What fish live with Betta?

Betta fish can flourish in a community tank, however because they are at times aggressive fish (males especially) correct pairing is crucial.

Can betta fish live in a big tank with other fish?

I've always been told that bettas should live seperately which seem rediculous because they don't live like that in nature. Yes, bettas can live with other fish. Male bettas can get along with plecos, some tetras, mollies, guppies (not the fancy sort), etc. They should not be put with fish that have long fins, nor should they be kept with fish nippers (like barbs). Males can not live with other bettas though. Female bettas can live with other female bettas (as long as there are more than two females since they have a pecking order). Female bettas can live with the type of fish I described for the male, as well. Just be careful with tank mates, and have a back up plan if the fish do not get along. Make sure each fish has plenty of space and love, and you should be fine. -Raz

Where does bettas live?

Contrary to common belief, bettas DO NOT live in tiny puddles or footprints. Bettas live in rice patties in the far east. These rice patties are the size of the drainage ditches along most major highways, and are stacked next to each other for hundreds of acres. Male bettas often claim entire patties as their territory
