Female

[jakeroberts]

well i have had a few recent fish die in my tank i hve since cured the problem and i am wondering if i would be able to put a female betta in my filter throughs out a very strong current so i am unsure if that is alright also these are the fish she would be with 1 platy 1 swordtail 2 black guppies , 1 angel , 1 rainbow shark, 2 coolies loaches, and 2 apple snails and 2 neons plz respond quickly as i am leaving soon

gupyps and angels would be a problem IMO but you really should get more neons as the need to be in groups of at least 5

Yes, a female betta in amongst that community might be very stressed. How big is your tank? You need a minimum 10 gallon tank for 3 female bettas - and an even bigger tank for housing other fish (I don't know about the dynamics of how many of the other fish you need but I've read that guppies and tetras like to be in schools of 5 or more.) I think the rule of thumb is 1" of adult fish for every gallon of water. The filter current is also an issue... bettas in general don't like any water current but will do okay with a low current...
