Can Betta fish mate with Guppies?

Answer 1

I do not believe they can mate either but my male betta and female pot belly molly are very close friends!They hang out together most of the time.No they can't. Bettas lay eggs and mollies give live birth. It wouldn't work out in any shape or form.

Yes because I have a male

betta and pot belly molly and they mated they where the only fish I had she had half of them live and half of them eggs

Answer 2

This Betta species is a Bubble-nest builder. There are many ways to set up a breeding aquarium for the pair, and not enough room to supply details on them all. There are two popular ways to breed the Siamese Fighting-fish- in an aquarium specially set for the pair, which should be at a volume of at least 20 liters (5.2 gallons), and the Thai-way, which uses large Plant-pots. In any of these ways, the fish must be conditioned well before introducing the pair. Conditioning is made by feeding the fish live or frozen foods about two to three times a day, and making frequent water changes. Conditioning should take about two weeks at least, and can take up to one month, depending on the food quality and water temperature. The breeding set-up, in both ways, should contain lots of hiding places for the female, and some floating plants for the male to build its nest. If floating plants aren't available, you can use a halved Styrofoam-cup. Water temperature at the breeding set-up should be in the range of 28-30oC (82.4-86oF/ 301-303oK), and it is advisable to place a tight fitting glass-cover on top, so that the air above water will be hot and humid.

Answer 3

Males and females can get along fine if they are the only two fish in the tank but if a male and a male or female and female are in the tank with each other they will fight to the death until the most dominate of the two is the only one left

Answer 4

Yes as long as you watch them and make sure there not picking on each other. You just have to make sure that you have a tank big enough for them and that you have a heater and filter because mollies need it and a place for the betta fish to be able to hide in the tank. The rule of thumb for tropical fish like mollies is an inch of fish per a gallon of water it is in which means if the mollie gets up to three inches long at adult hood you need at least a three gallon tank for one but I would suggest at least a ten gallon if you want to put a betta in there as well and more if you want a few mollies. Also if you want male and female mollies you need 2-3 females for every male you have in your tank.

Answer 5

no, bettas and guppies are different breeds and thus will not be able to bread with each other

Answer 6

Simple answer is yes it can although it is not adviseable to do so. They do not come from the same water conditions in the wild so neither fish would be happy.

Answer 7

Yes, you can! It also depends on the accessories that you have in your tank. Research the required items/temperature of water for each fish. :) Hope I helped.

Answer 8

No they cannot.
Besides being completely different fish with very different needs, their breeding practices are even completely different.
