Bettas And Guppies?

[-FighterFishh]

Once my female betta has died, I plan on getting a male in replace of her.
Before that, I'm thinking of buying a couple of guppies.
I was wondering if bettas and guppies mix well, or whether I should avoid buying some.
Thanks!

No you shouldn't. Male Betta's think guppies are other male betta's and will fight them.

Okay, thank you
Wouldn't want any casualties

Agreed...not a good mix. I think a betta is always best by itself.

sorry , no way it is just best to leave a betta in its own tank they are truly more happy that way.

Okay.

My dad is going to set up my old biOrb in the kitchen, and I'm going to leave 6 neons in there. Would it be okay to have a singular male betta in there with them?

To reiterate what has already been said. No. A male betta is best left alone.

i wouldn't keep neons with a male personally, i have found them quite nippy at times
