Right now I have a ten gallon take with a very tiny feeder fish?(comet) I really don't know we got them for a school project. And I was wondering if I could put a betta in my tank I have a 10 gallon tank and the ten pasture stays around 76 all the time, is it ever possible to have a male betta with other fish or just only females? Because of it is a no for males I also have a one gallon fish bowl and wonder if that would work for a male betta? So would a female betta get along with a to y feed
If you're keeping female bettas, then you can keep as many as you like as the females are not aggressive at all. Males on the other hand are aggressive towards other male bettas, but in general, the male betta isnt an aggressive fish. This is quite a common misconception people have about male bettas. They are only aggressive towards their own species, and anything that looks like their own species, since they have relativly bad eye sight.
@AndehX you can keep male bettas with pretty much anything except other male bettas, and any sort of fin nipper, like tiger barbs for example. Also male guppies might be mistaken for another male betta, so be careful putting them together.
can i also add that each Betta has a different personality being some are more/less aggresive than others and when breeding one on one compatability between male and female is a must ie i had a male that was very agressive so matched him with a feisty girl and a few weeks later i had lil bubba bettas (be prepared you dont want an accidental breeding of 100s of babies to care for without a plan) and same goes for bella my quiet girl matches up to mitch who is a really layed back betta
My female beta fish won't swim unless I shake the tank lightly so she is alive I think she has fin rot but I'm not sure can you tell me? Oh here is something else you might need to know, her tank use to be very dirty but I cleaned it.
@happycatguy i have had simmilar to this and found its just particular females are quieter than others BUT>>>> does she have a white edge on her fins or large white spots as this would indicate it is finrot ,id suggest a course of betta medicine and feed her live bloodworm for a few weeks to boost her imune system,although bad finrot is cureable SO DONT PANIC and its somewhat lucky its a female because once a male gets finrot his colours are never the same again GOOD LUCK MATE
Actually Neon Tetras are fin nippers, especially when you keep them with a long fin Bettas.
I should know I make this mistakes 2 times,another thing is why did you recommend 5 or more female Bettas? They will fight or nip - I don´t think keeping more Bettas is a resolution at all.
Do you know what happend after a Male Betta breed with a female Betta in a (Betta) Comunity tank?
@shacks29 I have a male betta with 6 neon tertas in a 10gal right now for about 3 months and they haven't touched him yet. Also, my male never bred with the females. I would destroy his bubble nest all the time so he was too busy rebuilding it to care about the girls. And I got the idea of keeping more females from keeping African cichlids where its recommended to keep more fish to reduce aggression. Im just going off my personal experiences as well...not saying it works every-time.
@shacks29 5 or more is better. She is right. I've raised bettas for a long time. I like to keep them separated, but I've done communities before. If you have more bettas, the aggressiveness gets distributed among the bettas which means less fighting. With just two or three bettas they will most likely kill each other or really hurt each other since they only have that one betta to focus on. And as she said a large tank and plants reduce a lot of the aggressiveness.
I haven't had any trouble with my male betta, but maybe that's because I put him in a 55 gallon tank with 10 other fish (mostly gourami) with short fins so he wouldn't be tempted to nip at them...They're also faster than him too so that's another plus XD...I don't put more than one betta in right now, but I'm thinking about adding another one...maybe...lol
why is it so special to keep a betta in a community tank? i have 2 males in a community tank fun to see but they don't hurt the other so much also got discus fish and stuff. but if you do a betta in a tank it's no problem only maybe with other males in small tanks ore baby fish but there don't swim so much.
i have a question i have a 55 gal tank i just got n i have one angel fish banded rainbow bi colored banjo cuckoo synodntis discuss kissin fish mono panda cory threadline rainbow gourami one silver dollar a pleco and 3 orange tuxedos do you think they will get along?
Its a good idea to keep like she said 5 or more females no less. That allows them to develop a hierarchy among themselves. I've heard of community male betta tanks and have actually seen one with 2 males but then again it was a 55g tank. Goes to show how much space the males need to coexist.
well, sense bettas are aggressive fish, bettas have to be kept alone by its self. if you put a female in with the male, and its not the same size, than the male will eventually kill the female. in order to have female and male bettas put together. you need decorations, or houses for female to hind but, be careful because the male might mate with one another and all the other fish will eat the eggs.
yes if its just one male betta then it should work. you can have a male betta in a community tank but there can only be one. male bettas are by far more aggressive than females. i have a male betta in a community tank and they seem fine. i havent found any dead fish and its been over a year.
@rajpalarman17 you can pretty much breed any type of betta whether it be plakat, veil tail, halfmoon, double tail etc. If you're planning on breeding a halfmoon and a plakat you should get some pretty interesting fry. If you continue selective breeding between the generations you will end up with a halfmoon plakat, which are amazingly beautiful
@WhiteFishKepper Two different coloured bettas breeding can make for babies that have a muddy colouring. From what I have read you're betta to stick to two fish the same colour.
Oh and I want to say that a male betta can be successfully kept with female guppies. I have done just that. I can say, with pride, that my male OHM is doing just great with his company of 5 female guppies in a 10 gallon tank. It honestly depends on the individual betta male's level of aggression and how you introduce them.
Heh, I always hear the name pronounces "bay-tah" instead of "beh-tah". Nice to here it pronounced properly for once. Though I must say, it does sound odd to my ears after hearing it pronounced the other way for so long.
@armor365 depends on size of the tank, how planted it is (aka how many hiding spaces) and personality of your fish. Always a plus if your guppies don't have fancy tails. It depends on the betta personality too; some are more spunky than the others. It's best to observe and be ready to make changes when you mix fishes of different family. Female would be easier, bt of course provided you don't unreasonably overstock.
@overheat999 Do u mean like Redtail sharks or bala sharks? Depending on the type they can be very aggressive. I have a redtail shark in my cichlid tank and he is super aggressive. Also they usually need roughly a 50 gal tank and other semi aggressive fish. I think they do best with cichlids.
I personally found it's best to keep male Betta's on their own with no other fish as they always fin nip in the end. Also I have found the Betta's fins never fully grow back.
@DarkStardustDragon74 every fish is different. Some are just lazy. Oscars have a larger brain and are a bit more intelligent so it makes sense that they would be more interesting. I still like bettas though :p
Bettas have started to die it's been a year since I bought them each one has died with their scales spiked up they loose their color slowly what is happening I never ever saw that before it's terrible I'm down to two of them and it's starting on one
@myPs3RuLeZ123 did u try giving them medicine? I know there are a couple different medicines that treat multiple diseases if ur not sure. Did u try looking it up on google to figure out what it is?
@myPs3RuLeZ123 Sounds like your bettas had bloat. The best way to prevent it is to make sure their water is very clean (with a cycled filter) and the temperature is warm enough (around 80 degrees F).
@CreativePetKeeping I got my 5 Betta in a 10 gallon and when i give them food they just spit it out. I am thinking if i need a water heater but the other Betta community tank a had a couple years ago was just fine without a water heater.
@Darkoh5 what is ur water temperature? a fishes metabolism is dependent on the water temperature as they are cold blooded animals. The colder the water the slower their metabolism is (which may be the reason they dont want to eat). Also u can try feeding them dried blood worms, in all the years I have never seen a fish refuse those.
you can also try a different style of food (pellet, flake, crushed) or food brand itself. Some betta I have had rejected some "betta pellets" and were picky eaters!
@Darkoh5 5 Bettas in a 10 gallon? WTF You do know the water quality is probably dung unless you have some sort of secondary planted sump. The Betas in your tank are probably pooping themselves to death.
@SickKnowledge82 I used to have more then five bettas and tetras in a 10 gal (at least 8 females alone). For that tank I had one filter, plants, and I did weekly water changes. The water quality was great. If people can keep a betta in a water bowl (that isn't even close to a gallon of water with no filtration) what makes u think they wont do well in a 10 gal tank with mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. If u maintain it then it will work.
@SickKnowledge82 i don't think you should be keeping any fish if this is your opinion based on your limited experience. i'm gonna give you the benefit of a doubt that you probably weren't listening and/or reading comments carefully to fully understand the different methods and experiences shared by other folks on this forum. read on!
have u ever gotten a purple betta? they are soooooooo rare. I've only gotten a purple mixed with other colours, never a solid purple yet. Btw you are smoking hot. Bonus points for being a fish nerd (I am one too)
@capsulecorporation Ive had a betta that had some purple in him but never a fully purple one. My favorite are ones that have a mix of colors, are all yellow or all white and thanks :)
@CreativePetKeeping man i love bettas! i've decided to get at least a 40 gallon for my new fish. if you could be a fish what would u be? I'd be a clown loach lol. Cuz I'm weird
hi i have a 10 gallon tank and i want to combine a betta, platy, molly on it is that possible? and i want o know the amount of fish i can put on it thanks
i had three bettas and to of them died i had them less than a week and wen i clean there tank i put warm water also i plzz respond wen i put em in i notice they swim really fast and stop swimming
hi there big question i have a 10 gallon thank and a 20 gallon thank n the 20 i have 6 guppies u can c my video n my channel n let me know if it look ok. well right now n my 10 gallon im breeding my dragon with a halfmoon betta. after i finish with the i wana put all my bettas together with a nice setup of plants and hide outs cuz i have a total of 11 bettas males and females but each are n container i think is 1/2 but im wondering if i can put my bettas n my 20 gallon together with the guppies?
@elcholo212 It really depends on how aggressive your bettas are. I know that putting more then one male wont work as males are too hostile twords each other. My tank worked with one male because he is very calm. Even I doubt that putting more bettas will work for the guppies so I have refrained from buying females for this particular tank. I would try your calmest male or female with the bettas and watch the fish. If they attack the guppies then separate them. Good luck.
Went back the other fish was gone and he was on the floor and so I did the same !! But he died two days ago.. :( so now I have only 1 sad fish with no friends.
I have two betta fish that are males and one is really agressive and keeps flaring his gills. So I just put their tanks next to each other and they got used to each other. So when I came back from a friends house I was going to feed my fish and the fish was gone... Haha he had jumped out of his tank! And when I looked on the ground there he was so I hurried and put him back into his fish tank. When I e
@Paws24live Goldfish pee is poisonous to other fish so they are only supposed to be kept with other gold fish that is all if you want your fish to last a long time, check out my videos! Thanks
@orieoman Haha, that's a creative way of explaining it. No, goldfish pee isn't poisonous...it's exactly the same as any other fish. The problem is that goldfish are carp, and so they product MORE waste than other fish, not a different kind of waste. :p There aren't many fish hardy enough to live with the amount of waste goldfish produce, and most that would be can't live with goldies because they are tropical, while goldfish are coldwater, so they have completely different temp. requirements.
I was wondering if you could maybe answer some of my questions. I'm starting a 35g natural planted tank up soon, and I wanted to try and turn it into a little Betta Sorority. I was wondering how many girls I should put into it. I also wanted to try and get some neon tetras or maybe some black mollies in there as well. Would a combination of these work well? I was also wondering what plants are best for bettas?
@ShinyHunterExtreme If they are tired they will rest on the bottom of a tank or on a plant. The filter is important to keep your tank clean and does not bother them. Ive never tried breeding bettas but if ur worried about the filter moving the water too much then get a sponge filter.
If they make a bubble nest, break it or remove it. You can have one male and I guess anywhere from 5 to 12 females. Probably a little more if ur filtration system is good. Its best to just try and see what works.
I love this girl, shes so cute I never get sick of watching her or listening to her, ya this girl and the pancerborn girl that does all the wrold of warcraft vids are both off the hezy!
I just started my 10 gal tank its a cummunity trank and i want to add a Betta. Do you have any suggestions for my tank? i currently have 5 serpea tetras and 2 hatchets and a balloon molly. Check out my video thx! =)
This is great! Bettas are so different though, I have one that does like guppies/long finned fish and I have another who really doesn't care who he shares his tank with lol
@MyFishCare101 My male is a big sissy. I just moved my algea eater to another tank because it started to chase the male around so he would hide under a plant all day. Bettas are like pitbulls...everyone thinks they are some crazy killers but they are all unique and have different levels of aggression.
"these guppies wouldnt do so well" my guppies are with my betta in my 20gal as we speak.. all males and one a blue tux guppy with a huge tail. the betta could care less about the gupps
@tegrofreven Same here :) My guppies are is good shape and my male is too busy exploring the tank or begging for food. He does not care about then at all.
My betta does pretty well in a 55 gallon with 10 pristella tetras, 8 cherry barbs, 2 chinese algae eaters and 3 bamboo shrimp. I was worried at first that my betta would be aggresive towards the other fish but he's mellow as sh?t. it turned out pretty well, Im glad. I like the set up you have in your tank. what are those long plants you have?
@CreativePetKeeping What brand is your tank, because the Aqueon 10 gallon looks smaller. Also, when you change your tank, wont the betta mistake the fish for new fish? How would u avoid that?
@killerforlife100 Bettas are tropical fish while goldfish are cold water fish. It is impossible to keep them together without one or the other getting sick or dying.
I really want to do this community set up but I've heard the females attack the male and sometimes kill it. In England the females are all in tanks with the tetras and livebearers (1 per tank) so how do you think this would work for me?
@tropix579 Females can kill the male but if the male breeds and makes a bubble nest for the eggs he will be overprotective and might kill the females. Its kinda tricky. What works best is to get as many females and and other fish as you can for the size of tank you have.
@CreativePetKeeping Thanks for your reply. I think I will get a male for a community with some platies, corydoras or tetras instead as it is my first try with bettas. I might try this in a year or two when I know a little more about bettas.
@pirlygiry no gold fish like cold water and are veary messy, bettas like warm water and there fins dont do well in dirty water they will get fin rot, my bettas have always done good with cories like panda or albino cories, ya know the lil 2inch catfish, and they do good with african dwarf frogs, I stay away from tetras and danio do to fin niping of my bettas and even if they dont nip the fast moving all over seems to me like it bugs the betta, its like crack heads buging a stoner, lil analogy
One more thing to remember. Some other tropical fish tend to nip at the Betta's fins. Especially Barbs. They will keep on till they totally strip the fins away. Also causing stress to the Betta. Also water flow needs to be very mild for Bettas. They are designed for very slow moving almost still water that is also very quiet. Sponge filters are better for them. Another reason they need their own tank.
@martyb0y1690 Nearly all Barbs tend to be nippers but the Rosy ones are the worst. And there are some Tetras that will nip too. They are drawn to the Bettas long fins for some reason. Also live bearer fish like Platies and sword tails like salt in their water and more brackish hard alkaline water but betta likes soft acidic no salt in water. Even though they are raised in captivity their bodies are made for the original waters they hale from. They can adjust to a 7'0 PH but it wont' be the best.
@batlady2 platies and sword tails don't need salt in their water 7-8 PH medium hard water , bettas like 6-8 PH with soft to medium hard water so both like to gether at a PH of 7-8 medium hard water = perfect water conditions.most barbs are fin nippers but as with most things there are exceptions cherry barbs are peacefull comunity fish liking medium hard water with 6.5-7.5 PH so all these could be kept together with a PH of 7-7.5 with very little problems.
@martyb0y1690 Palties are a brackish water type of fish so are sword tails. I challenge every one to google and research the care and needs of all these fish to see the proper water chemistry and food requirements. YOUTUBE is not the best place for research. I can provide links to any one interested just contact me at my inbox. And 8.0 is way to alkaline for bettas. They originally hale from acidic waters their bodies are designed for those waters through years of natural evolution.
@batlady2 don't believe everything you read on google lmao my uncle is a marine biologist and I dare say he knows alot more than you he has been studying fresh water fish like these and many others in the wild for over 35 years
@martyb0y1690 uh huh, have him send me a copy of his qualifications and talk to me about fresh water aquarium fish. Until then I have to rely on other experts. Most of the sources I use come from books and on line sources who also are as qualified as your "uncle". And when the majority of them are saying the same things then common sense tells me to draw my conclusions based on all their opinions. BTW you are on the internet. Am I suppose to believe all YOU say?

I personally found it's best to keep male Betta's on their own with no other fish as they always fin nip in the end. Also I have found the Betta's fins never fully grow back.

TheHermitcrab101 4 months ago
@myPs3RuLeZ123 Sounds like your bettas had bloat. The best way to prevent it is to make sure their water is very clean (with a cycled filter) and the temperature is warm enough (around 80 degrees F).

@CreativePetKeeping I got my 5 Betta in a 10 gallon and when i give them food they just spit it out. I am thinking if i need a water heater but the other Betta community tank a had a couple years ago was just fine without a water heater.
Please i really need help fast.
Darkoh5 5 months ago
@Darkoh5 what is ur water temperature? a fishes metabolism is dependent on the water temperature as they are cold blooded animals. The colder the water the slower their metabolism is (which may be the reason they dont want to eat). Also u can try feeding them dried blood worms, in all the years I have never seen a fish refuse those.
CreativePetKeeping 5 months ago
you can also try a different style of food (pellet, flake, crushed) or food brand itself. Some betta I have had rejected some "betta pellets" and were picky eaters!

@Darkoh5 5 Bettas in a 10 gallon? WTF You do know the water quality is probably dung unless you have some sort of secondary planted sump. The Betas in your tank are probably pooping themselves to death.
SickKnowledge82 4 months ago
@SickKnowledge82 I used to have more then five bettas and tetras in a 10 gal (at least 8 females alone). For that tank I had one filter, plants, and I did weekly water changes. The water quality was great. If people can keep a betta in a water bowl (that isn't even close to a gallon of water with no filtration) what makes u think they wont do well in a 10 gal tank with mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration. If u maintain it then it will work.

@SickKnowledge82 i don't think you should be keeping any fish if this is your opinion based on your limited experience. i'm gonna give you the benefit of a doubt that you probably weren't listening and/or reading comments carefully to fully understand the different methods and experiences shared by other folks on this forum. read on!

elcholo212 5 months ago
@elcholo212 It really depends on how aggressive your bettas are. I know that putting more then one male wont work as males are too hostile twords each other. My tank worked with one male because he is very calm. Even I doubt that putting more bettas will work for the guppies so I have refrained from buying females for this particular tank. I would try your calmest male or female with the bettas and watch the fish. If they attack the guppies then separate them. Good luck.

@Paws24live Goldfish pee is poisonous to other fish so they are only supposed to be kept with other gold fish that is all if you want your fish to last a long time, check out my videos! Thanks
orieoman 6 months ago
@orieoman Haha, that's a creative way of explaining it. No, goldfish pee isn't poisonous...it's exactly the same as any other fish. The problem is that goldfish are carp, and so they product MORE waste than other fish, not a different kind of waste. :p There aren't many fish hardy enough to live with the amount of waste goldfish produce, and most that would be can't live with goldies because they are tropical, while goldfish are coldwater, so they have completely different temp. requirements.

Hi! I love your videos!
I was wondering if you could maybe answer some of my questions. I'm starting a 35g natural planted tank up soon, and I wanted to try and turn it into a little Betta Sorority. I was wondering how many girls I should put into it. I also wanted to try and get some neon tetras or maybe some black mollies in there as well. Would a combination of these work well? I was also wondering what plants are best for bettas?
Thanks!

ShinyHunterExtreme 8 months ago
@ShinyHunterExtreme If they are tired they will rest on the bottom of a tank or on a plant. The filter is important to keep your tank clean and does not bother them. Ive never tried breeding bettas but if ur worried about the filter moving the water too much then get a sponge filter.
CreativePetKeeping 8 months ago
If they make a bubble nest, break it or remove it. You can have one male and I guess anywhere from 5 to 12 females. Probably a little more if ur filtration system is good. Its best to just try and see what works.

I really want to do this community set up but I've heard the females attack the male and sometimes kill it. In England the females are all in tanks with the tetras and livebearers (1 per tank) so how do you think this would work for me?
tropix579 11 months ago
@tropix579 Females can kill the male but if the male breeds and makes a bubble nest for the eggs he will be overprotective and might kill the females. Its kinda tricky. What works best is to get as many females and and other fish as you can for the size of tank you have.
CreativePetKeeping 11 months ago
@CreativePetKeeping Thanks for your reply. I think I will get a male for a community with some platies, corydoras or tetras instead as it is my first try with bettas. I might try this in a year or two when I know a little more about bettas.

martyb0y1690 1 year ago
One more thing to remember. Some other tropical fish tend to nip at the Betta's fins. Especially Barbs. They will keep on till they totally strip the fins away. Also causing stress to the Betta. Also water flow needs to be very mild for Bettas. They are designed for very slow moving almost still water that is also very quiet. Sponge filters are better for them. Another reason they need their own tank.
batlady2 1 year ago
@batlady2 what kind of barb are bad to have with them ?
martyb0y1690 1 year ago
@martyb0y1690 Nearly all Barbs tend to be nippers but the Rosy ones are the worst. And there are some Tetras that will nip too. They are drawn to the Bettas long fins for some reason. Also live bearer fish like Platies and sword tails like salt in their water and more brackish hard alkaline water but betta likes soft acidic no salt in water. Even though they are raised in captivity their bodies are made for the original waters they hale from. They can adjust to a 7'0 PH but it wont' be the best.
batlady2 1 year ago
@batlady2 platies and sword tails don't need salt in their water 7-8 PH medium hard water , bettas like 6-8 PH with soft to medium hard water so both like to gether at a PH of 7-8 medium hard water = perfect water conditions.most barbs are fin nippers but as with most things there are exceptions cherry barbs are peacefull comunity fish liking medium hard water with 6.5-7.5 PH so all these could be kept together with a PH of 7-7.5 with very little problems.
martyb0y1690 1 year ago
@martyb0y1690 Palties are a brackish water type of fish so are sword tails. I challenge every one to google and research the care and needs of all these fish to see the proper water chemistry and food requirements. YOUTUBE is not the best place for research. I can provide links to any one interested just contact me at my inbox. And 8.0 is way to alkaline for bettas. They originally hale from acidic waters their bodies are designed for those waters through years of natural evolution.

Most of the sources I use come from books and on line sources who also are as qualified as your "uncle". And when the majority of them are saying the same things then common sense tells me to draw my conclusions based on all their opinions. BTW you are on the internet.
