If the guppies are small enough the Betta will eat them.
Female betta fish can exhibit aggressive behavior, but they typically do not target guppies specifically as prey. While both species can coexist in the same tank, it’s important to monitor their interactions, as female bettas may still display territorial or aggressive behavior towards other fish, including guppies. It's best to provide plenty of hiding spots and space to minimize potential conflicts.
No. Male bettas can be kept in community aquariums, but should not be kept with fish that look anything like they do, or are small enough to eat. A male betta will mistake a guppy for another betta and kill it. Female bettas, however, can be kept with other "betta-like" fish without a problem.
In most cases, it is not recommended to keep guppies with female bettas. Female bettas can be quite territorial and may perceive the guppies as intruders. This could lead to aggression and potential harm to the guppies. It's generally best to house guppies with other peaceful, non-aggressive fish species.
If you can get a female of the same type as the male you have, that is best, but any female Betta will spawn with any male Betta provided they have the correct conditions and are both ready to breed.
It's best to only put male and female betta fish in the same tank/bowl if you are breeding them. If they are not breeding and they still stay in the same area, the male would most likely attack the female, so keep the female away! Also, if you are breeding betta fish, make sure to remove the female betta after she lays her eggs, as the male will care for them and chase the female away.
Only female Bettas can be kept together. That too will only work if they are given reasonably roomy conditions and plenty of cover (plants) and hidey holes. Male betta fish can/ will fight to death if there is another male fish in the tank, a male will sometimes eat a female so your best bet is to have a single betta or a female and a female.
Yes. I have 2 newts and a betta with them! I am typing beside them! They are fine together.
gold fish! is a bad idea. gold fish need colder water to thrive than guppies do. (guppes need somewhere in the upper 70s) it depends on the fish. I've been told angel fish are aggressive to guppies because of their flashy tails, but my angel fish did just fine with my guppy. i have a molly, a Chinese algae eater, a kuhli loach and guppies in my tank. they all seem pretty happy :)
Only guppies breed with guppies naturally.
The white dot means she is ready to breed. The white dot is where the eggs come out of. If you are in Chelmsford, MA, stop by Fins&Feathers Pet Store. They are the best! Just tell them Erin sent you. :)
The simple answer is yes. Just remember the golden rule 1 inch of fish needs 1 gallon of water.
Guppies are a community fish and are best kept in odd numbered groups with more females than males; for example, a group of 3 guppies with 2 females and 1 male. The reason for a higher female to male ratio is because males will fight with each other for matting rights to the females.
