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.
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.
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.

This behavior helps them survive in their natural habitat where resources are limited. Additionally, male bettas are especially aggressive towards other males as they compete for mates and territory.
Betta fish can flourish in a community tank, however because they are at times aggressive fish (males especially) correct pairing is crucial. Bettas usually get along well with neon or cardinal tetras, platies, mollies, guppies. Stay away from tiger barbs and cichlids, they tend to pick on or even kill bettas.
Yes, bettas are known for their aggressive behavior, especially towards other bettas. They are territorial fish and may exhibit aggression towards other fish in their tank. It is important to provide them with enough space and hiding spots to reduce aggression.
