What kind of fish can you put in the same tank with a Beta.?

Question

Japaniese fighting fish (Beeta}.Thanks.

Answer 1

crap, why don't people do some research before they these crap answers on here
They are fighting fish, so what, but they get along with pretty much all peacefull tropical fish
Out of own experience they get along especially whith the ones that follow here
Balloon mollies
Zebra danios
neon tetrats
rasboras
mollies
platies
female guppies, (the males have to long fancy fins)

The only thing you can't do is putting 2 males together or 1male and 1 female

I'ts actually proven that you can put 3 FEMALES together in a 10 gallon tank

So to all the people who said you can't, you're very very wrong



Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 2

I have a female and a male beta fish and I wanted to know this exact question also. So I went to the local pet store and asked about it and the person there said that you can not put any fish with a beta fish. If you have non-aggressive female betas then you can probably put them together but I don't recommend putting any kind of beta fish together. Your best bet is to get different fish together, lol. Hope I could help.

Answer 3

lots of the advice that has sturdy rankings are on the money. it is going to matter on the betta and tank length. A betta can tend to be extra aggressive in a small tank of much less thab 5 gallons. sturdy tank friends- -cory cats -small sucker fish like otto, and in greater tanks small breed pleco, and Siamese algae eaters (no chinese language algae eaters) - non showy platty, and swordtails. Guppy, and molly could be a showy. keep away from somewhat fancy male guppies, and male sailfin molly. Fish to keep away from- - different betta male or lady. maximum betta agression is betta on betta. a pair will mate, and then try to kill one yet another. (sometimes skipping the mating.) -Barbs, and greater tetras. Neon are frequently no longer fin nippers. -Gourami are too aggressive and/or too beta like. -Angelfish. Too gradual, great fins, and intensely aggressive later in life. -Semi-aggressive, or aggressive fish. Betta are destructive swimmers, and honestly picked on. -great gradual shifting fish as male betta are extremely destructive swimmers, and in a greater tank maximum fish can out swim a betta a cover. A betta will often take an afternoon or as a manner to get use to a tankmate. A fish like a goldfish can run or cover.

Answer 4

First, it's betta - like better but with an A at the end. Second, you can put a betta with any other tropical fish that are relatively peaceful. Bettas are not violent fish except to their own kind so that means no other males or females with your male. Females can live together. They go very good with neons, white coulds, corys, platys, etc.

Answer 5

Black Mollies are good. And dwarf frogs. Any community fish.
Make sure there's enough room for both fish. The rule is, 1 gallon to every inch of the fish. But betta's don't require much space but the other fish will. Good luck.

Answer 6

Depends on the size of your tank. But generally, they'll get along ok with most community/tropical fish. Don't put them with other bettas-male or female, no gouramis, and anything with fancy colorful tails like male guppies-though I have heard of people that did with guppies with no problems, I wouldn't risk it though.

Answer 7

You can put just about any peaceful community tank fish with bettas. They only attack their own kind. Just don't use aggressive fish or those with long tails like fancy guppies or goldfish.

Answer 8

A. Its Betta
B. They are from Thailand and people telling you they are from Japan are flat out full of $hit.

You can put them in with any other tropicals. You just can't put a male Betta with other Betta's. Avoid male guppies or other fish with flashy fins as it might get mistaken for another male, or a fish flashing it's colors to fight.

Answer 9

well, i seriously wouldn't want anything in the same tank with my Beta. the only thing i have had in with a Siamese fighting fish is a Fancy Guppy, and they eat the Beta's tail. So, i would just let them have a whole tank to themselves.

Answer 10

There are a few fish that will do well with bettas (meaning the betta won't kill them, and they won't attack his plumage :D )

- white clouds
- tetras (Neons are great)
- danios
- rasboras
- bottom feeders (I love Rafael and Bumblebee Catfish!)

Don't be worried if you see occasional nipping, but if your fish start getting tattered, be sure to remove one or the other.

Hope this is helpful!
