Can you cross breed a guppy with a platy?

Answer 1

yes, sometimes you can. It just depends on how mellow your betta is, and if you have enough planting in your aquarium so the platy can hide ( just in case). I would also recommend you get more than one platy, again just in case. For the most part though, they should get along pretty well, just keep in mind that no matter what you put in with a male betta, it won't like it, they like to be solitary. I hope this helped!

Answer 2

bettas can live well in large tanks like 20gl, just as long as there is only one male, and no other fish in the aq. that will nip at their long fins. Answer

My Blue female betta lives quite nicely with neon tetras and bronze cory, as well as the platies. I have another female betta that has really tore its tankmates up, though. Have plenty of plants to hide in, then introduce the betta using the usual bag float technique. Fill a small container with water, keep your net handy and let her out and watch. If she nips the platies , take her out immediately. If she doesn't, keep your eye on her for awhile. Platies are pretty tough. Be careful introducing a betta to smaller or sensitive fish. Male bettas can sometimes live in a community aquarium, but don't count it.

Answer 3

They are completely different species. They can not be cross bred naturally. There are of course unprincipled biologists who could artificially do so as they have in the case of the Parrot Cichlids.

Answer 4

Yes! Betta fish and Platys are a compatible fish.

Answer 5

No, please don't do it. 3 gallons isn't enough for anything.

Answer 6

You could, but I generally recommend against keeping a betta with any other types of fish. They do best as a loner in their own small tank of at least 5 gallons.
