Female Betta need to be in groups of four or more. They are aggressive and if you only have two, they will likely kill each other. If you have enough of them, the aggression is spread out and they can be relatively healthy and happy.
It is only a myth that female bettas will not fight each other - they are very territorial and can be as aggressive as the males. One will try to dominate the other. Try introducing them after a water change, and try to put them in the tank as closely to the same time as possible, so they don't become too territorial. It is not recommended to put them in a group of three as two may team up and pick on the third fish.
If you notice them fighting, just create a water current manually, as this will discourage the behavior, and after two-three days they should get along fine.
Provide lots of hiding spots for them! This will allow them to hide and rest when they need to.
Never mix male and female Betta outside of breeding a pair. Also, never tank multiple males together because they will kill each other.

∙ 15y agoSimple answer is yes. But as with all Anabantids, hidey holes and plenty of cover in the form of plant life are usefull in the case of aggression/bullying ect. What you should do if you are going to get two bettas is get two more. Two bettas will bully eachother, but with four or more they will set up a pecking order, or sort of family. One will have to be the dominant fish.

∙ 12y agoNo you CAN'T put two Betta of a different gender in the same tank.
2 Reasons Why:
- You will end up with a dead Betta. Betta can be extremely agressive (I have a mark to prove it)
- If they are not dead already they might spawn. You probably don't want baby Bettas, if you do you need to learn how to spawn them.\

∙ 11y agoNo - they are commonly known as bettas, but they are Siamese fighting fish. The only way that two males can be in the same tank (at minimum a 10 gallon) is if you have an opaque tank divider so they cannot see each other.

How long before you can put betta fish together?
Male Bettas can not be kept with any other members of the Betta family. They can be kept with other species quite safely but will not tollerate another Betta (male or female) in their vicinity. Female Bettas can be kept together OK.
Can betta fish live with other betta fish for a long period of time?
Only female Bettas can be kept together. That too will only work if they are given reasonably roomy conditions and plenty of cover (plants) and hidey holes. Male betta fish can/ will fight to death if there is another male fish in the tank, a male will sometimes eat a female so your best bet is to have a single betta or a female and a female.
Is your Betta fish a male or female?
male
Can betas live with guppy's?
No. Male bettas can be kept in community aquariums, but should not be kept with fish that look anything like they do, or are small enough to eat. A male betta will mistake a guppy for another betta and kill it. Female bettas, however, can be kept with other "betta-like" fish without a problem.
