JazzyJeff Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 In answer to you question smidey - I have a 34 L tanks (just a small one to start with) in it i have 2 bristle nose and 1 betta. I would really like to add some guppies (2 or 3 males) but not sure how the betta will respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie841 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Your betta night destroy the guppies tails. I would suggest you get another one for the guppies Its just a matter of time till you get more tanks (its easier to just give in to MTS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyJeff Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 welcome jazzyjeff you can come and pick up some guppy fry for free. cheers Don 5712282 Wow - this is a very kind offer Don - thanks - unfortunately I went and brought 2 today from the petshop. My Betta seems OK with his housemates thus far but I am, like everyone is expecting, thinking I might just have to purchase another tank for the Betta. Was thinking bout a smaller version of what I have. I will keep your number for when I can increase my numbers - what colours do you think they will be?

Caper Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi & welcome! I don't have any betta's but from what I read so far, as others have said, they may not go well with guppies. Post pics sometime. Take care & have fun, Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies Trumpetgear - I didn't realise there was a 2nd page so didn't see your reply. I now have a 2nd tank - I would be very interested in the white(pink) tail you mentioned and some females - can collect in weekend if you want - am happy to pay for them too. I'll give you a call later in the week :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
