Haizel Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi, First post, be kind. I love Bettas, had great sucess with them in the past but have always kept them in relative isolation from other fish. I would like put a Betta into a large community tank, what fish would best be suited to go with them? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 with my betta i have gouramis neons, coodle loches,guppies,a ram they get on fine with my betta but my shark sometimes (not very often about once a week at feeding time) nipps his fins i think my rainbow shark gets a bit to excited to get food..... :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 it is not recommended putting a male betta in with male guppies or generally anything else with long colourful fins. it becomes a case of "i'm the prettiest fish in the tank and i'll keep it that way" as he nips the others fins. i have mine currently with pearl danio's and female guppies. a female fighter will live happily with most other fish, but just check that those other fish will live happily with her.

Tsarmina Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 it is all dependent on the attitude of the fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattythecatty Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 My male lives with breeding swords and 2 teenage bristlenoses, oh, and 6 neons. He's a very mellow guy except with female Betta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 mine lives with an unidentified fish... see http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/my-new ... 17624.html he/sge is still alive and i have no idea what it is... it swims around the top of the tank.... i have tried unsucessfully to get a picture of it but it is still really hard. it is a dull grey color and looks like it might be a killie of some description... lets hope it is a male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
