can you keep 1-2 female bettas with guppies and corys?

how bigs the tank? and i think if you have females you have to keep like 6 so the alpha one doesnt beat one up to baddly. or 1 is fine.

You MIGHT be able to keep guppies if your bettas dont attack them. and corys should be fine.

depends on tank size, yes to corys, never kept with guppies before but if you have a 15gal or above, should be fine. keep a min of 4 betta females together.

I have 1 female guppy in with a group of 10 girls in a 180 ltr tank, and she just follows them around. They don't harm her, she doesn't harm them. My girls are all pretty laid back though, so I don't know if it would work every time.

LilyRose, it's best to keep them in groups of 4-6+ so that the dominant female doesn't just beat one of the others up constantly. It helps spread her aggression through the rest of the group and therefore reduces the risk of any of the other females from being injured badly.

Ah ok, I am planning on putting 4 females into a 90L tank with pygmy cories and peppered corys, a few platy fry too....but when grown these will be shipped out to lfs
