No, bettas and guppies are not the same thing; they are two distinct species of Freshwater Fish. Bettas, or Siamese fighting fish, are known for their vibrant colors and long fins, while guppies are smaller, colorful fish that are often kept in community tanks. They have different care requirements, temperaments, and breeding behaviors. Additionally, bettas can be aggressive, especially towards other males, whereas guppies are generally peaceful.

Do females betta fish fight guppies?
Female betta fish can exhibit aggressive behavior, but they typically do not target guppies specifically as prey.

It's best to provide plenty of hiding spots and space to minimize potential conflicts.
What kind of fish doesn't a male betta fish eat?
You can try to put Guppy fish in with your Betta fish. That would be one of the only fish that i would put in with my Betta fish. I say that because i have a Betta male and he is OKAY with guppies. the first guppy i put in his died to to getting picked on by him but the others did not, so just give him another chance if you decide to get guppies. Hope i helped!
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.

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.

Are young betta's aggressive I have a new betta around 6 months and want to buy guppies and i figured if they aren't as aggressive when they are young he might not eat them or kill them?
A six month old betta is already full grown and able to breed. As long as they're not fancy guppies with long bright fins they may be okay, some bettas are just more aggressive than others.
