NO!

Placing two male bettas within one habitat is a guaranteed fight-to-the-death, no matter how big the tank.

In an experiment conducted by a curious researcher, two male bettas were placed in a lake with plenty of room for both fish. Instead of separating, the two flared and began to fight vigorously. Call it male competition for the ladies, fight for survival, or flat out aggression, male bettas willfight!

Can you put two bettas in one bowl?

Not male bettas, not ever. Females can live together, but you'd have to make sure to give them both enough space. A "bowl" usually won't give them enough space. Even still, they can and will sometimes get into fights.


Do 2 female bettas get along?

Yes they will. Male Bettas will fight if they are in the same aquarium with another male Betta. Other than by separating them, there is nothing that can be done to stop them fighting. They have evolved over millions of years to do this. A Male Betta is OK with all other species of fish but he will fight another male Betta on sight. He will attack and kill a female Betta too if she doesn't spawn with him. Even if she does spawn with him, she will be killed as soon as spawning is over if she is not removed from his tank. Several female Bettas can be kept together OK. It is only the males that behave that way.

What to do when one betta fish is pulling other betta fish fins off?

If these are male Bettas they should never be kept in the same tank. Male Bettas (or 'Siamese Fighting Fish') are strongly territorial and won't tolerate the presence of another male. You can keep Bettas just about anywhere (a jar will do) since they're a labyrinth fish and can breathe air. Separate your Bettas.
