Beta fish size up opponents before deciding whether it is an enemy it can beat or not. The male is the aggressive one, when a fish nearby has similar color or is the same gender, the beta will flash out its fan-like fins and open its gills, creating a deadly dance to try and ward off the enemy. If that doesn't work, the Beta will strike, almost never giving up, until he or the enemy is dead.

Will a male betta fish kill any other type of fish?

Yes, any fish smaller than it. Do not put it in a tank with tropical or saltwater fish because its not certain if it will attack, or even kill itself. Every betta fish is different, so I wouldn't take the chance. If you mix it with another male fish, they will attack each other to death. If you mix it with a female fish, they will mate.

Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself. But if you add another Betta to your current Betta fish's tank, then they will start a fight because Betta Fish are Siamese fighting fish and if one Betta is in contact of another Betta, the possible reason would be a fight between them two.
