Do betta fish really eat other fish?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, betta fish can be pretty territorial and aggressive, especially the males. They might snack on some smaller fish if they get the chance, but it's not like they're swimming around looking for a seafood buffet. Just make sure you don't throw a bunch of fish together and hope for the best. Like, that's just asking for trouble, man.

Answer 2

some beta fish are aggressive and will tend to attack other fish but depending one the environment you've had them in they wont. Like if they have been around other fish then no but if they were by themselves then yes

Answer 3

It really depends on what fish you got, I got 3 fishes in 3 separate 10 gallon tanks. My Blue Betta fish tries to eat my snail, my red, orange fish is playful in his tank but is curious about the snail and my fully red betta show fish does not attack it. So there you have it, it depends on the betta if it is TOO aggressive, it might try to eat it. By the way the snails in my tanks are used for cleaning up the poo they leave.

Answer 4

Answer 5
