If I Moved The Guppies................

[Jozlyn]

If I moved the guppies to another tank, could I put my Betta in?

90lt
8 x Neons - anyone know how to sex these guys?
5 x Guppies - male
1 x Dwarf Neon Gourami - Male
1x Dalmation Molly - female (pregnant, I think)
4 x Bumble Bee Goby - and before you have a go at me about the Goby, go read the pinned topic in the Brackish forum about keeping gobies in fresh water.

No, neons are nippy, gouramis are related to bettas and are agressive as well, they are likely to fight. The molly is probably ok. The gobies I dont know, but really should be brackish despite what it may say on the brackish section. You could try, but I wouldn't risk it

 

[Jozlyn]

Nope not gonna risk it, I didn't know the Neon's were nippy too.

I know that the Gourami and Betta are related but I figured being such vastly different looking fish that they'd just ignore each other.

Ok into his own specialy set up 10lt tank he goes.

Yeah I would go with that. You could always have a slightly larger and get some cories or ottos to go with him. Some people keep them in communities and they all get along fine, but others will get total carnage. The betta and the gourami are both top level fish so will be fighting over the same territory as it were.

You forgot the guppies Zoe . The Betta would likely attack the guppies and the guppies would nip the bettas fins as well.

Sorry Monty, but the actual heading of the thread is If I Moved The Guppies................, he, he, he, so Zoe didn't forget about the guppies

Yep I didnt forget them as Jozlyn says that was in her title so she already knew about that
