Bettas are known to be aggressive and may not get along with other fish in a community tank. It is best to keep them alone or with peaceful tank mates.
Almost any community fish will do fine with guppies. Bettas are not a good idea with guppies because they will fight each other.
Male bettas should be kept alone. Female bettas can sometimes be kept with other fish, but in a large community tank. Bettas need their space!
Bettas will eat baby guppys as will most other fish, but in general, male Bettas will only fight with other male Bettas. They do not fight with other species of fish
It is a misconception that betta fish do not get along with other fish. While intolerant to their own species, bettas can get along with other fish so long as they are not easy to mistake for another male betta - such as fancy guppies - or fin-nipping fish like many tetras that often go for long-finned fish. Female bettas can be housed with guppies, however.
It is easier to say what fish Bettas do not get along with. The only fish a male Betta will not get along with is another male Betta. Bettas are slow moving peacefull fish and they get along OK with most species that are not too big (eg.some Cichlids) and are not known for fin nipping (eg. some Barbs).
No. Male Bettas only fight with other male Bettas.
Most any other community tropical fish, with the exception of any fish small enough for the beta to kill and eat.
betta fish like at least a 1 gallon tank (nothing smaller) > They can live in a community tank but with no other bettas.
No, it is generally not recommended to put other fish with bettas in the same tank as bettas are known to be aggressive towards other fish, especially those with long fins or bright colors. It is best to keep bettas in a tank by themselves.
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
Betta fish are known to be aggressive and may not get along with other fish in a community tank. It is best to keep them in a tank by themselves to prevent any conflicts or harm to other fish.
Male bettas are typically aggressive and territorial, so it is generally not safe to put them with other fish, especially other male bettas. It is best to keep male bettas in their own separate tanks to prevent any potential conflicts or harm to other fish.
