I have a 2 gallon tank and thinking about getting a heater. I feel that I need to get her a friend only because her other female betta died..... but I'm hesitant of getting another female because my other betta has been alone since summer... I dont know how feisty she will be with another female betta tankmate. Will female guppies work?

Many species of aquarium fish will eat other fish if they can get them into their mouth. Also they are more likely to do this if they are not well fed or there are few hiding places for the smaller fish. Reasonable size guppies would be safe with male or female Betta Splendens (siamese fighter).

Female bettas can live with other community fish. Female guppies should work.

it should be ok, i had 2 female bettas with guppies male and females and they were fine. i kept mine with tetras too, also guramis, female bettas should go with any community fish.

get neon tetras or glowlight tetras i work at walmart(that says nothing i know) but when we break a cup o' betta we put him in with the neons and the glowlights and every one i have put in there is a LOT happier than in that little cup. (i intentionally break them so they can get out btw) but neon tetras are your safest bet.

Beta's are siamese fighting fish. They are better left on their own. They are vicious and if two males are kept together disaster will strike. 2 male Beta's + 1 tank= DEATH

the beta will eat the guppies.
guppies are more of like a faimly tank fish and the beta are vicious.
betas are also called chinese fighting fish.
