May 6, 200917 yr comment_304957 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) Report

May 7, 200917 yr Author comment_305019 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? Report

May 8, 200917 yr comment_305265 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 Report

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: Report
