@darengurson I personally don't recommend it. Sure, it can be done, but every Betta is different and if he is not used to being housed around other fish then he can get stressed out being around them. Each betta has their own personality, as a betta owner I am sure you know that, bettas are VERY territorial fish. I have never had a betta that lived for less than 18 months and I've had and raised them for the past 15 years. If you want to ask me anything message me anytime.
I am thinking of getting a Betta fish, I have owned fish since i was four but never before owned a betta and i have been trying to get info but i am looking all over and asking quite alot of people so if u dont mind could i perhaps ask whether u could give me some info?
@mcrchick89 they arn't aggressive fish. It's only their own species they are aggressive to, and anything that looks like their species, like male guppies.
My betta looks exactly like this he has the white outlining on his fins ! X) Im so sorry he died poor baby X( but ghost srimp arnt ideal to put in the tank bettas are independant exept for spawning time thats it . X( sorry he passed..
I am sorry that he died, but that tank was way to small for any of those fish. Bettas should have atleast 5 gallons and tetras need atleast 10 gallons :(
i love your tank! did you ever have any problems with the neon tetras and your betta? i have a three and a half gallon tank and i'm interested in putting in some tetras or glofish. thanks!
I have a betta very similar, he shares a 10 galllon tank with a male and female mollie, and two ghost shrimp. "Rocky" has a very good disposition, but rules his roost. He is a very happy betta!
Awww your betta wants to be on the camera lol must love the attention! :) i have neon tetras but i might be getting a betta for christmas. Btw its really pretty! =w=
If you put the neons in first an let them get use to the tank then put your Betta in they will be less stressed and will know where to hide. Some bettas are too aggressive though
God you Betta is GORGEOUS! I got mine five years ago and he's happy and healthy, but he lost color and his fins look bad because he *had* fin rot :(. He's fine now! I love your tank!
i read you need like 6 or 7 tetras so they can school. thats how i started and they got along great with my male crowntail. however, he grabbed one by the tail once but doesnt anymore. i have a 5 gal
I find it stupid to say that is the happiest Siamese fighting fish how to you know it he would be more happy at his real environment you have done a good job thaw bat don't tell that is the happiest Siamese fighting fish there is now happiest fish in an aquarium
@DCV19 Bettas live fine with other fishes (depending on which type tho) and neon tetras are fine to live with bettas just remember get a few neons as they feel safer in groups.
@pkonnoobs my betta fish died as well so we can relate :( it was a half moon king female. It got ich somehow and i changed water like everyday :/ yours was probably depressed it happens sometimes you just gotta move on :(
@CarliePets oh ok thanks! ^_^ but bad news .... mmy beta died 2 days after i got him when i was cleaning his cage i put him back in his cage and then he got hyper and mad and was jumping and it looked like he was kinda into shok
my mum had one he had verry droopy fins and a droopy tail he was verry happy but his tail and fins make him look misarable btw he was dark blue he lived with a single cory
Can Ghost Shrimp tolerate AQUARIUM salt? I follow the rule of 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons, and the tank I am getting is 3 gallons, so 3/5 of a tablespoon. Is this okay?
I also read that ghost shrimp are sensitive to water changes. How can you make sure the ghost shrimp will not die from stress or whatever? Please respond, and thank you.
@Ilikepenguins333 hmm, when i had my ghost shrimps i did 100% water changes for my betta and they lived with him,(i conditioned the water for only about 10-20 min) they seemed fine and i think they can tolerate more than what people say.
@fishrockz23 OH EM GEE! First of all. I doubt its the light, possibly a red light from the video device. And the tetras will not inter fear with the betta at all. I would be more concerned about the shrimp.
:o ooooooohhh.. that's an awesome beautiful healthy tank! :D I got me a 5 gallon with Bluegrass the Betta and 2 Ghost Shrimp. The tank and stuff and shrimp are new, all done yesterday. Think I'll add some Tetras if they can do without a heater like these other critters. btw I have done my research so I hope nobody tells me wut to do. :p
Are the tetras still okay with your betta? I'm moving my betta to a 10g next week and I wanna put in 8 neons with him, but I did a google search and some sites say that it's okay and others say that the betta would try to eat them or the neons would nip the betta's fins, so I don't know what to believe...
@fishrockz23 I agree with you on removing the neon tetras part, but I disagree the part about getting rid of the filter, and light due to the fact that those are both necessary for the Betta's health and survival. Also an active Betta is a happy and healthy one.
I think he was very lovely! Your tank size looked just fine too.
