Usually Yes
I had a 30 gallon fish tank with 5 neon tetras, 4 cardinal tetras, 3 zebra danios, 2 swordtails, a dwarf gourami, a bunch of ghost shrimp, an otto catfish, and a red betta.
The betta didn't pick on any of the other fish, even the neons and ghost shrimp. It was highly peaceful and had quite an appetite.(Not to mention cute
As long as all the other fish
a. Are not long finned
b. Reasonably quick
c. Don't look like a betta(like guppies)
and the tank is
a. Large(like mine)
b. Not overcrowded
c. Well planted and filtered
The betta will be happy and get along fine with all the other fish
cos there bored in the bowl
No. Betta fish will attack each other no matter the sex.
So far, Betta fish attack any other fish it sees...
Male Betta splendens fight with other male Betta splendens so the answer is most other fish will not fight with a Betta in the same tank. To try to list every species of fish here would be impossible.
anyother fish, they only fight with each other
Surprisenly I had 2 male betta in the same 150 gal tank with other fish and had no problems. Other fish included gouramis,tetras,angels,cory cats
No, because they are fighting fish and one of them will kill the other.
no they will kill each other bettas are vicous
By not adding other fish? You'll be surprised that in most cases its the betta who is the victim. Betta is such slow swimmer and they have large fin, which makes them perfect target for fin nippers. Although, you can add bottom feeders such as Corydoras catfish into the same tank as a betta, they do not occupy the same level.
Most fish get along well. However, do NOT mix betta fish with other fish. Not even another betta. You have to have a permit to have to betta fish in the same tank with eachother. Betta fish are only mixed to mate. Bettas are not born in the egg. They come out as a very small fish. After the betta babies have come out, all of the fish are seperated. Even the parents, if the betta babies are left in the tank with the others the betta parents are very likely to eat the others.
There are over 20 members of the Betta family that I know of. They are all small fish and all have the same labyrinthine breathing system. None of them have the magnificent finnage of the common Betta splendens though. Other relations of the Betta are all of the other Anabantids including the Gouramies.
No. They will kill each other.
keeping multiple bettas in the same tank is not reccomended
