No. if so the betta will kill the other fish, even the other fish being a betta. Not true... Goldfish will nibble on their lovely fins but I've seen Beta's get along ok with Cories, also little Neon Tetras. By the way, female bettas can only be together to mate, even after mating the male may kill the female. While bettas can live in harmony with other fish, and be fine in a five gallon fish bowl by themselves, the other fish need to be in a tank with filters and all that other stuff. Answer The recommended size of tank for a Betta is 10 Gallons (nominal). So the answer to your question is no. Your 5 gallon (nominal) tank would be actually holding about 4 gallons of water when it is filled to within 1 inch of the top. Add any more fish and you would be overloading the tank.
Well they might

∙ 11y agoA 5 gallon tank is great for one betta fish. If you would like more than 1, then you would be best to get either a tank that is pre-made with dividers, or a 10 gallon and buy dividers to add to it.

∙ 8y agoI wouldn't recommend it. DONT put another Betta in at all! I had a male betta and put him in with five other fish. He only let two out of the five survive. One was much bigger than him and the other one was an angel fish. He killed the other angelfish and popped their eyeballs out...very gross. Just beware.

∙ 12y agoI am sorry to say, but no fish can go in with betas. They are very territorial and will most likely hurt the other fish. Try this. Put a mirror up to the tank. The beta may throw itself at the tank and try to attak its mirror image.

∙ 12y agoYes, but since they are very aggressive fish they can only live with a preferably smaller fish/fishes that is calm. they should also live in a bigger tank and there should not be too much fish in it with the betta.

∙ 14y agoYes they can live with many other species of fish except for their own kind...they fight.

What Can kill a betta fish other than a betta fish?
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.
How much does it take for a betta to accept another fish?
Bettas are dumb as rocks. If you put another betta, any other anabantid like a gourami, or any long-finned fish in with a betta, the betta will fight it because he will think it's another betta. If you put a short-finned fish in with your betta, they'll live together peacefully.
Can Commit fish breed with Betta fish?
No, Betta fish are aggressive toward any other fish they see. They cannot mate.
Can you breed any other fish with a female betta fish?
The simple answer is no.
What fish can live with betta?
Even though petstores and people say that bettas cant be with other fish or they will fight to the death, they are wrong. The best fish to put them with is one that looks nothing like a girl betta or a boy, one that swims fast , ones that are bigger than the betta, or ones that are not agressive. But girl bettas can live together or with any other fish that is nonaggressive.(Males cannot be together!) So dont put your betta fish alone in a bowl, put it in an aquarium so it can live a long happy life with other fish. There is probaly a 30% out of 100% that they can live with any nonaggressive fish. (But if you see any aggressive behavior with the betta take him out!)

What fish will live with a male betta in a 10 gallon tank?

What plant do the betta fish live in?
Betta fish live in rice paddies. The misconception that the Betta live in a small amount of water it's whole life has spread wide. A Betta actually only lives in small pools of water during the dry season when it is forced to by receding water levels. Also like many other fish a Betta in captivity would enjoy the protection of almost any aquatic plant.

Can you put another fish with a male and female beta?
no because the male and femalebetas are the type of fish that live alone. therefor since their opposite sex then there is a chance of them being OK with each other, so if there is another fish with them then they will attack it and eventually killing each other.
What fish can a betta stay with?
" They can't stay with any fish! DON'T TRY IT! Male bettas will kill the other fish and females might too so don't try it just keep your betta by itself and don't worry about them being lonely. They are solatairy fish, they don't get lonely. If you want more than one betta fish in your bowl get wo females to live with each other but don't put males together or don't pout any other fish with bettas. thanks, ~LilyLove5
