My New Betta Attacked And Killed.....

[-L-O-T-T-E-]

One of my pygmy cories last night....

Is this normal? and is my other one likely to get it?

Well you got to remember man. Bettas are extremely aggressive. They CAN get along with other fish as long as there not colorful. But not all Bettas are the same. It would be best 2 remove your other cory but its up to you. how big is your tank

Bettas personalities differ vastly and tankmates ( of which there aren't that many suitable to begin with ) must be added with great caution.

As you have now found out your betta is clearly very agressive, you should immediately remove or re-home any remaining cories, because he will invariably do it again.

Also, if you do have another tank to move the remaining cory to, you really must get more of them. Pairs and singles are no good at all as cories are shoaling fish, who do best in groups of at least 4, preferably 6-8 or more if you have the space.

Yea it goes back too what i said. Bettas can get along with other fish. The key word is CAN ive had 4 betta fish and only 1 of them worked fine with other fish the others just nipped at them until well you know. good luck with everything man
