Yes. Even though you see them in tiny containers in pet stores, they actually enjoy wide open spaces and lots of fun things to go under, hide behind and just explore. They will live much longer if you keep them in tanks and I therefore highly recommend putting your fish inside this big tank of yours. They, however, can live happily inside smaller bowls, or tanks, but they will only live for 1 or 2 years.

If your betta is male, then he should remain as a solitary fish; you can add a few ghost shrimp, but male bettas are best left alone.

Betta's are solitary fish. But if you have a not-too-aggressive Betta then you can put him/her with some other community fish that don't have long flowing fins (Fancy guppies,etc.)

Male and female betta fish should not be kept in a tank together unless the tank is large enough for a female to escape attack, there is a partition or they are breeding. Males will kill the females. They are very aggressive and are not schooling fish.


Why is the male betta fish not fighting the other male betta fish?

beta fish are very territorial if there is plenty of room for both of them in a tank they will just leave each other alone and another reason is that they haven't had to compete for food


How do i know if my betta is a male or female without adding another betta?

A male beta fish blows a lot of bubbles. so if there are a ton of bubbles at the top of the bowl or tank, your fish is most likely a boy.
