What else can I help you with?
Do betta fish eat any kind of plants?
Bettas shouldn't be fed plants, they are carnivorous fish and need lots of protein.
Can you keep female betta with male betta?
that would not be the best thing but all Bettas are different. a male betta is used to being alone. if you would like to do that, keep the tank in shallow water, about the depth of half your tank (about your finger height) and make sure they have a lot of room ideally a male betta should never be kept with any female bettas unless they are breeding as they 'supposedly' will attack and kill each other. However i have a male betta who has lived with 3 female bettas for 8 months and ive had no problems. he never flares at them, has never attacked them and vice versa. he will even sleep next to the smallest female.
What kind of betta do you have?
All store bettas are one species, Betta splendens. They just have different appearances the way all dogs are Canis familiaris. And the ones in stores are mutts, their offspring will be completely random in appearance. Betta breeders have developed strains that repeat colors and fin shapes.
What kind of Fish do not go with goldfish And betta fish?
Coldwater fish go with Goldfish (temperature under 70F). Tropical fish go with Bettas (temperature over 70F). Just make sure that you don't put any more than one Betta in a tank. So Bettas and tropicals don't go with Goldfish and vice versa.
What do you do if your betta doesnt like her food but you cant get a different kind?
Well, first check what kind of food you are feeding your betta. Bettas prefer pellets, but flakes are okay as well. If you are not feeding the betta these, then you have no choice but to purchase either flake food or pellets. If you are feeding your betta flake food or pellets and it's not eating, then it may be ill or depressed. Is it slinking along on the ground, hiding, not interacting with any other fish, or showing signs of fatigue? If so, then it may be sick, and that's why it lost it's appetite.
What are Betta's tankmates?
if you're talking about the safety of a male betta (the kind with long, flowing fins) with other fish in your tank...male bettas WILL attack most fish of similar size and appearance. But ive seen bettas go after fancy goldfish the size of tennis balls.also, be warned that a male betta is an easy target of fin nippers. the worst fin nippers are generally schooling fish like tetras and especially tiger barbs. ive also had bad expieriences with danios. when a bettas tail is bitten, his delicate fins can be ruined by painful fin rot. And he may fight back, especially if the nipper is smaller than him.female bettas are usually fine in a community tank. but, to be on the safe side, i would keep a male betta in a separate tank, maybe five gallons. you can really show them off that way.but in case you're curious, no, bettas don't really have natural enemies in the wild, just male-to-male fights.
What kind of fish flakes does a male betta fish eat?
They CAN eat most any nonvegetable flakes, but bettas are often food snobs like cats. Betta special pellets are better for them and more likely to be eaten, and their favorite food is usually bloodworms, live, frozen, or dried.
Do any other fish live like betta?
Bettas are part of the "Gourami" family of Anabantids. So yes. Gouramies evolved in very similar conditions in the same kind of areas in tropical Asia.
Can you put a betta with a different kind of fish?
no. the male betta will attack every fish it sees. and its to bad because the bettas are the most beautiful fish, and it would be nice to set up a tank of just bettas. but the true answer is no. but yes to a female betta. you can put female bettas with other fish. and sometimes you can put male bettas and female betas together. (i was assuming you were asking about the male betta)
What kind of live food is good to feed bettas?
Daphnia, mosquito larvae, and brine shrimp are good choices for bettas.
What kind of food can you feed your Betta if he will not eat the pellets or the flakes and lets them sink to the bottom?
There is betta food on the market, and if you should purchase this food the fish is not going to gulp this down right away. Bettas do not eat like we do, they go for days without eating it is best not even to try to feed a betta every day, one way to know if a betta is hungry or other fish is too watch them in there habitat, if the betta or your other fish are around the top and very active drop some food in, if they or it is just taking life easy do not feed them or it.
Do betta fish want other fish with them when they are alone?
You can do research to see which kind of fish work well with bettas, but they don't really get lonely. Whatever you do DO NOT put another beta in the tank! They will fight until one dies- you don't want that, right?
