Betta Question

[chich]

hey just wondering what can you keep a male betta with? can it be kept with females?

if so how many..?

 

[Underwurlde]

Anything other than known fin nippers (i.e. go for passive community fish), other males (obvious) and I'd research females as I have read that they will fight each other too.

It's normally not a good idea to keep them with any other fish.

Ahhh......

My Betta seem OK with his tanks mates....

But whatever, these are personal opinions, Google it to further research your question as I did before purchasing one. 'tis all one can do really!

ok thanks

Oh, and I don't think they mix well with guppies because they may look like rival males...

Male bettas cant be kept with other males, they also cant be kept with females unless for breeding (but u gotta know what your doing) As for other tank mates, they can go quite well with corys and also nearly all plecs.

If you have a large enough tank, you could do a betta sorority - but you need 6 females minimum to keep them from killing each other.

Never Tetras, for they tend to nip and either way, most of them can look like males.
The biggest no-no is a male with a male or a female with a male, unless when breeding, which they still can't be kept in for long.

Generally you could have just looked at the Betta threads or this.\ If you want to look further into it read that.
