Hi there. Sorry Iāve been away tending to my tanks for 2-3 weeks straight through a bacteria bloom as my tanks cycle, Iāve lost sleep, some work hours and community service hours, but all my fish are currently healthy.
So i have a black Betta with a couple adfs and some shrimp in a 20 gallon tank, and i thought it might be cool to have guppies for my frog to have live food to eat. I had blood worms and i think it might of killed one of my frogs.. cuz he loved eating them off the top! I also have 5 corys in a quarantine tank (one looks like sheās about to lay eggs so i donāt want to mess with them) , when they were together my Betta didnāt ever snip at the fish. He likes to check out the other fish but heās not aggressive by nature. Both my bettas have never had any problems being aggressive. Except when i had one in the quarantine tank with the corys, he got snippy after 3 or 4 days so heās in a tank with a Shrimp he can chase around.
So thatās being said, i donāt believe my black betta in the 20 gallon to be aggressive towards other fish. Heās a very social fish and loves for me to feed him.
If i find feeder guppies, will they blend into the tank enough that my Betta wonāt feel the need to be aggressive towards the guppies?
I truly believe bettas to not be very aggressive if theyāre trained To be gentle.
Opinions? Experiences?
Thank you so much!
