Will a neon tetra and a cardinal tetra coexist with a male and female Betta?
The problem will not be the tetras coexisting with the Bettas. It will be the female Betta. She will undoubtedly be killed by the male. He may well spawn her first but afterwards, if she is left in his presence he will kill her. Also if he has ova or fry to look after he will kill the tetras in defence of his young.
Can tetras eat betta food?
No, tetras should not eat betta food as it may not provide them with the necessary nutrients they need for their health. It is best to feed tetras a diet specifically formulated for them.
Can neon tetras eat betta food?
Neon tetras should not eat betta food as it may not provide them with the necessary nutrients they need for their health. It is best to feed neon tetras a diet specifically formulated for them to ensure their well-being.
Can neon tetras eat betta food as their primary diet?
No, neon tetras should not eat betta food as their primary diet. Neon tetras require a diet that is specifically formulated for them, as betta food may not provide the necessary nutrients for their health and well-being. It is important to feed neon tetras a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods such as flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods.
Is it safe to put neon tetras with a betta fish in the same tank?
It is generally not safe to put neon tetras with a betta fish in the same tank. Betta fish are known to be aggressive and may attack the smaller and more delicate neon tetras. It is best to keep them in separate tanks to ensure the safety and well-being of both species.
Will 5 neon tetras and 2 cardinal tetras coexist with a male and female Betta and what size tank?
When a female Betta is introduced to a male Betta one of two things will happen. The male will build a bubble nest and try to spawn the female and during the courting time he will drive off any other occupants of the tank and kill them if they can not escape (hide successfully). He does this in order to protect his prospective young. If she fails to spawn he will drive her off and kill her if she is not removed. In other words you can not keep a male Betta with another Betta (male or female) without trouble. The Tetras will be perfectly OK with a Betta female OR a Betta male. Not the two (pair) that you are proposing. The general rule that all experienced and successfull aquarists live by is a fish needs 1 gallon of water per inch of body length. Work it out.
Can you keep Betta fish with Neon Tetra fish?
You can put at least 5 neon tetras with Betta's because neon tetras need to be in a school. If you only put 1-3 neon tetras, then they will probably be eaten by the Betta because you won't have enough neon tetras to be in a school. The purpose for a school is to protect themselves from predators with a group and if you only have 1-3 neon tetras, then they will hide and get really stressed out. So, get at least 5 neon tetras and another important thing is, get a big enough tank for your Betta and neon tetra. That is, because, as you know, Betta fish are territorial and need their own territory and if the neon tetras enter their territory (if the tank is small), then the Betta will probably attack (that is only if you don't have enough neon tetras and not a big enough tank). So, it is important to get at least a 10- 15 gallon tank and get at least 5 neon tetras for 1 Betta fish. 1-3 neon tetras won't work. They will not be in a school and will be stressed out and hide from the Betta. A thing about neon tetras that is interesting and is cool is that, neon tetras bury their eggs in the gravel (Make sure to only have gravel!) if their eggs are not going to hatch. Also eat them.~Thank you, and good luck!~
Is it safe to keep betta fish with neon tetras in the same tank?

How many Neon Tetras with a Betta in 4 gallon Aquarium?
You should only have 1 fish per gallon of water in a fish tank. I wouldn't put more than 2 or 3 Neon Tetras in a 4 gallon aquarium with 1 Betta.
What fish live with Betta?
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.
