Betta's are beautiful fish that are very aggressive towards their own kind and to other fish with long flowing tails. They are tropical fish and will thrive in water that is kept between 76-82 F. They do well in planted tanks but can survive in a bowl with proper maintence. You should change out all of the water every 3 days if kept in a small bowl. Be sure to add water conditioner to take out the chlorine and other harmful chemicals in the water. Do not house male Betta's with other Betta's, not even females. They should only be kept together while spawning and then seperated again. Betta's can be placed in community tanks with other peaceful fish. They also need a varied diet such as Betta pellets, bloodworms, brine shrimp and Betta flake food. If you have any questions you can contact me.

well first of all whatever u do dont put them together..chances are they will eventueally eat each other..if u want 2 fish together put a male and a female. since u have 2 male then u either need to get to fish tanks or at wal mart they sell one tank with 2 connected. and if u want to breed them u need to wait til the male makes bubbles at the top of the water and then put in a female ...hope that helped a little

First, others are correct, DON'T put them together!
Each will need a separate tank of about 2.5 gallons with a filter and heater to do there best.
Here's a link to some excellent betta info for you. If you have any questions are reading through some of this, please feel free to email me.

Impulse buying is the worst thing you can do, especially when you buy an animal!!! Just google proper betta fish care and you will get lots of info. Just dont keep it in a bowl. It needs a filtered, heated (and cycled) tank.

do not put the Betta's together they will fight until the death. you can buy a tank divider or buy 2 fish bowls. They will rarely eat flake food and they relish Betta pellets you can buy them at you're local wal-mart or petstore for about a dollar or 2

DONT PUT THEM TOGETHER!!!!they will kill each other separate them if they are together, feed them betta food(found at pet store), clean they're tanks about once every 1 or 2 weeks(depends on tank size), make shore u fill there tank with de chlorinated water.they could live in small places like vases.

do not put them together or they will fight to the death. I think they make great pets and some have very big personalities for small fish =)

not hard to care for, weekly water changes, feed them once aday with only 2-3 pellets of betta bio-gold.
Weekly water changes are key.

Betta's cant live together or they will fight until one dies so get a divider for your tank.
