They actually do bite!!! I don't think they are poisonus so, it should be okay and they have pretty small mouths so I assume it will not hurt so much! You never really know because they eat blood worms and shrimp, but, I think it would be fine. Check with your fish supplier, though- just incase!!! Natalie01

Yes,they can.But only if you put two male or two female Betta fish together.One will try to kill the other,or at least badly injure it.But if you plan to breed,then you can put one male Betta and one female Betta together,since they are of different genders.Only a pair of Bettas that are the same gender will fight each other,since they are highly territorial.

Males will fight each other...that part of this answer is correct, but females will not fight each other...i have had 3 females in a tank together and they did not hurt each other. I asked my local pet store if they were ok to be together and they said yes. Therefore, if you do not believe me ask the individuals at your pet store!

Any fish can choke if they try to eat something that is too large. There are several forms of betta food; small pellets, granules or flake.

You should not fight your betta fish, as it's considered animal cruelty, and is therefore illegal. But male betas will attack one another if you put them in the same tank.

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.


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.

Why your betta fish run when facing other betta fish?

The Betta fish runs away when facing another Betta because its the first time facing another one. Or its just scared of it and doesn't want to fight since its not use to it and its a FIGHTING fish. But once its use to it the other Betta they well start getting up close to each other face to face and start ripping out each others fins out and basically trying to kill each other chasing each other around.
