- Can you keep MALE and FEMALE bettas together? Since many of you were interested in how I keep my WILD betta Mahachai together I thought I would talk a bit about our domesticated betta splendens. The short answer is ..NO.

![Female Betta Sororities [keeping multiple female bettas together] Good or Bad?](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ISYSRU4N5Zs/mqdefault.jpg)
I see many people ask about this often...so I thought I would talk about why you should NOT keep male and female domestic betta splendens as well as males and males together. Keep your fishy friends safe in their own tank or behind a sturdy divider! :D
Creative Pet Keeping is there a way I can send you a picture of my Betta to find out for sure what type of Betta I have.
Graceful Kreations try a forum
Creative Pet Keeping hey I have 3 bettas temporarily in my 5 gallon tank. All of them are juveniles but the male is the oldest. The females are fine with each other but the make won't stop chasing the females around. He is in a net right now and I don't want to keep him in there and I want them to be stressed until there old enough to go in the 55 gallon. One of my female keeps getting stress stripes. Please help me
Creative Pet Keeping I put my halfmoon female in the tank with the male and the male keeps making its fins or whatever big what do i do?
Lost_ xBoy All he's doing is flaring his fins to impress the female to become mates. Unless he has a bubble nest and the female has eggs, they aren't ready to breed. It would've been better for the male to be introduced to the female so the female won't be too stressed
Not suggesting anybody do this but when i was younger I had rescued two beta's (males) and kept them together. They lived together and lived the maximum lifespan of a Beta. Sometimes you luck out and sometimes you don't. If you cant resist yourself, pick betas that are the least aggressive to the others in the store. Dont pick the 'pretty beta' who is flaring at all the others if you dont want it to die
I have a female beta and a male beta living together ... they were grumpy until I introduced four guppies for distractions plus ghost shrimp and snails... now they’ve mated twice and when I turn on the light in the morning they were sleeping together in a floating log
How you do that. Plz tell me plz😊
@@Sajedur222 just put clear divider for a month or two. If you look at them and chill not flaring. It's a go. Just make sure you used atleast 20inch long tank.
I have betta living in one aquarium.
In a 20x8x8 with both ends have hiding place and planted.
My red Veitail Male Betta does not fight with my other fish (guppies,mollies,platies.tiger barbs) as long as they give him their lunch money!
What conditions are needed to keep ur betta with those othet fish
@@LaZanyarr Same!
@@LaZanyarr in my case , I got the smallest Betta that I can so he grows up being peaceful in a community tank .
My tank is a 55 Gallons though but I have plenty of 🐠
I currently have 5 male and 5 females along with 2 angel fish 4 barbs all in a 55 gallon tank. Lots of plants and hiding places. No issues with them fighting. They sometimes flare up but no one pays each other any mind.
Sunny is gorgeous! Our 3 yr old betta recently passed and I'm looking forward to getting a new one.
I absolutely love your videos Kasha! I’ve been watch for about 2 years now and I’ve never been disappointed! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
OMG another video!!!!! Yay!!! Great video really good history and reasons of betta. LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH!!!!!! Great job Kasia!!!!👍👍👍👍
I tried my first spawning..they fell madly in love and “did it” immediately I saw the eggs dropping and they were picking them up..everything was going perfect so I left them alone for a couple hours to do their thing. Long story short I came back and the female murdered the male like damn she tore him to pieces😳. I’m good no more spawning for me✌️❤️
💔
i know im late to the comment but basically as soon as they lay eggs you have to remove the female.
@@antonis_geo1010 also dosent the male have to actually fertilize the seed, so if there is no male after the eggs the whole egg batch goes “dead”
You’re literally so cute and i love your channel so much. Thanks for all the great info always 💕
Just like being a new student in a class thanks for the tips sunny and the pleco is cute 😍😍😍
Omg!! I love these type of educational videos!!!
Thanks so much for this video! This helps some of us so much!
Cats and dogs and betta's living together, MASS HYSTERIA!
Love the vid! You inspired me to get a betta!
Good info. Thanks for sharing.
I have four females and one male together in a tank and they get along just fine. It is heavily planted though and this keeps them from being in each other's face all the time.
Yo its so cool how her camera follows her head 🤔
Great video. Good information. Thank you so much kasia
Love all you videos! You always make my day!
Awesome video, thanks so much
Me again! I would LOVE to see a video all about wild betta care, and which betta species are best for keeping in groups or pairs! I'm setting up a black water bio tope and I'm really considering wild bettas, I think a pair would be fantastic but also wouldn't mind just having one. Would love to hear all your info on wild types!
Petition for betta breeders to work together and breed a mostly passive betta:
Would be nice, but you'd be breeding against nature's design. I think you might even end up with an altogether different fish. Not impossible, but very difficult process.
Its something I always wondered about... selectively breeding for a less aggressive fish for the pet hobby.
@@elfiefromangelcity6142 But the amount of aggression isn't in NATURE'S design, but HUMAN'S design. We probably would have to sacrifice all the specific color variations and tail types, but we can breed those back. Besides, everyone loves mutts lol.
@@CreativePetKeeping *Due It* lol
I second this
I love your channel keep it up I love your fish keep it up
Awesome video, can you do a video on betta breeding history, like how it started and for how long.
Love your channel!
ive got a young female red bettta in with a huge blue crowntail male and they are good,in a 30 gal and she takes a floating nest on one half and he keeps his nest on the other side, he is a gentleman and comes to flares to her then runs to his nest trying to get her to come into it, over and over. most of the time they just chill in their nests or and often they let the other swim around at leisure. they aint stressed any more than the lonely betta in a 1 gal, probably less since they get some social time. neither ever seems scared, if they chase, if one stops they dont nip or hit the other, they just stop and get some air then go their own way
Thank you so much! I literally bought a male and female… now I will divide them before putting them in the tank! Some store sellers do not don’t care to explain this!
Actually, I bought 2 bettas which were in one cup, thought they were females (thought they could live together) because I didn’t check it well, but they were males, and I was shocked that the people there put them together. I just tried to keep the together, and it worked. They never flare nor attack each other, (I only see them flare together at the other fish), they had sorta became friends? But sometimes, I still feel worried, but they are actually alright, great vid tho 🐠
OMG seriously
I work at a petstore and one time my manager told a lady she can put a male and female together in a 3.5 gallon tank. I was like "really!?!" i was so upset his response was "well how do you think baby bettas are made?" In a very douche bag way. I was only a cashier at that time but wish i could have taken those fish away
Out of curiosity: did you happen to become the manager at the pet store?
I have a male and female together and they like each other a lot
In some of my cases, i keep males & females together. they dont even care about each other! its like the male thinks the female is just some random fish passing by! Only in some cases, you can keep bettas together. I understand that bettas can be in high stress when kept together, but that only happens if the tank is overstocked or one fish is aggressive. But when i change my water, the male gets REALLY aggressive. is it because he was in stress and he forgot about the passing females? Or was it his natural instinct to breed during the "rainy season?" BTW, I keep my betta SPLENDENS in pairs, not sororities.
I don’t know,my male doesn’t what so ever react to the female....But the female reacts a lot to the male
My female and male Betta are romancing in the night in morning both begins to stare us creepy when there is nobody there romancing
I’ve had betta’s for over 20yrs and I put male and female together with tetras and African frogs, they all live happy and healthy with live plants and real food not flake so I don’t know why people keep saying that you can’t?
What's the minimum tank size you would recommend? I've kept them together in the past before but that was with a 40 breeder.
I put my male with my 2 females because he has more of a guppy personality and I tried keeping him alone but he was way too sad so I got him some guppies and his personality started showing so I tried to experiment with the females and one female in there was more dominant than the other and the other has a guppy personality too but I still have a quarantine 20 gal just in case it doesn’t work out but they all have kept their personalities and the only difference that happened was dominance from me adding him to the female tank but it only lasted for a few minutes then they went back to normal and my bettas have been happier than they were in separate tanks.
Yes, I knew the risks and I was more than prepared for fin nipping and attacks and I stayed up all night making sure they were fine. If anything happens in the future I have the ability to separate them.
A betta acting like a guppy lmao yeah... No...
Very useful
Congrats on 90k subs💕
Thank you so much!
Very informative video mam. 😊😊😊
I have had a male & female in a tank together for about a year. I was going to move her to a 5 gallon. My question is if she has alot of eggs in her already. What will happen once she is in the 5 gallon?
I did it, I don't know how I made it done. In fact, I didn't know anything about Bettas. Just started keeping them in recent past. Started with a male Vailtail Betta in jar. Later planned to keep him in a 10 gallon with more few. So, bought more 2 male and 5 female Bettas. Initially they tried to fight with each other, but gradually when they established the chain of command there are no more fighting. Presently they are happily staying together.
Please do an update on your koi spawn:)
You can keep males and females together as well as other males you just need a big and well planted tank I managed to keep my 2 females and 1 male in the a community tank I have is big enough and none of them really care but I do not recommend doing so especially if it's a small tank
Murry Bubbles how large is your tank?
How large is your tank
I think you need a 75 gal so the male has 50 gal to him self.
I have three very peaceful female bettas all about the same size. And I have a heavily planted 10 gallon with chili rasboras in it. Could I try to put the three of them in it together since it’s so heavily planted and there are other fish in there? Thanks:) I’ve had bettas a long time just never tried to put them together
So, I have a quick question if that’s alright. So, I got a new female betta from Petsmart. I already had a male betta for about a year, both of which are veiltails. I got a 10 gallon tank that I put a divider into. After the female settled, I put my male into one side. I put the female in a breeding container in that same side. ( the other side was for when they finished, I had a good place for the female. And the male has lived in a 20 gallon btw. ) so I left them in over night, and when I woke up, the female was fine. I waited one more day and night to make sure. So I put the female into the tank with the male after that night. They did not really fight, the male nipped the female a little, and I knew that was normal. The female would hide in the cave, on the bottom of the tank, behind a couple rocks and plants too! All normal. So I took her out, put her in the breeding container again, and released her the next day. ( the male had a bubble nest ) so this went on for a whole week! Nothing happened. So I put the male back in the 20 gallon tank, removed the divider in the females tank, ( 10 gallons ) and decided to try again later. I still have not tried again. Now, I don’t know if it’s cause they are older bettas, or pet store bettas, but I was just wondering for if I try again. And the female did have eggs I’m quite sure, she was quite round and big near her mouth and the start of her stomach areas, with little white dots. She had breeding stripes when I released her out of the container. So, have any ideas why it wouldn’t work?
Thanks!
I think you should definitely try it again but the male might be too old😂give them the whole 10 gallon
I will be honest I have a tank fully planted with a male and female betta for a long time now and they do great and swim together and never fight.
Space and hiding places are key
in y tank I have bone female that tends to swim back and forth as if she sees something she doesn't like and she has stress stripes on her but there are 3 other females in with her and 4 platies and 5, white cloud Minos, what should I do if anything.
I really love your videos and follow several of you great fish youtubers. I have a question about how long to keep the breeding pair together before giving up and trying again later. I have been conditioning them for 2 weeks.. Feeding them bloodworms, brine shrimp and a mix of good pellets. I had them in a divided 10 gal tank while I conditioned them. I put him in the breeding tank first.. Then floated her for an hour or so.. Then released her. He is making a nest and flaring at her but he is not very aggressive.. And she mainly ignores him. Lol. I floated her over night last night bc I didn't want anything to happen while I was sleeping. I released her back into the tank this morning.. Gave them both bloodworms (idk if I shld but didn't want them to be hungry). I put them on opposite end of tank from nest and suck out the uneaten ones carefully. She eats like a pig but he barely eats. Breeding tank is a 5 gal filled a little more than half way. This is such a fun experience for me and my kids.. Any advice or videos you cld point me to wld be great. I've probably watched hours of footage already. Lol. Should I just leave them alone (but watching) until they spawn?
My favorite method is to release them at night. Turn the lights off and check back early in the morning and they should start to spawn. Bettas can get easily distracted by humans so sometimes they do best when left alone for a little. If they dont get along the male or female will be hiding in the morning. It also helps to put them together on a rainy day. It makes them think its the rainy season and triggers spawning. I hope this helps!! ❤👍
@@CreativePetKeeping Thanks for replying.. I did cover 3 sides of the tank last night and left them alone. They seem to be getting along well but I don't think the female is ready maybe. Either that or I'm intruding on them too much as I don't want to not be around if a fight breaks out. Neither of them seem overly aggressive tho. Anyway.. Hopefully they will do their thing.. We'll see.. Thanks again.
Hi,
Your videos are very informative.
I have a doubt ,
I had a female full moon betta.she was a huge and healthy fish .but one day her stomach become very bulged and it looks like it would burst any time.and she died.what would be the reason for this? please answer my question mam.
I have a community tank with a double tail male betta in it (20 gallon) I recently introduced a female betta 2 weeks ago. They’ve been doing fine he flares at her and then swims away and she just swims around without a care in the world. And he just stays in the plants and decorations all day.
What about now
What would your thoughts be on keeping a male female pair of wild hybrids with one of lifewithpets solid black dividers? I plan on buying a male female pair (not for spawning, only viewing)
but why my betta male and female is keeping for the same tank for last 5 days and nothing happen they cross their path without fighting each other... how this happen???
because betta isolation is a myth. its all about environment. your tank is probably big enough that they dont feel like they are in competition with each other.
Just bought a crow tail Betta yesterday male and thinking about putting a female in there too. Or 2-3 guppies?
Ive had a betta fish named Kālai for a while now and yesterday i seen a female that looked exactly like him color wise (red fins and tail, white silver body) and i got super excited so i splurged 4$ on her named her Ākala and plopped her in his 20 gallon tank. I was hoping for some advice on what i should do. Im looking to possibly mate so i dont want to separate them but i do have to take her out of the tank to make sure she eats and Kālai doesn't steal all her food
They did what?!?! 😂 Your content is fine IMO❣️ It’s just an advancing levels of keeping bettas that’s controversial with lack of high successful rate of keepings. Most of us start off keeping a male before we advance to keeping groups years later if our interest sticks to it. Bettas are intelligent fish and they each have their own persona and wits giving their owners different levels of experiences. It really depends on the fish. Get to know the fish and you can open doors for a betta to live better in an enriching environment vs solitary. I’ve had rare keepings of a male with a sorority siblings with an establish hierchy and a female with a male in a community tank but before that they were living in a pond so lots of space. Anything is possible but it’s up to the fish. How well a fish is socialize also makes a difference. How you setup can make an impact so the bigger the tank the better. Most of us start off buying bettas in a cup bc only the big Stores carry them and it’s that way. A good number of those do not have the socialization to live in a community of any kind of tanks plus if it’s an adult already set in its way of the pet store life there’s not much you can do for it except setup single living and try to work with it. Sometimes these guys have it so bad they have no idea how to eat unless it’s a pet store pellet so it can take months before they even learn to eat live foods and get their instinct to hunt and get some meat on their bones. Living in a cup they don’t get to eat much at pet stores and they stay longer in holding for sale is the problem vs bettas in a running tank like other fishes are kept for sale. Buying bettas from small LFS that actually keeps their bettas in running tanks with other fishes is still rarely available to most hobbyists so success rates of keeping is even more unlikely for an average fish keeper starting out or staggering for years to advance in their hobby or lose interest all together. I’m not saying all big pet stores are bad bettas..I’m just saying keep in mind what conditions your fish came from and be mindful working with them. Success rates varies on multiple aspects. Fish stores that keep their bettas in tanks sells out really fast. Most of these are somewhat well socialize since they have lived with or seen other fishes and snails lol. You still need to work with them after bringing them home of course. There’s a bit of a demand so getting into this part of the hobby, know that hard core folks willing to throw down for fish will buy the whole shipment bag right out of the shipment box upon unboxing so sometimes there can be a wait for as long as a year for certain fish bc you may never see it go on sale pass the first guy.To get the pick of the spawn you have to be willing buy the whole bag right then and there and be willing to absorb dead sickness and all. So make sure you get there early on arrival day. If you do, make sure you have plenty of cycled healthy tanks ready to pull the trigger and equip to treat your own fish. Price point these stores are usually cheaper, healthier fish and best of all they have already quarantine and meds given if it made it out of unboxing. So success rates is higher for hobbyists starting out.
Then how do they mate ? If u keep them apart
I have a question im a new breeder for bettas but i need to know if i can keep my to koi betas together over night while breeding they are a pair
How do you get the betta peacefully with fancy guppies and endlers? All my petstores say that they will nipo eachothers fins
my betta veiltails nail is sunny too! my son named him lol
But if you can’t put male and female together how do you breed them because I have a male and a female my females name is ocean and my males name is fireball and I really want to breed them together
You can breed them but it's very dangerous, if you want to I recomend doing research before throwing them in a tank together and hoping for the best, as that could go really bad and the male could end up killing the female. But it doesn't mean you can't breed them it's just kind of a whole process, so I wish you luck .
You have to put the female in a little jar or small tank and put her (while still inside the jar or tank) inside the males tank and leave them for 2 days (the more the better) because this way the male falls in love with the female, then put the female in with the male without a divider or a jar or small tank and leave them.you should put a half of half of a styrofoam cup; so cut the cup longways and then cut half of that. Then the bettas will put the eggs there, once the eggs are there take out the female and leave the male and the male will care for the eggs and will eat the ones that don’t work, once the baby bettas are born the male will bring them to the bottom or half of the tank so they can swim up to their surface and learn how to swim (this might look like he’s eating them but trust me he’s not). Feeding the baby bettas is the hard part and you’ll have to research that.
best way is in a bucket. i like the round shallow ones you get at the auto parts for oil changes. fill it with dechlorinated water to about half. tape a small 3x3 inch piece of bubble wrap so that it stays floating against one side of the bucket. then boil and add a few catapa or Indian almond leaves till the water turns a light tea color. put the male in. then place the female in a cup and put it down in the water so that they can see each other and get used to the idea. feed both of them live food, daphnia or baby brine shrimp. once you see the male start to create his bubble nest under the bubble wrap piece, you can release the female into the main water. keep a watch on them for the next 10 hours. once the female is finished releasing eggs, remove the female immediately, as she will eat the eggs, and the male will attack her to protect them. a few days later the eggs will hatch. leave the male in for another day or so, as he will help with babies swim and stay in the nest (it looks like hes eating them, but hes really just sucking them up and spitting them back out into the bubble nest.) once all the babies are swimming good, you can take the male out and start raising the spawn on live microfood, brine shrimp is easiest to culture but you can also grow daphina. good luck.
nice aqureim tank
My two beta fish a tiny female and a big male were in the same tank but they had something in the middle splitting them apart well my tiny one could fit through the side and I almost had a heart attack I had to put my hand in and put her to the other side I’m getting her a new tank now :( I was so scared
I keep a single male with about 9 females and that are all happy 🤷🏿♂️
I started with other fish like guppies and Molly's and that got the mail used to being around other fish before I introduce the female betas
@Jade Grenade I've had them all together for months and they're not fighting at all I have real plans and I guess there's plenty of space
Question concerning male betta tank next to female betta tank. Had female several months and before I got male she seemed 'eggy' already. First night having new male he's already made a bubble nest for his lady. I suppose mating is a future possibility as they show more interest than aggression through tank glass. But does it cause either one of them stress without a divider? I put a paper between them one night but the next morning he seemed more agitated that he couldn't see her. Don't want to be reading body language wrong.
When ever I get my Bettas I get peaceful ones . I only have 1 betta who cannot be with females my other males don’t care a bit about the girls but I keep them in really big tank :)
What if this was in a 45 gallon, would that still be to small to try a male and a few females
Im anew fish keeper and have a female vinetail betta and male betta and there cages are right next to each other for few weeks. My betta made a nest so I put them together and nothing's happening
I have a male and female in the same tank but I have a divider
can we add guppies in a tank without oxygen pump please tell
dose the AC affect Bettas .
I have a 20 long comunity tank with 3 dalmation mollys, 6 painted platys, 1 4inch angelfish,1 dwarf gouromi I want to put a male betta in there i have done lots of reacherch and and I know bettas can be kept with platys mollys and angelfidh but there are mixed reviews in keeping them with dwarf gouromis now my tank is a little overstocked but I have a 40g sponge filter and a 50g hang on back filter so 90g of filtration my tank is 4 1/2 times filtered
my breeding pair of betta lived together years ago though
My Betta's live together now.. The only aggressive behavior I see is from the Karen's hating me for allowing it 😆
i have a 54 gal tank, its very large with may places to hide and take as territory, i have a male and female, the male doesn't bite her rather fastly swim at her and changes direction, i feel he doesn't wanna result to violence or something?... i do have guppies in there ( a few other semi-aggressive fish but they don't mess with the bettas ) sometimes i think the guppies mistake her for another one sometimes they follow her and take a better look and goes to an actual guppy ( my betta fishes names are aurora and galaxy )
Another thing is you can keep splendens together even 9 months of age IF you have enough plants and the pecking order have been established. and only IF they grew up together at a young age before jarring.
I have a halfmoon king male.what kind of female can i get him to mate?
How to breed bettas?
Hi Kasia. I have a betta health question. My male dumbo halfmoon (living solo in a heated 78 degree, 10 gallon, filtered, heavily planted, 35% weekly water change tank) has 1 eye that is really bulging. I put him in quarantine and treated him for 4 days with EM Erythromycin, followed by a 10 min epsom salt bath. His eye got worse :( He's back in his tank, eating perfectly fine. What should I do next to try to get his eye healthy again? Thank you in advance for your time and i love your videos! :)
That's a sign of death
i realy like this video... now i am subscribe to your channel... I want you to upload multiple videos🙂
I would love to see a RUclipsr do a long-term experiment. The standard answer is no you can't keep multiple males and females in a single tank... But I've seen videos here and there where people have kept about a 4 or 5 to 1 ratio of females to males and have been successful. It seems like larger tanks do better.
Gave it love
🥰
@@CreativePetKeeping oh, and I absolutely love that your puppies name is Banana. Cutest thing ever.
I have a 200 liter tank and I have in there males and females from a spawn.
They seem fine. They are not attacking eachother, they are not niping.
What is your opinion on this ?
Do you think that I should take the males out and jar them?
They still good?
@@stevet1898 yeah.
I have my very sweet retired vail tale betta with my female vail tale together just fine they are also in with guppies but some Bettas don’t get along with females
Will they fight
Also I have a custom made 10 gallon split tank, but yesterday my black and blue male named Frodo passed away. My red one named Sam, is in the other side. Im planning on getting 3 african dwarf frogs, and 5-6 guppies, THEN getting a female betta (Of course one who was like Frodo :( He was really nice to other fish) And do females nip at fins any less than males?
How is it hard to do? Explain?
I wanted to ask you a I have a male betta who is a tangerine koi so can you put a female in with one of these kinds of males I just thought I would ask and I hope you do answer my question on this because I'm new at this and I don't really know what I'm doing.
Hi
I'm getting 2 beta fishes. I was wondering if I don't need a divider if I'm getting a female and male... I guess not
Hey hey what are some good online fish stores ? I already have a pet co betta and he’s coloring up amazingly. Thinking about getting some Harley Quinn rasboras
How do you mate them then?
You sit an watch basically an remove asap
can you female beta live in the same tank ,i have two female that get sad when they are apart
What is the difference between splendid and normal
I keep one male and 6 females in my 40 gallon and they have been there for a year and a few months with no problems! I've kept two males together in a 20 gallon tall and they had no problems what so ever :)
How long did you have the two males together?
Same here! 1 male and 6 females in a 40 gallon with tons of plants and hiding spots. They've been a respectful family for about a year now.
My betta is a veil tale and he will not even tolerate the nerite snails in the tank with him. He will hit them hard enough to knock them over and try to kill them. He seems to understand that he can knock them upside down and eat them. He was trying to eat their shell, but that didn't work out for him. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep algae down, but he does not allow anything in his tank but his live plants that he loves. Granted, once I realized he did that I took the snails out immediately and now have to find the snails a new home.
I think you should try to put them in a breeding box In the tank and move them around to get the algea
@@halimatalib04 great idea👍will have to try this with my aggressive male rosetail who tolerates nothing and no other inhabitants in "his tank". He runs a tight ship ;)
Hey 1 question about my betta fish i have a 15 gallon tank of 30 or so better fry first time breeding(1 month old) and i have breed another pair and are free swimming for now 2 days whilst the other betts are 1 month old can i put the small bettas with the 15 gal tank or would the other fry eat the smaller fry. What do I do?
It depends on their size but most likely they will eat the smaller fry as well as stunt the smaller fry with the growth inhibiting hormone. Its best to give each growing out spawn as much room as possible.
I love you
Ok soooooo I can put my one male betta with other fish besides other bettas?
Hey do you have a insta page?
Great channel Kasia! I have a Dumbo Plakat male in a 5 gallon Fluval Spec tank with 2 horned nerites, driftwood, a moss ball and anubias. My question is: could (or should) I add a small school of fish to keep him company? They would have to be small, of course. What would you suggest...? Thanks for the informative videos.
In the 5 gal I think he would be just fine with his snail friends. As soon as you start adding more fish..the tank will become more work to maintain. So I think it's best to keep it simple ^_^
Thanks for the quick reply, love your videos!
Arnold’s spawn update please!! 😘😘
The thing about betas is when they make their nest you can’t have the filter going on in their tank because it will destroy it
PLEASE SEE AND READ THIS!!!! I recently purchased a sorority of female bettas. 6 of them. The vendor I purchased them ( through the mail) said they were raised together and they wouldn’t fight. Well 2 of them are clearly older than the other 4?and wreaking havoc in ythe other 4. What are my options. Please answer me. I’m desperate!
