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:(

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.....

Betta CAN LIVE TOGETHER(Like if they are take care of together),SO SHUP PEOPLE.
-
They both look depressing :/ That is not the picture of happy fish.
-
i bet they brothers, or you JUST put them togeather. its slow to start

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.

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

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

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

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.



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.
