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?

MASSACRE!!!

@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.

very informative video but can u tell me that Can bettas breed in spite they are differ in colour

[CreativePetKeeping]

@WhiteFishKepper yes, all bettas can breed :)

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.

@SeaMonkeyPrincess Thanks for sharing :) Im glad to hear it works out for others as well.

@CreativePetKeeping Neons and Bettas are fine. My 3year old spendorous has lived with neons + cardinals all its life. =D

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

@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.

[AndehX]

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.

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

[henshooten]

@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
