two male bettas living toghether possible

[Dalamen]

Why don't you add some more fake plants and driftwood to create separate territories at the very least... Your tank is basically empty and there is no way those fish can claim their own areas.....

[clonetrooper60]

Betta CAN LIVE TOGETHER(Like if they are take care of together),SO SHUP PEOPLE.

[ForbiddenSecrets]

They both look depressing :/ That is not the picture of happy fish.

[XxladyjuicExX]

i bet they brothers, or you JUST put them togeather. its slow to start

[Neonthebetta]

The rule for multiple male Bettas is 4 feet of room per male (so about 55 gallons per male, 110 needed for 2) To avoid any serious conflict. (Of course you can keep 2 males in a 110 with a bunch of other fish ^.^) There are a few success stories of 55+ gallons with a male and females, but to have multiple Bettas you need a LOT of space and a LOT of hiding places.

[flyer92ify]

You can see whats going on here. The blue is the dominant one and the red and white is his little no2....... for now as that could change at any time especially if the red one decides to challenge the blue one and because they are both established in the tank any further male additions would be toasted by the pair of them. Not a great idea to carry on with them together you can see the red one hates the blue one anyways and there was very nearly a run-in between 1.00 and 1.09

[Aqcheercaptain]

iv had 6 males in a 50 gal and they never even touched each other the guy at the store said they were all female so i got them and a t firsh they started flaring but after 10 mins they all claimed terotory and now 2 years lateri got a half moon and it got beat up very slightly but it clamed terotory too its funny cause i have 12 gouramis 2 of each types and a male parodise fish and barbs and the all leave each other alone

[arvin600]

i got two males living with each other it was super awesome but my tank was effing HUGE.

[venato75]

To have multiple male together, you need a big aquarium and a lot of plants. I've got three male in a 220L and lots of plants.

Your males are obviously stressed, Possesing two male in an aquarium doesn't mean you just put, you have to take care of them.

[cassrhonda]

Yay more male bettas living together, I thought my big boys were the only ones!I have 2 halfmoon males liven together with 1 female getting a 2nd female soon and the have not flared at each other once they live together in a 10 gallon and are perfect!My males are all alm never stressed and are always swimming eating but not swimming to fast,lolz One is a marble blue and white with a shimer to his scales His name is Poppy. Then there is my other male who is black with a metallic looking scales :)

[MadiuhartAEB]

They look incredibly stressed out.

[TheEkamuhs]

The tank is probably big enough that the they don't bother each other.

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

As long as the tank is big enough for them to stake out their own territory, it can be done. I've heard of a dude who had like 12 in a 55 gallon tank...heavily planted, and they never crossed into each other's territory...and all lived fine.

[PJ2195]

dude your stupid, i did this and the small fish were so fast the beta died cuz it kept hitting stuff cuz it missed the fish

[LipSingingSensation]

cute(:

[betteryou123]

yes i have two old betta about 3 years they dont fight

[jedjed12]

i can see they have already been fighting

[SilverFox466]

Bettas will live togeather if they live a large enough tank. They, like other fish fight for teritory.

[HarunoSakuraxX]

Wow, these two fish are so tired from chasing one another that they can barely swim. I don't care what you people say. If you love your bettas, you will separate them. If you want to find one or both of your fish dead some day due to stress, illness, or outright being attacked by his "friend", then go ahead, keep them together. Stupid, stupid people.

[CesarElMaxter13]

maybe they are gay ?? no one know

[randomlybazaar]

You do know that guppies are enemies of the betta... right? There faster and will bully the bettas T_T

[blueeyes927]

They're not getting along. They're just too tired to chase each other any more. ALL healthy male bettas, even if they're siblings, will try to rip other males to shreds. I don't see a heater or a filter in your tank, which is probably why they're so lazy and tired. I don't even know why anyone would put two FIGHTING fish together. Was it a cheap thrill gone wrong?

[LethargicHotel]

Some males just get used to each other over time, i think its good. it also means you don't need another tank.

[elastonova69]

typical united americans: colourful plastic like disney world. - awful.

[theamazingplant2]

mine is okay with another male too! its so dumb when people say you cant put two males together when they love each other!

[547smiley]

I have a red male beta and name is ruby im wondering if he would get along with another MALE beta, he seem pretty easy going 4 exmaple i put him in front of the mirror and he just swam away from it! Should or should i not? Comment back

[CrazyCritters7]

These bettas are so worn out from chasing one another! Poor things. As you can see from the video the blue one is trying to chase away the cambodian one with the energy he has left. Please separate these fish. I don't care how long they have been living together. They aren't happy.

[cococolakathy]

i have 6 bettas they are all in differnt tanks

[warfare2marty123]

there suposte to Fight

[theamazingplant2]

@warfare2marty123 maybe you dont even know what FUCKING KINDA FISH IT IS. THEY DONT FIGHT UNLESS THEY HAVE TO.THEY ARE GENTLE TOWARDS EACH OTHER.

[Crowntailluvr]

Yes they can. If they are from the same spawn, or brothers, they more than likely won't fight. There may be a tussle over dominance and some fin nipping.

[patrickgua]

i got a betta just like that blue one

[CamCool10]

How do you get them to get along ?

[CamCool10]

I have a 10 gallon tank filted heated and everything light. 1 male crowntail white male betta. Can I get a female ?

[FiestyCat86]

If you love them, give it time, and be very vigilant. At some point fin nipping will start, and then you'll have short aggressive bursts of bullying. Then its time to get them into their own tank. I'm already seeing the bullying by the darker male, so just be careful, and don't push your luck for the sake of saying that you kept two males together. There will come a day where they will prove you wrong, and I would hate to hear that one died because of it.

[94integraguy]

so far they been ok for a year now

[BecRaper]

@FiestyCat86 if there in a big tank and have room to themselves they should be fine. i had my fighting fish for 6 years and i put him in tanks with others they both survived and didnt fight at all. as long as they have space, they will be fine :)

[FiestyCat86]

@BecRaper Then you got lucky, I have eight bettas and I have to keep them all separated, I can't even keep my females together because they attack one another. And the real kicker is that I thought they were all gentle fish with sweet languid personalities. Truth is...in a tank environment, there is never going to be enough room for them to get away from one another and they will never really be happy. Trust me they WANT to be alone.

[BecRaper]

@FiestyCat86 they are quite gentle. yes i got lucky haha. it does put stress on them to be with others in the same tank but they kind of get used to it. i usually only had them in there temporaraly like when i was moving or cleaning there cage. but there were longer times. i guess it depends on the fishes personality. sound gay, yes but it does :)

[BecRaper]

@FiestyCat86 ALSO when you buy them stay and watch them for a bit there is always a gentle on that will usually just stare at you thats the one to choose because it has taken a liking to you.

[Kiinks11]

@FiestyCat86 I have 3 females and 2 bristlenoses in a well planted and rocky (heaps of caves) 110L aquarium and they get along perfectly. They have their own pecking order, and two of them like to stick together, they don't fight or nip each other. With the right natural conditions they live very well together. Most people don't bother with rocks/caves or plants, so there is nowhere to hide. 1 Plastic plant isn't enough people! They are lovely fish though =D

[FiestyCat86]

I did try to put my females together, but...they fought. I have since done some experimenting, and found that I am typically drawn to the flashy, aggressive bettas and therefore my opinion on whether two females can be kept together is a bit skewed. I have since acquired a pair of sweet natured cinnamon reds and they are currently coexisting until I can get Sidle a tank of her own. They have rocks and caves and several plants to play in and are doing well, so I retract my prior statements.

[stephster575]

This is okay. Some male bettas are a lot less aggressive than others, and will do fine if with another male, as long as plentiful space is provided. It's just like keeping a male betta with gouramis or huge finned fancy guppies.

[yorkiesrule63]

that is way to much stress for all of the fish.

[Babyrose9090]

wow your just like me. my two crown tails share a tank together. PS i have 8 Betta males and 5 females

[DarckRaven]

how did you get the two males to live together like that. i've had bettas in the past live peacefully with other fish, but i was always afraid to try two betta together since they get pissed at their own reflection

[CharlotteX0o]

:L i wish i could do this, mine would rip them all to shreds ;l

[lovehatenhappiness]

Bettas and gupppies can go together, my male lived three years with my guppies and tended to share a rock ledge with one the same color as himself

[94integraguy]

thats wat i tell these people but they dont know anything

[atworkguy]

Guppies should not be with a Betta. Your Betta's are both very stressed and are not going to last long. You are a bad fish keeper! Plus tank is overstocked.

[LethargicHotel]

@atworkguy Guppies can live with bettas! There like, the number one fish you can keep with bettas. (I have a male and a female and kept guppies with them.)

[mmemossman]

they are really stressed, and the blue one is obviosly the dominant one! this will be very stressful for both of them!!!! move one to another tank!.....also i dont think the guppies are a good idea with them!! the only reason they are living together is because they are both to scared to do anything...this can and most of the time will end sadly:(

[nicthekiller14]

dont they fight ur other fish wierd they r supposed to be b them sleves

[neofantomu]

your whiteish viel tail is nice, it has the colours of a koi!. but, this will not last, i have tried multiple times with different bettas and it never works.

[kravenkorvinus]

this is so wrong..you shouldnt house bettas with guppys much more with other male bettas..

[94integraguy]

lear how to type fuking idiot

[Theunlimitedgeek]

im pretty sure you shouldent be telling me how to type when you can type either for example "fuking(fucking)" "lear(learn)"

[ArticBoom]

do they eat guppy???

[CRYST2SHELL]

I love this song. who is it?

[94integraguy]

the servent is the singer

[kaisaggg]

why would you ever put two together in the first place? It doesn't look like they are getting along too well.. the blue one is constinatly stalking the white/red one

[VoidParadigm]

They are fighting. Throughout the entire video the blue one is chasing the other around. It just doesn't look like it because your fish looks too stressed and lethargic to care enough anymore.

[rockaboyhalla]

they is homyimsexuals dont they go to church ?

[TheFishBreeder]

probably they controlled there emotions and violence!

[Glotsi]

My bettas used to jump the divider to hang out with eachother. They never showed any signs of fighting I would just come home and they would be on the same side of the tank. They were 1 1/2 and 2 years old at the time. When I added height to the barrier so they couldn't jump, one of them became lethargic and died.

I loved my gay fishies :(

[snippy777]

theres only one explanation.

There both homo- sexuals(gay)

[miahj07]

i have a betta that thinks he's a freaking goldfish. he lives with a medium sized goldfish and 4 zebra danios, and he follows the goldfish around like a lost puppy...or better yet, an annoying little brother/sister. he sucks on the gravel and does all kinds of goldfish activities. on the other hand, my other betta has killed everything i've tried to put with him. = [ i'm thinking about having more than one betta in my community tank though.

[thall13]

They dont fight because there not matured. I have kept bettas and keep bettas and while there less then a year old if you keep them with enough space that they cant get too terrortorial over there usually fine. however buying too fully matured bettas and putting them together they will get nasty at some point.

[MrFrogger1000]

wow im shocked they don't attack each other

[M0UNT41ND3WU]

Lol. They really are gayfish.

[imakemoremoney]

what the name of this song

[nokittymypotpi3]

Orchestra by the serveant

[Eigeroo]

are they drugged? xD

[nightshade0223]

bettas are just like pitbulls. people buy them and make them fight (not you) bettas are nice fish. just like any other.its hard to explain what im saying. but they arent cold hearted. do you get what im saying?

[94integraguy]

i know they are nice it all depends on the owner

[MentalVlogger]

Yes, I thought the same thing, too!

[Xxoo0o0o0ooxX]

Yup LOL!!

[bosnianharis123]

wow nice work. these are some peaceful fish. most male bettas are cold hearted killers!

[MentalVlogger]

Awe how cute they follow eachother and everything

[chengyman]

obviously you can keep betas together, one just has to be dominant.

[ilicgz]

Hi, I have 3 male Betta splendens in my 75l Aq...................amazing but true

[SammySam1261]

You can tell male and female apart by there tails.

Male: long tail and color full

Female:short tails and dull colors

[jawsflounderace]

HAve they ever fought?

[nyturca1]

congrats! just add a place for the bettas to hide, like a cave, they love it, for some privacy.

[nokittymypotpi3]

Wait... so are they still doing okay together?

[94integraguy]

yeah they are ok all of them plus i added some more fish

[nokittymypotpi3]

ahhh I see...... thanks!

[94integraguy]

no prob

[nokittymypotpi3]

I doubt it's the guppies, looks like they're just individually not aggressive. I personally can't put anything with my betta (so aggressive), so where did you buy yours? What was in the tank first the guppies or the bettas? did you buy them at the same time?

[94integraguy]

i bought one and they gave me the pink betta but i had the bettas in the tank first with a divider for like 2 monthsthen i put half the guppies in one and the other half with the other betta for about 2 weeks then i removed the divider. the bettas at first they were aggressive toward each other

[nokittymypotpi3]

nice to see two male bettas together (to the betta noobs it all depends on individual temper, and space). So how big is your tank?

[94integraguy]

10 gallons plus the guppies distract them

[linaniXD]

like all fish it has to do with their individual temperament, also larger tanks help keep the peace

[xxkrb87xx]

imagine the two male bettas were gay lol

[shacks29]

I bet one of them is already dead or maybe both!

[shigllgetcha]

ick sucks. its a paracite and the white spot is the fish's emune system reacting to the paracite. it lives on the fish for around a week depending on the temp then drops off and reproduces. if u turn the temp to over 30 degrees it cant reproduce and dies off. my betta was very sick with it, didnt look good but got better week after i turned the temp up.

it can live in their gills for months untill they get stressed or poorly

[xoxsunnyoxo]

i once had 2 male bettas and 3 female bettas with some other community fish live all peacefully with eachother for about 7 months then my tank came down with a horrible diases called ick and all my fishes died so i tried putting bettas together again but it didnt work. the females were 1 pink with a red tail, 1 metalic blue, 1 brown boddy with red fins, my males were, 1 red finned with a blue trim on them and it had a red body and 1 green/blue they were all from different petstores

[spidermanrocks75]

wow

[Mimiromaru1219]

blue: hey hey come back here

red: nuuuu i ish not gay

blue:but but theres no lady to fight over we must be

red: i no wanna

XD i knew it would be possible i have my betta with my goldfish , they are all happy

[chrismcclaskey]

maybe they iz friendz  ^.^

[ucla4321]

Actually, may be the veil tail have no fire anymore

[dltn1992]

dude-this may not turn out to be a good thing....i put two males together one time and came back to find one dead. (trust me) just trying to help......but love the bettas! =)

[Ashandaei123]

Haha thats neat. :D though if they are still getting along, and the guppies are in the same tank I would recommend a filter, for the guppies. :D

Oh and er, don't add a female. >_> Silly boys always fighting over the girls.

[GnarkelsProductions]

Woah o.O never thought it'd be possible lol. Maybe not a good idea to keep those guppies in there because of the long fin, but it depends on your bettas...

[Anitchen111]

the blue one is following the other one, but doesn´t attack. i think it´´s because the other doesn´t want to fight and respects the blue as the stronger one.

it´s very nice that they can live together=)

only two from ten betta males can live with other fish in piece, and i think there are even less betta males that can live together with other males.

[roryfitzpatric]

there gay wit eachother

[fingerskate36]

I did that befor to it is possible and cool.

reply

[94integraguy]

yeah it is now they get along good and the guppies to thanks for the comment

[trainkid12]

hey you person who was stupid enough to do this no one ever said that they all have the same personality!

[94integraguy]

then you moron person quit let me do what i want

[Nebula1334]

hey! didnt you see the blue one folowing the other one? see there is no proof they were getting along, he even threatened to attack him wich is worse!

[94integraguy]

didnt you read below dat dis video is one year old and the blue one is setting terretory here in this video dat was only the first couple days now none of them chase each other they eat together and the guppies to

[Tarantulaboy1997]

That is the biggest stupidest lie I've ever heard!!! Look at the fins!! They are all torn up!!!! You need to separate them!!!

[94integraguy]

thats how i got him moron no lie and no i dont need to separate them they dont fight and he got his fins back god these people who just talk

[Tarantulaboy1997]

Sorry!!

[weebluealien]

Wow! do they never fight? in the clip they look like they have established a pecking order-you must have got lucky with two fairly peaceful males although I'm not sure it's healthy for the one being chased all the time, stress can take it's toll over time. the guppies don't surprise me-I've only once had a betta that was aggressive to guppies, mine hardly gives them a second glance and I have some really fancy gups! what made you decide to put the males together?

[94integraguy]

no no no you only see this video what yall dont see is that they are getting along one just established territorial rights as you seen in the video after this it was all good no fighting plus the bitten fins thats how i got him from a friends fish tank

[thatkid175]

But that's one of the things I like about Betta's. They have the looks but having to keep them apart stops people from having millions of Betta's in one tank.

[lyanasmile]

those guppies help distract the betta's from fighting each other.

[94integraguy]

yup the guppies destract the bettas , thats part of my secret to this coe-existence of my two bettas

[pongmoua1]

those males aren't probably aggresive.

[masty69]

is there a difference in these and a siamese fighting fish?

[94integraguy]

no they are the same fish i guess betta is just a shorter name for the fish but they are the same no diffrence

[mexicandude100]

how much gallons is it

[94integraguy]

10 gallons

[HiDeguild]

Excellent job! I don't even dare put fancy guppies into my tank with my betta, let alone another male betta; and you've conquered both!

Kudos

[nouchengx]

if you put a female in they might fight for mate =)

[94integraguy]

i know but is best that i dont.there just fine the way they are

[nouchengx]

nice! now.. put a female betta in there!!

[94integraguy]

nah thas aight

[evothefool]

you can have 2 or more male bettas if their either from the same family or if there is females for each.

[94integraguy]

my bettas are still alive and living together the guppys are okay to no fighting has been going on they feed toghether to.ive added a couple fish and der okay still.who ever doubt'ed me you were wrong they can co-excist its easy it takes time tho.

[chibicheebs]

It's possible because all of the bettas(puddlefish) that are bred here are a bunch of pussies. They have no fighting instinct. It's 200th generation, the fight is gone. Put a real one in there, lol it's tons of fun to watch.

[kimchi53]

are they still alive?

[Atlantefan88]

and you have guppies i dont know how u did it

[fingerskate36]

it is possible i have done it before

[MRGOTITGETIT]

it is possible, i have done it before with little or no problem, however, it is only because one fish (blue) is dominant and the other (light coloured) accepts that, but a little change in amount of food, new fish, or even a near by female, could change it drastically

[pongmoua1]

there probably not aggressive so yea

[beturlifeonit]

although two males living together is not recommended it is not completely out of the question

[majesticmec]

When my fish chased each other i would put a net in the way and they stopped after two-three days :)

[reinaldolozada]

sooo sad i feel soo bad this is soo wrong your a bad person they should never live in peace fight they shall to the death of course if not judgment will come to all your fish i will sneak into your house and introduce my plakat ahahahahahaaaaaaa nah nice video dude nice song tooo

[TheDominoEffect09]

There is a little tension the blue one was chasing the other.

But i think you can pull this off if you work with them. Still need to be on alert though, because like many say they will fight to the death

[Phloxface]

Wow, you really are an idiot! Bettas should NEVER live together in a tank. Even if they don't immediately fight they WILL eventually fight and probably both will die due to injuries. As if keeping two Bettas in there isn't stupid enough you've got guppies in there with them!! LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT FISH BEFORE YOU GET THEM!! As for anyone else reading this, DO NOT follow any advice given by this person or any other moron who tells you that you can keep two Bettas together. It is cruel and WRONG!

[lifeboatsss]

I think only the males have to be kept apart. Females can be kept together if there are more than four. Apparently, they establish a hierarchy and can coexist. I've seen it work for years at a time. I would not recommend it though. Some females are more aggressive than others.

[jmaclol2341]

I tried that with a young betta and an adult,the younger one bit of part of the adult's tail of,but the young betta died a month ago the adult is still alive.

[ShadowsDecember]

how the holy cow fuck did you pull that off??

wow, your good.

[Eigeroo]

if u got skill and brains u can have 2 males togheter :) just let them grown up togheter tehre simple as heck :)

[bettalord]

wtf???????? that's impossible they will fite each other like heck???

[cosbyfish]

only when placed in a small enviroment but when placed in a much larger space than a jar or bowl the weaker one can run away and and give the dominant assurance that he is dominant so he will no longer harass the other one. plus there are no females so they don't fight for breeding either. also if you crowd the tank with bettas it lowers aggression.

[sn4pdr4g0ns]

It makes no difference how big the tank is, you will still wake up one day to a massacre. Domestic bettas are nothing like their wild betta ancestors. This is downright irresponsible, but I suppose it's slightly better than actual betta fighting.

[canadian189]

its simple: they are both gay!!!

[Akciss]

I wont say that male/male betta cohabitation isnt possible but i will say that when your betta hangs around the top of the tank and doesnt move much....it is a sign of stress and/or unhappiness....as for the shredded fins..they will grow back but probably not with these two co-habitating...the shredding is from fighting unless there is discoloration present....then its an illness

[emilyandkaitlinz]

they shouldn't be kept together because it may seem like they are fine and just CHASING each other. But because of their nature they will start to fight. Also is it safe to keep guppies in the same tank with a sinlge male betta?

[Rottentigers]

r u ppl like fuckin retarded the red 1 if u didnt notice swam TOWARDS the blue 1 the blue 1 was simply telling him 2 bac off an the shredded fins could mean he has a infection or sumthin not nessacarily fighting there is little hiding space yes but the tank Is big enough

[83jimis]

U cant change hundreds of years of instinct. Keeping males together is irresponsible and just stresses the weaker one, the shredded fins say they do fight

[9i991es]

Imagine you're living in a big room where you could have food and drink, but you're locked in and cannot escape. Now imagine there's someone else who lives there who is much stronger than you and beats you at will, and you cannot leave. What kind of a life would that be? That's what your red betta is dealing with.

[swilder2006]

i forgot to say that we have a ridiculous amount of hiding space for our fish. haha. i think its ok to several betas in a tank as long as the tanks big enough and there is enough cover in it.

[swilder2006]

my fiance' and i have a 55 gal and at one point we had three males in there. they got along just fine and never pestered each other. as a matter of fact, they messed with the dwarf gouramis more than each other.

[leecristo]

They aren't coexisting. You can plainly see the blue one attacking the other. Eventually they'll probably rip up your guppies' fins too.

You should be ashamed.

[ghettoafrobboy]

they both look ok living together

[eley54]

that is retarded you should get them seperated because they will kill. and i do agree also that the red one is going to have to swim away his whole life.

[robbie6642]

I agree with inspector, that's cruel. The red betta will live his entire life running from the blue one. You didn't offer ANY place to hide at all, and have them in a tiny tank to boot. Male betta's fight, yours are no exception. There are a lot of fish who won't fight until they get of age to establish territory. So expect to one day come home and find one of them dead because you think you are such a badass fish keeper that yours won't fight. Mark my words. I will happen.

[inspector58]

It's pretty obvious the blue one has already whipped the red one and established dominance. The red one moves away every time the blue one approaches. With nowhere else to go in that small a tank, and no good hiding places, that's pretty cruel. Not much of a life for the red one.

[Rottentigers]

da blue 1's fins are shreded worst den the red 1's dont dat tell u something

[inspector58]

Yes that tells me 3 things.

1. You don't know anything about Bettas.

2. You can't spell.

3. It's cruel to make these fish live like this.

[Rottentigers]

first of all i wasnt tryn 2 spell rite second of all i own a tank full of bettas not 1 of them ever fought or showed aggression towards each other an third of all ur dat lonely that u have 2 email this 2 me

[mo00o]

wow... AND you have fancy guppies in there..... wow... just wow...

[payjaymay1121]

thats extremely rare they fight more often then they dont i would never risk it luckily for you it worked out ^_^

[Hiedka]

How did you found out they could live together??

Luck??!!!!
