Are guppies compatible with female bettas?

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.

Do bettas fight for weman?

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.


Can dachshunds swim?

GSDs swim brilliantly. But you should expose your pup to the water early and often, so they do not develop a fear or are apprehensive about getting in the water when they are older. GSDs like routine and they thrive off of their human leaders, so make sure you spend a lot of time socializing them, introducing them to new situations (like swimming in a lake) and pampering them with love.


Can bettas go blind?

Yes, bettas can go blind due to various factors such as poor water quality, old age, or genetic conditions. Signs of blindness in bettas include difficulty finding food, bumping into objects in the tank, or not responding to movement outside the tank. Providing a clean and enriched environment can help prevent blindness in bettas.

What kinds of fish can you put in a fish bowl besides a Betta?

Goldfish need a minimum of 30 gallons and are COLD water fish. Bettas need a minimum of 5 gallons and are WARM water fish. Both need a filter, but the betta also needs a heater. Bettas, like most other fish, like to swim around. A single betta needs a 6-10 gallon tank with a heater and filter for optimum health. Plants and caves make it more interesting for them and a couple of rasboras might work, depending on his aggressive tendencies. They can be kept with other female bettas, and can have other tank mates if they have room. Almost any fish that doesn't harass them would be fine as female bettas are peaceful fish. People tend to think they don't live long, but if they have enough room, clean water, and consistent temperature, they will be much less stressed and can live for a lot longer than expected. NO FISH SHOULD EVER BE KEPT IN A BOWL. The constant water changes are very stressful and do not make up for having enough room to swim and have plants and items to swim around and through. You could live in a large closet with 4 other people but I doubt you'd appreciate the quality of your life. Fish also enjoy moving around and having an interesting environment.
