My Betta Fish,can I Put It With A Baby?

[kaykayy]

I just recently got a veiltail and a baby betta from Petco. I want to know if i can put the baby in with the adult betta? The adult is a little territorial..... and I dont know if the baby is a male or female. HELP!

Are you sure it's a baby Betta?

Anyways I would not recommend it at all, as Betta's are mean, especially to each other. Weather it's a male or female the baby should not be in the same tank as the adult, it will only end badly. If you put a divider in the tank (Assuming it's 5 gal or larger) than they could be kept in the same tank on different sides of the divider.

NO! the adult will most likely kill it male or female.

I had a female betta that burst her own stomach feeding on BN babies. If the baby is small enough to fit in the bettas mouth, it will eat it. If its too big for the bettas mouth, it will still try.
