Luke* Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 should be fine mate, but just watch some female bettas can be quite aggro. do you breed discus?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 just keep in mind that Discus need to be fed quite often when younger so you can easily lose your bettas to dropsy no matter how often the water change when they're being over fed - I've lost two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 i dont breed discus, but saw a LOVELY blue one at local pet store and thought it would be awesome. a person on Trademe told me no they not compatiable , so i thought id ask on here. my girls (bettas) are not too bad, dont fight over food or anything.

Dave+Amy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 you shouldn't just have one Discus on its own either...should get at least 4 in a group. Your bettas won't get dropsy from fighting over food - it will be from feeding heaps to accommodate your Discus. How big is your tank by the way?

fishbreeder Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 dont have a tank that will house discus at moment, was just asking. i know what dropsy is, i was just meaning that my girls are friendly and nice, some fighter girls are aggressive. my CT girl is a bit sometimes, but the Vts are calm.
