I was wondering if a male betta fish with 2 female betta fish co-exist in the same tank? If so what size tank?

Answer 1

I have a ten gallon tank that is heavily planted. The male will chase the female around - when he can see her, but that is not very often. He apparently is a little near-sighted.

Answer 2

Well, you shouldn't put 2 females together, but you can put a male and a female together unless the female gets pregnent, once their done, put the male and female away from each other, you may want 5 gallon tank for non-mating fish and 10 gallon for mating fish, remember, fish only mate when they think that the water is clean enough and please don't worry if you see bubbles that the male is making if they mate. Male and male can't go together because they will fight till one of their death, and even if you put a mirror in the tank, the male will think that it's another male in the tank so t'll end up dieing because it's fighting a mirror!!Here's some tips for a clean tank:
Different fish have different feeding habits; some fish spit their food out as they eat it and some spit it out and scrape it on their teeth as they spit it out and that's just the way they eat.

The next thing to do is make sure you have the highest water quality possible. This would mean 0 ppm of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates; all of which you can test using a test kit or by having your local pet store test them for you. Don't add any more fish until you've had your water tested. If any of these levels are too high, you should do an immediate 25% water change. If your levels of ammonia are high, three 25% water changes over the course of a week may help.

In the future, you should perform a 25% water change every two weeks. This will help to control levels of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. The water changes will reduce any problems with water quality and help the fish combat parasites plus reduce any harmful bacteria.

In order to maintain low levels of these toxins, you should also make sure not to overfeed your fish or overstock your tank.

Overfeeding of your fish can increase these levels in the water as the uneaten food is allowed to decompose. At each feeding you should feed no more than what your fish can eat in ONE minute or two, while allowing a minimum amount of food to fall to the gravel.

Overstocking the tank can increase these levels also. As a general rule of thumb you should have one gallon of water per inch of fish when stocking with tropical fish and three gallons of water per one inch of fish water when stocking with goldfish. Excess waste caused by overstocking, like excess food, gives off ammonia and nitrites.

Proper filtration and aeration are other things you may want to
consider. Make sure the filter is working properly and that the water is well oxygenated. Temperature is also important. Tropical fish prefer a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 3

Male betta ae generally to aggressive to put any betta male and female in the same tank. Females may be able to live together, but they are still pretty aggressive. I generally recommend 1 female per 5-10 gallons. Just remember some female are as aggressive as the males.

PS- Betta don't get pregnate. Thef females lays (100s of) eggs. The male builds and guards the bubble nest. Generally the male will attempt to drive off the female, which is often fatal. Unless the female is removed after mating, and has a place to hide right after mating.

Answer 4

Nope, you can have one male betta in the tank or two females in the tank. Males and females should only be placed together for breeding. The male will harass the females continually to get them to breed until they are injured, weaken, and die. You can have one male or multiple females in a tank but not both. By the way, you can mix bettas with other fish - just make sure the others aren't fin nippers like tiger barbs.

Answer 5

I had tried to mix male and females bettas together like yours, 1 male and 2 females but found out the next day that 1 female was killed with injuries all over and 1 manage to escape from death.. But injured very badly too. The male have half of the tailfin lost but still able to swim. My advise is that do not try to mix Bettas (no matter male or female) together, cos their aggressiveness will cause injury for each other... and are you sure enough that you have the luck to have battas living in harmony?

Answer 6

A male and female beta will be fine together until the female becomes pregnant, then she will kill him. Two females together is not a good idea....

It is best to just keep each fish in a separate tank. Or you can buy dividers to split up a larger tank and keep the fish separated.

Answer 7

The only time you put a male &female together is when they are going to breed.Please get a book on them before you go out and buy them and this way you know what you are getting in to.

Answer 8

NO! They will fight. the females can sometimes go together but never the males! I would say nothing less then a 20 gallon!

Answer 9

bata,s are fighting fish. if you put 2 or more in the same tank they will fight untill there is only 1 left

Answer 10

you can do it but i wouldnt..the males will constantly chase the females around trying to mate with them and he bites her fins in doing so...if you do do it i would say about a 10 or 20 gallon with pleny of hiding spots
