How To Introduce A New Betta Fish To Your Tank Part 1

How to appropriately acclimate your fish to your tank. I also have some suggestions for tank mates for your Betta. Before adding any fish or invertebrates to your tank, make sure they are compatible and that you have a big enough tank. A single male Betta requires 2.5 gallons. Please check out these Betta websites for further information on Bettas: http://nippyfish.net/bettas-101/tankmates-for-bettas/ http://bettacare101.com/tankmates/

Only if has barbed fins witch is not common unless a catfish or Pleco what's best is to catch them in a little bucket no net or hands is best and net is better than hands unless that one case like I said

Ben Vincent-Innes using your hands is better than using a net because the fins can get stuck in the net and tear.

Ive had my betta for a couple of months now.I always catch him staring at me while lying on a rock, facing towards me. And as soon as I look he swims up lol. I think it's so cute. He also hates me taking a picture of him when he's staring at me. ( i try to take a picture from a far without him noticing) but when he notices my phone he gets up lol

My red veil tail and three cory's live in harmony. At first Alec chased the Three Amigo's and kind of spooked them, but realized that they keep his tank clean. I have one with a pleco (yes I know very random) and they seem to do fine, although Moss needs to move to a larger tank in a year or so, which I own. Snails are another option. I've had calm schooling fish with some before. So long as there isn't any bright colors or long fins.

try neon tetras but get 5-7 since they are schooling fish

but with a 10 gallon or larger tank... you could potentially with a 5+ gallon but it's not recommended.

lol did i say in "his new 5 gallon tank" ?? I meant her new 5 gallon tank...
Stormrage123
Stormrage123 - 11 years ago
It wont get shocked, just don't make the waters temperature too different from its old temp. I added my betta in his new 5 gallon tank from his 1 gallon right away. She was just fine. She ate the minute i put her in there.

You could get a few Cory Cats and possibly a dwarf frog. The Cory's would be could gravel cleaners. I would just try one at first and see how it does with the Betta. Some are more aggressive then others. I had to put my ghost shrimp in my goldfish tank because the Betta wound up eating a couple. Mine is very aggressive. Ghost shrimp are sold as feeders though so I guess it's not too horrible. Cories are recommended to house with Betta's but you just have to try and see how it goes.
