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.
Can betta fish be moved from cooler water to warm water?
Bettas should be kept at around 78F and breed at around 80F. They are like all other fish in that any temperature change MUST be done SLOWLY. A sudden raising or lowering of their water temperature can kill them.
Can betas live with guppy's?
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.
Will the cold kill fish?
Most tropical fish are normally kept between 70F and 80F but some species will die if they are kept in water below 75F. Others will die if they are kept too warm and 70F will be too hot for them to live. Bettas will die if they are kept below 65F for long periods. For them to live a healthy and normal life span, Bettas need a temperature range of 75F to 80F
Can you mate betta fish in a bowl?

Can male bettas and female bettas live together?
Male and female betta fish should not be kept in a tank together unless the tank is large enough for a female to escape attack, there is a partition or they are breeding. Males will kill the females. They are very aggressive and are not schooling fish.
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
