed to breed 2 males and 5 females. I should had just put all 7 in a 50 gallon just to see their story .
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
There are some important details to pay attention to when breeding bettas. We suggest reviewing some of the helpful ones on youtube as an example. Typically a female is isolated from a male in a 10 gallon that is filled about 1/2 with water, well conditioned with various quality foods and when she starts aggressively displaying to the male and he has constructed a nest, is introduced. Various live plants and other hiding places should be present, once the spawning is complete she is immediately removed and the male is left with the spawn till they start to free swim. Water temperature at 80 deg R, minimal sponge filter output and water chemistry that reflects somewhat softer water with a pH of about 6 to 6.4

I have two bettas in two different tanks and both do very well with Endlers livebearers. I have my male in a tank with males (when I bought him he was in a tank with them too) and my female betta with the females.

My female is from another store than the male and was originally kept with other females and they chewed off her fins. She still has a bald spot on her tail where they chewed it down to the body, but the rest regrew into beautiful pink fins and my olders Endler female swims along with her everywhere.

Plus other betta handlers have told me that those large, colorful tails/fins that irritate male bettas. Endlers are kinda colorful, but their tails aren't nearly as flamboyant.
Fluval Aquatics

Endlers are fast moving and as such can easily avoid any assaults by a betta. Fancy male guppies with large tails on the other hand are not and at far greater risk of attack.

Should be ok if the mollies are not accustomed to being kept with a higher salt content, check first. The bettas will eat the molly fry.

one mention i missed, is that the neon tetra, shown in the thumbnail, is not a good choice, as they're better suited for bigger (1m/3ft +) tanks, and schools of 20+.
groups in the hundreds make for a dazzling display <3
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Sorry, we forgot one other point to help you out, that is not a neon in the thumbnail but a cardinal tetra.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Neons do well in small schools as well and do make a good choice, in fact in some bodies of natural water we have seen them schooling in smaller numbers. Plants and structure help and as we always say, observe and be ready to isolate the betta if necessary.

can you keep a betta with a rainbow shark
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Absolutely not recommended. The shark will grow too large and very likely become strongly territorial, to which the betta has no defence.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
If the aquarium is over 10 to 15 gallons and contains plants the Cardinals should be ok, should be in a school of approximately 6. The clown loach gets far too large for a smaller aquarium, the Kuhli is a good choice. Always observe and be ready to isolate the male betta in case he is overly aggressive.

I keep my betta in my 55 gallon community. I do have some "fin nippers" but they leave him alone due to where they usually stay at. My betta is a half moon. dwarf guromis can be housed with caution if the tank is huge.

Don't get neon Tetras with bettas!

Reasons why?

1.Tetras are known to be fin nippers
2.Bettas don't normally like colourful fish

MoonFeather
MoonFeather - 6 years ago
Just warning people glow light tetra are sometimes not good tank-mates for Betta's actually well any tetra can be very nippy they are fast moving and from the barb family (fin nipping fish)blue neon tetra can work, I had a Betta in a 10g with a few glow light and Neon tetra he was fairly aggressive but they would nip and nip at him till I moved him to a pond (it's over 20g and he is happy and healthy). Then I saw a half moon mislabeled as a crowntail and I felt sorry for him because all the fish around him were dead so I bought him and quarantined him then put him in a guppy fry holder to get used to the water before he meets the fish I released him and he was scared then they started nipping at him around his face I was really worried they would have killed him but I took a risk and put him in my 25g guppy and bristle nose catfish tank and he happy and eating well if you want a Betta in a community tank then have a back up tank they are both fine and in big tanks I can't stress it enough have a backup tank please that was my problem I didn't and it could have ended badly by the way my Betta fish is really friendly would he be ok with dwarf gourami but Betta are great fish I would recommend having one there fun to watch and have great personality.

In a well planted 15 gallon + you can try it but observe and be ready to isolate the betta if necessary.
GUPPYKIWI
GUPPYKIWI - 6 years ago
Another idea is to introduce the Betta after the other fish have been living in the tank a while so the Betta does not have a sense of prior ownership and doesn't pull rank on the other fish.
GUPPYKIWI
GUPPYKIWI - 6 years ago
Also, the larger the tank, the better so the Betta is not constantly bumping into the other fish and occasionally nipping at them. It's also smart to have dense foilage so a cornered fish has a place to run to.

Be warned, they don't mix!

Laura Garnham but I keep guppies with a Betta and I had them for 3 years now and he doesn't touch them at all , the trick is to pick a Betta that isn't that aggressive, mine is an angel. Also have loads of hiding places like rock caves, and a lot of plants.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Bettas would survive for 3 days with plenty of oxygen in the bag. The lesser the period of time the better, remember that over 3 days it is likely the temperature of the water may be significantly lower, which will also stress the fish.

Fluval Aquatics

There is no flow regulator on the Flex filtration system; but if you are concerned aout the flow for a Betta, you can simply re-direct the output nozzles in one direction, leaving the balance of the tank a little calmer.

Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
They would likely not be a good choice, medium sized fast moving and potentially fin nipping, in our opinion, not recommended.
Sarkazmo Loafy
Sarkazmo Loafy - 6 years ago
The prime factor in whether a Betta will be compatible with a tankmate is the Betta itself. Some are laid back, never start any trouble, others are murder machines that'll try to kill everything in the tank, snails included. Sometimes they even start out nice but snap and go off on a murder spree. Happened with a beautiful blue veil I had. I ghost shrimp pinched his tail and went for a Betta ride. The next morning every shrimp was killed and he actively tried to kill the big snail in his tank until he succeeded after weeks. I'd have taken the snail out but I thought for sure he was safe. :(

That is expected of a male betta and no specific action is required because of it. You can always separate the male to a specific aquarium set up properly for breeding and introduce a conditioned ready to spawn female at the right time if breeding is what you wish to attempt.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Michael, ick is a parasite so the best prevention is to first make sure any new fish you purchase does not have any visible white spots anywhere. Second, on arrival place new specimens in a quarantine aquarium (no substrate, a few clay pots for hiding) for two weeks (with proper filtration and heating of course), if no ick is visible after that period it should be ok to introduce the new fish to your intended aquarium.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
No (unless they are separated in that tank), there is a specific procedure for breeding male and female bettas, the female must show willingness to approach the male, and is then removed right after as she will be attacked by the male after spawning, the males takes care of the eggs and fry until they are free swimming, after that he needs to be removed. The glowlights are tetras and they mix well with neons and amano shrimp.

Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
At 3 gallons, we recommend not mixing in fish. The "rule of thumb" depends on species and your preference, but you should allow 1 gallon of water for every 0.5" of cold water fish or 0.5 gallons of water for every 0.5" of tropical fish. Fish are usually sold as juveniles so you will need to allow some extra space for your fish to grow.

Yes it is a very realistic option for a small community tank. Fancy male bettas with their large fins usually prefer a little less current but adjusting the output nozzle and arranging tank decor can create a more subtle water movement.

Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
We do not see a compatibility issue and they both like soft, acidic warmer water. Just ensure the betta is free of any disease, discus are rather sensitive.

This is always possible when it comes to mixing a betta with other fish, precisely why we always recommend when questioned about what can be kept with a male betta, to observe and be ready to isolate the betta if necessary.

and how many fish maximum can I have in a 32 litre fish tank??
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Hi Brianna, the old general rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon (3.78L) in a mature stable aquarium. However there are many variables that affect the rule, we really prefer you consulting a trusted fish knowledgeable source for more specific guidance. 32 liters is a small aquarium that should only contain small peaceful species of tropical fish, for example a small school of 6 yo 8 neons or harelquin rasboras and a small species of corydoras ( a trio would be ok), a few live plants would also be beneficial.

Aqua King

Warning: My neon tetra decided to go territorial and killed all my other neon tetra!! I now keep green neons and they are much calmer, also tetra can get all sort of deseases that can spread to the Betta like -fin rot... Small bristlenose pleco would be fine I think until 10 months of age, and also most people keep them with male and female guppies and they are calm but it all comes down to individual species, some Betta will even kill your fish just to have the tank to himself, hope I helped , but this is just my opinion on what I've seen in the past.

you say platies are good, but what about guppies?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
We do not recommend guppies as males with large fancy tails are subject to attack from some male bettas. Platies are a little larger and a little tougher, they usually mix ok but do not take any combination for granted, observe and be prepared to isolate a male betta.

which al type of fish can be kept with famale betta
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 6 years ago
Good question, we recommend you follow the same logic for female bettas. While they do not have the same limitations as fancy varieties of domestic Betta splenden male varieties with their potentially huge tails, the comportment is similar towards other species of fish. The one exception is the fact that you can keep several females together in aquariums of 5 gallons and up, but, make sure to use adequate decor and preferably some hardy species of live plants, same caution, always observe as some females are much more aggressive than others, be prepared to isolate an aggressive fish if necessary.

There are some pet stores that do buy from private breeders, while more expensive the fish are of higher quality and painstakingly raised. We suggest networking with more specialized fish shops, you will likely come across some good sources. You can also try on line resources for bettas, the International Betta Congress is a good place to start and you can join, www.ibcbettas.org

A female will not have the long and more taxing fins domestic male Betta splendens have to deal with and in that sense would make a better community fish, they feed more competitively, etc..

Fluval Aquatics

Assuming your aquarium is large enough, in this case, 15 gallons or greater, we see no problem with that combination, but, as always recommended, observe the betta, some are more aggressive than others.

Fluval Aquatics

The guppies we don't recommend, their fry will be eaten by a betta and males may have their tails attacked, adult neons are fine, always recommended to observe and ensure the betta is not overly aggressive...btw, is that a German Wirehaired Pointer in your avitar?

Can an albino , neon rainbow fish , red tail shark and a zebra fish work well with a male betta?
Fluval Aquatics

We would not recommend that, too fast moving. Rainbow sharks can get territorial and do get too large, we feel the betta would not compete well for its food with these fish and would likely get attacked at one point by the shark.

Rainbows are fast moving and would likely devour all food before the betta was aware it was in the tank, therefore not highly recommended. The mollies may have been kept with a sizeable dose of salt added to their water, not the best for bettas, we suggest following our suggestions in the video.

We are not sure where you have heard that but in fact these fish prefer softer more acidic water, not brackish water. Loaches, corydoras catfish, rasboras are examples that can work with these fish, taking care to ensure they are appropriately sized, macrostoma can easily get to 4 inches in length.

I once had a blind veil tail betta kept with a small group of zebra danio without an issue, though I've been told danios can be fin nippers! I suppose a crowntail betta would have had more trouble with them. Another thing to keep in mind is the aggressiveness of your particular betta, as I've had one bully the corydora cafish away from their food pellets. Always have a backup tank incase your betta decides to be a butt! Sometimes they just don't mix well with other fish for whatever reason.
Fluval Aquatics

We agree! Always be prepared to intervene if necessary.

A group of harlequin rasboras would work and perhaps a pair of platys. The platys are livebearers so do keep in mind the betta would prey on newly born livebearer fry.

HerpZilla Reptiles - 7 years ago
it really depends on the Betta too. I keep my male with Six white cloud minnows and some ghost shrimp in his 6 gallon tank because he's a good boy, I had some neon tetras and corydora's in there too but I moved them to a much bigger tank of mine and got some relatively inexpensive "feeder as they call them" cloud minnows and ghost shrimp. but some Betta's might absolutely devour "or at least try to" any fish. and absolutely no fish with long flowing fins like guppies! this can actually trick your Betta into thinking they are also Betta's and we all know that won't end well for the guppy.
Shey's Betta
Shey's Betta - 7 years ago
I don't get how you can promote this. Bettas are stressed out by other fish. They should be kept on their own ... the tank mates acceptable are snails and shrimp (if he doesn't eat them).
I had bettas in community tanks and they all died quickly. Now that I'm experienced (12 years later) I keep all my bettas in tanks to their own and they get old af!
If you love your betta, give him a single home. Also... the tank in the video is way too small vor Platies and Corys!!!

I have a Fluval Accent and I have a fantail and a betta. I've watched them incredibly closely since putting them together a couple of months ago. Skittles (my goldie) completely ignores Borealis (betta). Borealis also tends to just hide in the décor most of the time anyway. Temp is good for both species (24C) and Borealis knows when I feed them so he hangs around the top at that time haha so feeding both is not an issue. Love my fishies and I'm prepared to move the betta if it goes south

Oh I see! That's not bad. Well at the moment I don't have any fish, but I've had a few Bettas in my life, I just never even thought about compatable tank mates. I figured introduction with a Betta would take much much more then what you mentioned. Thank you for the response!!

Rebecca that is perfectly fine for a male betta. Yes, a group of 2 or 3 dwarf corydoras catfish for the bottom would be nice, use a fine sand for the corys, they will love it, avoid coarse or sharp edged gravel.

Loreal L. The latter sounds like a great idea. It'll be a surefire.
I think you want to take a risk for an interesting tank though. My advice would be to start with the sorority divider plan. Then in a while divide the betas in half with only one divider (one male per side) . See how the males get on with each other and the females they are with and you'll know if you can go ahead or not. When you're doing risky things like this make sure and observe them for a while and pay attention for any foul play. *perhaps put all the females on one males side to spread out the aggression too.

In the wild betas are kinda together but can have more than a square meter of territory for themselves. The fifty gallon can't really compare. Maybe add some pants and read up about reducing aggression in fish. If you want I could give you the skinny version here.
GOOD LUCK!

I have acquired two male bettas now in separate small tanks. They need a larger tank so I upgraded to a 50 gal tank. Can I successfully add these two mails with other females or am I asking for trouble? Should I simply divide them off at each end and put sorority in the middle?

Personally, I have kept my half-moon male with 3 male fancy guppies and 1 female. He is very docile and likes the company of other fish, so he got along well with the guppies, despite their long flowing fins and bright colors. Some bettas are far too aggressive, and will kill guppies on sight, so if you try it, try using a clear separator and see how the betta and guppies react to one another.

We don't recommend it for a few reasons. Bettas will actively eat guppy fry. Fancy male guppies are at risk of attack, especially from a male betta. The recommendations in the video are far better choices and in fact as always we do caution about how some individual bettas can be significantly more aggressive, always observe and be ready to isolate the betta if necessary.

Anita Santana
Anita Santana - 7 years ago
i have a question. I got a 40 gallon comm tank for my beautiful red double tail betta, Rambo. i wanted him to have more room and plenty of live plants. I added one cory catfish and 7 glolite tetras with no issues. shortly after i was told that congo tetras would be perfectly suitable tankmates so i added 2 female congo tetras (because their colors are much duller than males). so far they all coexist nicely. Rambo does like to chase the congos from time to time but never flares or seems very agressive at all. just seems like hes exercising to be honest. and they never show any agression toward him. no harm done. but they are very fast and i worry about when they grow bigger. might they come to nip at his fins as the get bigger and faster or would they remain docile?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Anita, it is tough to predict but there is risk with Congo tetras, they do get large and are very fast. In keeping male and female congos together its normal for males to display and chase and nip each other and females, as you have only females (hopefully not a juvenile male) it should be ok now, but we don't recommend that combination. We are far less worried about Rambo chasing the female congos, he is far slower than they are....

can we keep a male Betta and 4-5 guppies in a natural planted 10gallon tank ?

Also, while buying a make betta, how can we know the age of Betta's and if they are healthy ?

and how to select a Betta that is ideal for a community tank.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
There is no real way to know how a betta will act towards other fish in a community tank unfortunately. There are better choices for tank mates, generally guppies are at risk with a betta. As for health and age, young males will have a smaller body for thing and for health, look for good response to any food dropped in, healthy movement in the container or aquarium and clean non blemished ragged fins, no spots or red patches on the body. Lethargic fish not swimming about or displaying would not be a good sign, they should look alert.

It is perfectly fine to keep a betta in a 10 gallon, you do not need a specific betta tank (you should maintain the temperature we recommend with a heater and thermometer). Just be careful if you mix in other fish, this video does give you some suggestions.

When you say Betta we will assume the fancy domestically bred Betta splendens. A female is a better choice in that she doesn't have the fins and limitations of a male's spectacular fins. That said always observe, some females can be aggressive too and may chase or bully smaller or shy species of fish.

Congrats! Start by isolating them in a 5 to 10 gallon aquarium with a heater and an air pump driven sponge filter. Feed them a minimum of 3 to 4 times a day the amount they consume in about 2 minutes, small regular feedings will sustain the best growth and health. Best results are always achieved when feeding them live brine shrimp at least once a day. Move the group to a larger tank in a month or two depending on how many there are. Best of luck, enjoy!

Best advice with Bettas is always have a back up plan ,i have a crowntail living happily with German Rams ,corys,an neons. i have a half moon that litterally obsessed over the corys an chewed their dorsal fins, chased the German Rams relentlessly, an ignored the neons because he was too busy with the others. The half moon appeared friendly an the crowntail appeared aggressive prior to trying this . Always have a back up tank if you try this alliance of fish.

If the bettas fins are being damaged then you should isolate the betta and give him his own aquarium. Continued nipping at damaged fins will lead to infection.

I want to keep some fish together in a tank. Arranged as per priorities Goldfish, Betta Splendid, Ghost Knife, Angel Fish, and Neon Tetra. I plan a 6 Feet (Length) by 2.4 feet (Height) by 2-1/2 feet (Depth). I also want to use an under gravel filter (with gravel and a little soil) along with short grass and 4 5 stems of other plants with a small portion of driftwood and 1 2 coral type rock (those which have holes in them). Please let me know if it is possible and how can I keep all these fish together. In -tank separation is okay with me.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Hi Raja, some aquatic plants can grow without any substrate. In fact with goldfish which tend to eat most aquatic plants a good choice would be a large species of Anubias for the tank you were referring to. Anubias can be attached to rock and driftwood and will grow on those types of surfaces. It is a very robust plant with durable hard leaves, low level lighting is also sufficient for that family of plants.
Raja Bhattacharya
Raja Bhattacharya - 7 years ago
Thanks a lot for the reply. Will plants grow without the soil and maybe with liquid macronutrients and only gravel with an under gravel filter? I must have Goldfish so who can stay with Gold Fish.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Raja, seems like you will have challenges there. Soil with an undergravel filter will be a mess, we would not advise it. You also want to mix a cold water species like goldfish with tropical fish, not advised. We recommend making a decision to stock your aquarium based on compatible species and go from there. No coral rock either for the fish you mention. That is a large aquarium so you could go with Angel fish, Ghost knife and some schools of larger peaceful tetras, like bleeding hearts for example, neons would eventually be predated by the knife fish.

Sabrina
Sabrina - 7 years ago
I am a first time aquarist and I've always wanted an aquarium for as long as I can remember. So last last I finally went out and spent few hundred dollars and bought myself FUVAL SPEC V tank, substrate, decorations, live plants, water heater, FLUVAL sponge to cut the harsh flow from filter and finally 2 mystery snails and a beautiful PARADISE beta fish <3. Couple of days later after setting up my tank, I came to know about the Nitrogen Cycle the new tank must undergo in order to sustain any kind of life. Scared, I started doing about 25% water changes everyday and bought myself the API test kit. About 3 to 4 days later I tested the water and it had 0 ppm Ammonia in it. I think since I've been changing the water so frequently that I'm NOT giving the ammonia chance to build up in the tank , thus preventing any ammonia consuming bacteria from forming. So I haven't changed my water in about 3/4 days and I'm starting to see ammonia around ~0.5 ppm range now. But I'm scared that my beta fish will be impacted by the time the whole cycle is complete (from ammonia -->> nitrite --> nitrate). Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? What level should I let the ammonia accumulate up to before doing 25% water change? How long before ammonia consuming bacteria appear? Can you please make a video on nitrogen cycle? Thank You <3

Sabrina, the best thing to do is dose your tank as recommended on the label of Fluval Biological Enhancer, that will ensure you are seeding your SPEC filter with optimal strains of nitrifying bacteria. Then you will see thanks to your smart purchase of an ammonia test kit that the ammonia should drop, however, by all means, drop the level right away with continued regular water changes. Your fish is rugged, Paradise fish are tough and can breathe atmospheric oxygen, so they do tolerate new tank conditions better than more delicate tropicals that are not anabantids. The regular water changes are good and will not inhibit the establishment of essential bacteria, make sure not to disturb your foam filter media for the first two months, after that when you need to clean it do remove some water into a clean bucket and rinse the foam media in that removed tank water, this will help support better bio-filtration. For the time being do not add other fish and sparingly feed to reduce nitrogen input. Enjoy your new SPEC!

What is the rule of thumb when stocking fish per gallon?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Although traditionally the general rule of 1 inch of fish per gallon is used, this rule does not take into account adult size of fish, fish behavior, the particular species of fish (5 inches of Oscar requires a much larger tank than 5 inches of neon tetra) along with many other variables. There are excellent on line resources like howmanyfish.com that discuss the variables and even provide limits based on surface area and more, we recommend you explore some resources to get the full picture. If on the other hand you can provide what your tank size is and the fish you are interested in we can certainly give you an approximate safe estimate.

Kikyo4815 thank you and yeah I try to use aquarium light rarely now. He used to flare on every side of tank. Now it's better. He got used to his new enviroment but I still try not to turn on aquarium light often :)
Kikyo4815
Kikyo4815 - 7 years ago
Vebera also, are you sure he's flaring and not glass surfing? Glass surfing is when they swim back and forth against the side of the tank, and it can look like they're chasing their reflection. It's a sign of stress and it can be caused by poor water quality or ammonia in the tank, among other possibilities.
Kikyo4815
Kikyo4815 - 7 years ago
Vebera is it only one side of the tank that he does it on? Try putting something like paper against that side of the tank, it should stop him from seeing his reflection. You could also try moving the tank somewhere else, if it's the light from the room that is causing this. If it's an aquarium light, stop using it and just make sure he gets enough daylight.

Hi, I hoping to get a Siamese Fighter/Betta Splendens - I've never had one before but have kept plenty of tropical fish. I currently have a bristlenose catfish, are these alright to keep with a fighter?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Yes a bristlenose catfish (small ancistrus species) is a perfect tank mate for a betta, assuming the tank is at least 5 to 10 gallons in volume and has filtration and heating.

Hi. I have a Fluval Spec 5 gallon tank. I bought the artificial fluval driftwood decoration as well as some Cichlid stones to fit at the end. I am thinking I might put 5 neon tetras and a pleco sucker in the tank. Would it be okay to also put in a betta fish? or do these species not get along.?
Travis Eby
Travis Eby - 7 years ago
Thank you very much!
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Travis if the neons are adult size it should be ok (consider black neons, a little larger and quicker), we do say "should" because some male bettas are more aggressive with other species than others, please observe to ensure there are no issues. As for the suckermouth catfish you are mentioning, make sure it is a small species of ancistrus, a common plecostomus gets far too big for your aquarium.

Bettas will actively seek out guppy fry and eat them. Fancy guppy males are at risk from attack by a male betta, generally we don't suggest it.

This is not unexpected for a male betta, yes isolate him and being as he seems to be a higher strung fish then we would agree that the mirror should be covered up.

Male fancy guppies with large tails can be targets, we would advise caution. In any case it is always suggested to observe, do not assume your betta will not be overly aggressive or that another fish may not target the male bettas long flowing fins.
Lifewithpets

This is such a beautiful tank. We keep several tanks with different types of fish with our betta fish. Not all bettas will accept tank mates but most will if you choose suitable tank mates and have a large enough tank set up to a bettas requirements.

Idk why no one is mentioning it, but as far I know is best to add in the betta last, so he feels less territorial, is what i plan on doing on my tank, add some tetras, then the betta. I had a 10 gallon tank years ago with a betta, i added some tetras and he killed them, so now im trying it differently, and also more hiding spots.
Landon Norris

Rippin Bass i was told bettas and mollys would be fine. I have a male veil tail Betta with two mollys and it did not go well. I had the beta in the tank first and decided to add the mollys (one male, one female). Within two days the female molly had ripped up the betta's fin so badly that he wouldn't swim at all (would just sit at the bottom corner of the tank). I know the female is pregnant so I'm not sure if that caused the issue, but with my experience I would strongly recommend not putting bettas and mollys together.

Goldies and bettas can't co-exist. That's just the way it is. The betta will see the goldie as a rival for his long flowing fins.

Fluval Aquatics

No issues in our tank, that male betta was a very calm fish. However, as we have mentioned many times, do not assume it will work out with any fish when including a male betta, some are really aggressive and do need to be isolated.

Sorry bud, goldies need a 25/30 gal minimum. Plus, bettas are super territorial and would flare at a goldie for his fins. Plus, the betta would probably be eaten.

That's why he said smaller tetras. Tetras that are shaped like neons, cardinals, glolights, silver tips, etc are good choices. Larger and flatter tetras like the skirted tetras, serpae tetras, and congo tetras are not good choices. Also, keeping tetras in larger schools of at least 6, but preferably 10, keeps their aggression down.

in my 23 gallon tank i have male and femal bettas 5 platys 10 neons and 3 bottom feeders and the whole.community does well

you can see that each fish has its own character some are more friendly and social than others.

neons guppies platys should do well.

Because the glofish you are likely referring to are actually zebra danios we would not recommend it, the danios are very fast swimmers and would likely consume all food before the betta had a chance of feeding.

unless I missed you saying this, I would also keep any fish that have really nice fins similar to that of bettas (such as Guppies)

fish that have similar fins as betta will make the betta see it as another male betta and try and fight it

Otherwise, excellent video on tank mates!

MrKazuma52 - 7 years ago
Fluval Aquatics I can't believe how badly I wrote that comment haha, I was trying to say I would recommend against keeping any fish with fins similar to that of male Bettas with Bettas due to the Betta more than likely will attack those types of fish.

I've started a tank a 10 gallon 2 weeks ago and I have a betta with some neon, rasbora and a planko And its working out great. So the other day I bought a 20 gallon. Just waiting on your c2 water filter in the mail. I Would like a little bit bigger fish any ideas? I was really thinking cherry shrimp and panda Cory. Any other friendly fish I could add to the tank that won't out grow??
Fresh water by the way
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Glenn, as a 20 gallon is still a small aquarium we think you might enjoy a pair of dwarf honey gouramis and a small school of 6 to 8 Espei rasboras. For the bottom a trio of Corydoras Sterbai. We like live plants and so will your fish, so a background of corkscrew vallineria and some Cryptocoryne becketii for the foreground.
Glenn Douglas
Glenn Douglas - 7 years ago
Ok thank you. I won't use shrimp any recommendations for my 20 gallon
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
While the Cherry you are anxious to consider are very interesting they do limit you on fish, in fact we could not suggest any fish bigger than neons and smaller rasboras. In fact, even smaller would be better. Also remember if the Cherry Shrimp breed the fry will be food for even small fish, so perhaps re-consider keeping the shrimp if its fish you prefer or vice versa and shrimp only with the Panda corys.

No it is not recommended. Goldfish get too large and prefer cooler temperatures vs. what the Betta should be kept at.

Can I put Betta with guppies and mollies??
Abdulrahim Alloush
Abdulrahim Alloush - 7 years ago
thank you for this information
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Ramos, caution with guppies, male guppies with large tails may end up being attacked, they are also less able to escape attack because of their fins. We prefer platys for keeping with Bettas, mollies would be ok as long as they are not being kept with salt addition, they often are (meaning adding salt with your betta is not recommended for general keeping).

I tried my male betta with a few albino corydoras...the bastard attacked them. The betta is now being kept alone in with my plants. I wish he'd told me when I got him that he'd hate any tank mates, but what can I do? He shows up beautifully against the plants!

QUESTION: i bought a betta that was labeled baby male. it is growing out its tale but is getting points on the top and bottom tail. how do you know if its going to be a crown tail vs getting tail rott? it acts totally healthy. making a big bubble nest. swims to me for attention. so seems good health.
scoobydoo316us
scoobydoo316us - 7 years ago
thanks. thats what i was thinking. had bettas for years but never this type. never had a betta with tail rott either so guess been lucky.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
It sounds like a healthy fish. A crown tail has very obvious filaments where as fin rot would appear as uneven decomposition of the fin(s), a very jagged look or sometimes very sudden erosion with the fins obviously being consumed and missing, usually accompanied by low activity level, sluggishness, slow to no feeding response and similar.

Hi, I am trying to convince my mom into letting me get a male Betta and then also a sorority tank. How many females can you keep in a 10 gallon? if not females how many other fish can I keep with the male? Few fish ideas are neon tetras,balloon mollies, platy, or albino Cory catfish. Also do nerite snails come out of the water because I was thinking of 1 or 2 of those but my hood has holes in it for the filter and stuff.

DokiYukuSenSen - 7 years ago
10 gallons is fine for the male betta but not the sorority tank, I recommend a 20+ gallon for a sorority. Also make sure you have more than 2 or 3 females, always monitor your tank and put plenty of hiding spaces both high and low. So make sure you have decor at every level of the tank. This prevents a female from chasing another female all around the tank with no place to hide as well as a secure place for fish to come up and eat as well as territories.
Jack smith
Jack smith - 7 years ago
Neon Tetra Aquarist Sorry if it came across that way but im trying to help. A long time ago i tried a sorority in a 10g but it didnt last for long. I had lots of hiding places ect and live plants but the fish would still fight alot so i ended up taking it down before they killed each other. Because of their agressiveness i dont think 10g is big enough unless the females are docile ones. If you can swap the tank for a bigger one it would be better but if not then be very careful and try to pick females that react the least to each other. :) Also by plays do you mean platys? if you do then they are doing well. One of the adults died and im not too sure why. My other one is fine and i have 10 6 month old fry which are quite big now so i shall be getting rid of most of them soon.
Neon Tetra Aquarist
Neon Tetra Aquarist - 7 years ago
Jack, Please be a little less 'direct' when talking to beginners like Carly, for you might scare them out of the hobby. I now you value the lives of her bettas as do I, but she needs to do more research (and yes Pink Pets has a lot of videos on this topic for beginners like Carly) and learn by trial and error. Female bettas can be aggressive, of course, but with lots of hiding places this can be... well, not avoided... but less of it will occur. I feel that being told that her tanks are not enough in that manner will not get your point across, which is also where most forums go wrong. Shoving information down ones throat does not teach them, but makes them more prone to failure and then quitting. Of course I would love for her tank to be a twenty long instead of a ten, but such is life
Jack smith
Jack smith - 7 years ago
Neon Tetra Aquarist I strongly advise a 20g long or bigger for a sorority. 10g sorority tanks usually do not work unless you get very submissive females, which is rare in bettas. She said one of her fish was getting old when it was almost a year old, which isnt that old for a betta considering they live for up to 5 years. Her fish also had stress stripes too. You're likley to have lots of fights in a 10g. 20g+ gives them more room to avoid confrontation.

Carly Lizards 10 gallons is too small for a sorority. Get a 20 gallon long or bigger with plants/hiding spots and you will have a higher chance of success. It could work in a 10 gallon but would likely be stressful.
Carly Lizards

Fluval Aquatics oh no we were thinking of a male in a ten gallon community and then a different 10 gallon sorority tank.
Fluval Aquatics

Yes we do have suggestions, as mentioned in the video, small species of corydoras (the albino corys are fine), smaller tetras and rasboras, platys would be perfect. We don't advise you mix a male and any females together in a 10 gallon tank.

Caren Hall
Caren Hall - 7 years ago
Bettas and goldfish aren't the best. Betta fish REQUIRE 70+degrees, goldfish generally require the water be cold and unheated. They can survive together, but as bettas and the guppies(not so sure about the others) will be much happier with warmer water and the goldies will be better off in cooler water they're generally not compatible.
CAUTION with the male and female betta in the one tank, even if it's massive. The female will need heaps of hidey holes and ways to get around an aggressive horny male when you turn up the heat. Male fish are well known to kill females when they aren't in the mood, females and males are usually only kept together for breeding and quickly seperated, breeding is vicious with these fish!
RvB betta
RvB betta - 7 years ago
Also if you were to 2 betta together what's the best way?
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
2 females can be kept together in a 5 to 10 gallon aquarium but you need plenty of structure and plants. Some females are more aggressive than others, you would be well advised to watch them closely in the beginning. Males need to be kept separately, their common name of the Betta splendens is the Siamese Fighting Fish, for good reason.
RvB betta

Are guppies ok to keep with Bettas cause I've put them together, and it seemed ok.
Fluval Aquatics
Fluval Aquatics - 7 years ago
Large finned male guppies are at risk from attack for male Betta spendens and baby guppies will be eaten by bettas. Adult female guppies should be ok with bettas.

A variety of different platys, some smaller tetras or rasboras can be kept with them. Do note that any livebearer babies, like you would get from a female Platy would be eaten by bettas.
Lacy Jinks
Lacy Jinks - 7 years ago

Fluval Aquatics

Lacy, that is an interesting one. While we would avoid any barbs when it comes to male bettas the Cherry barb is a very peaceful fish. If you want to try that combination they we strongly advise you to monitor the fish to see if the barbs are interested in fin nipping the male betta, if they are, you will have to isolate the betta.

If it is a small species of gourami and the aquarium is 10 gallons or more with plants and structure, it should be ok. As always, closely monitor the aquarium in the beginning to ensure the particular fish you have are not overly aggressive, they do vary in temperament.

It is pronounced BETTA bet-ta as in letter, setter, nettle, the name Etta, two t's after a vowel means the vowel is SHORT. This a rule of English pronunciation. To be pronounced Beyta it would need to be spelt Beta as in the Greek letter Beta. Americans may pronounce it differently....it's still WRONG not that that's likely to stop em.

Be careful though as honestly most tetras are nippers, I've had neons kill a betta of mine before, would not wish the same to happen to you. Neons just move too fast for the poor betta I've found (I'm not the only story I've heard with bettas being killed by tetras).
The only things I'd put in a betta tank are peaceful bottom dwellers like cories, and some select shoaling fish like celestial pearl danios. There's not many species I'd put with a betta as they either nip the betta, or the fish are too colourful and get killed by the betta.

I wouldn't. My glofish tetra has gotten a full grown female red cherry shrimp in her mouth before and ate the poor thing. If a glofish will do it I can't imagine a betta not. In my shrimp tank I keep cardinals, rasporas, and female guppies. The female guppies have been with them since they were fry and haven't ever bothered them, they swim right next to them. I'm not sure if it's because of the breed or because they were raised with them.

There are many beautiful female bettas. Instead of a male, you could put 1 or 3 females in a community tank. Just be sure that the girls you choose aren't too aggressive and to give lots of hiding spots if you choose to add 3 or more female bettas :)

It should be ok to keep angelfish with a male betta in a 54 gallon. Angelfish have relatively small mouths are more of a threat to small species. Hatchet fish are a surface dwelling species that can be considered. One male betta only is recommended, they are also commonly called Siamese fighting fish because males will fight with each other.

I have 2 platys, a guppy, an albino algae eater, a nerite snail, and 3 glo light tetras in a 10 gallon tank, all doing fine together!

Christina, sounds like a nice community. Our guess is that the albino algae eater may become a bit of a nuisance as it grows.

I just re-read my comment and forgot to mention that I also have a beta! No signs of stress, and no aggression...so far! It is a bit much, but at the moment everything is small.
