What will happen if i put 10 bettas in a fish tank, will they get along?

Question

its a big fish tank

Answer 1

PETA might get mad at you...You will be the Michael Vick of fishing fighting. HAHAHA

Answer 2

I knew someone that kept male bettas (I think they had three or four) all together in one large tank and also with other fish. According to them, they never tried fighting. HOWEVER, I do NOT recommend doing that. They're called "fighting fish" for a reason - most male bettas will fight each other, so why take the chance? By the way, are your bettas male? I'm assuming they are, but if they happen to be female, then they should be alright being in one tank together.

Answer 3

OMG, i have never seen so many answers at one Question


Acutally yes they will get along, as long as there are only females in the tank
You will need lots of plants as well as caves with no sharp edges
you will also need a heater which keeps the temperature between 76-82 degrees
And of course filtration

they will only choose their so called peckingorder, which will look like they are fighting, but after the dominance is cleared, they will be absolutely fine with each other

You could try to keep a male in there, but i would really watch him

And here is where bettas live in the wild

If you really try it out with a betta, i think it would be a great piece for an article, with pics and everything documented what you observe

Answer 4

why 10 bettas? There are literally Thousands of different fish and fish combinations you could have in a tank - go to a good fish store and ask about what would work in a tank that size.

Answer 5

The only way this would work is if you have only females. Males can't be housed with other Betta's except for a short time during spawning. And even then you take a chance of finding one hurt or dead. Betta's are very aggressive toward their own kind. You can buy one male and put other tropical fish with him as long as they are peaceful and aren't fin nippers.

Answer 6

You can't put 10 because they will fight..and Betta fish are fighting fish that cant be together they have to be separated in 10 bowls since you said 10 of them..I'm so sorry that you have to spend that much money for more fish tanks.....but good luck!

Answer 7

First, please tell us the sex of the fish. If you wish to put in all females you probably won't have problems, as long as the tank is large enough for them. However, if you put in more than one male, expect a tragedy. Sorry, but it is the males' nature to fight to the death any other male with which they come in contact. That is why Betta splendens are also commonly known as "Siamese Fighting Fish."

Answer 8

Get ready for an instant blood bath.

Get guppies. They're so cute and colorful (I recommend getting all males). Or, there's this awesome new kind of fish called "glo-fish" they literally glow because they added a special gene to them. They're pretty small and cheap.

Answer 9

If they are females, it might work. If they're males. No. Freaking. Way. If you want to put ten betas in one tank, try getting about three dividers and putting only one male in each division. It won't really matter with the females, but the males might mate with the females and you'd have a HUGE problem. So your best bet would be getting all females.

Answer 10

the only way to do that would be to have your fish tank seperaed into 10 different compartments. Bettas are fighting fish. It's instinct for them

Answer 11

NO! Bettas are chinese fighting fish and they will kill eachother! Dont you dare put them together. They NEED to be kept apaprt. And they only need a little bit of space.
I hope you know that they are picky eaters- once they are used to a food, that is all they will eat. Also, they jump so you need to have acover on the top of the bowls. If you buy a BEta keeper, it will have everything you need.
And you need to clean their water every other day b/c the water will STINK FAST.
AND one more thing when you fill their bowl up, make sure you leave a little room b/c bettas go up to the surface of the water for oxuyfgen once in awhile!
FEED 3 pellets twice daily- no more!
