Betta's are pretty good with other fish, it's rare that they will fight, maybe with other betta's
No. Male bettas can be kept in community aquariums, but should not be kept with fish that look anything like they do, or are small enough to eat. A male betta will mistake a guppy for another betta and kill it. Female bettas, however, can be kept with other "betta-like" fish without a problem.
Male bettas are known for their aggressive behavior towards other male bettas, particularly when defending their territory or competing for mates. They may engage in fighting by flaring their fins and displaying aggressive behaviors towards each other. In contrast, female bettas can generally coexist peacefully with each other, although some individual females may also display territorial behavior.
Yes, male bettas may attack and eat their own babies, especially if they feel threatened or stressed. It is recommended to separate the male betta from the babies after they have been born to ensure their safety.
Male bettas blow bubble nests as a natural nesting behavior, not only as a response to the presence of a female. The act of building a bubble nest helps them prepare for potential breeding opportunities and is tied to their instinctive reproductive behavior.
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. Male Bettas only fight with other male Bettas.
Bettas will eat baby guppys as will most other fish, but in general, male Bettas will only fight with other male Bettas. They do not fight with other species of fish
Male bettas are typically aggressive and territorial, so it is generally not safe to put them with other fish, especially other male bettas. It is best to keep male bettas in their own separate tanks to prevent any potential conflicts or harm to other fish.
tetras, and other non-aggresive fish
If these are male Bettas they should never be kept in the same tank. Male Bettas (or 'Siamese Fighting Fish') are strongly territorial and won't tolerate the presence of another male. You can keep Bettas just about anywhere (a jar will do) since they're a labyrinth fish and can breathe air. Separate your Bettas.
Male Bettas will only fight with other male Bettas. They do not fight with any other species at all.
Bettas and goldfish
No, for a number of reasons. Firstly, one goldfish needs at least 20 gallons on it's own. In addition, not only are bettas and goldfish not compatible, but their needs are different including foods and water temperature; Bettas are best as a solitary fish.
Male bettas are known to be aggressive and territorial, so it is best to keep them alone in a tank. However, some compatible tank mates for male bettas include peaceful fish like neon tetras, corydoras catfish, and ghost shrimp. It is important to monitor their behavior and provide enough space and hiding spots to prevent any conflicts.
Male bettas should be kept alone. Female bettas can sometimes be kept with other fish, but in a large community tank. Bettas need their space!
Bettas are typically aggressive and territorial fish, so they may not live peacefully with other fish in the same tank. It is important to research and carefully select tank mates that are compatible with bettas to avoid any conflicts.
keeping multiple bettas in the same tank is not reccomended
