You read stories online but the people always seem like they don’t care of the fish dies an I’m not on that scenario. I was just wanting to thrill myself that he could have friends but you are right and we always fool ourselves on the fact that these fish can have roommates when they really can’t. So it was still a failed mission and I lost a good friend through it. I have had only one male betta in my life that got along with other fish. What happens is people start messing around and experimenting and fish die through the process. Hopefully we don’t waste anymore time going through this again. We have touched base on the fact that male betta fish don’t get along with other fish.
I wonder if a female and a male would be ok. Isn’t there some fish out there that gets along with this beautiful fish. I was wondering the same thing about roommates. First you should concentrate on taking care of one betta first. Promise me you won’t fee him those crappy pellets that people always buy. They really do love brine shrimp and blood worms and such. I would just stick to the betta and maybe start harvesting brine shrimp for him to feed on. I think they strike fish from time to time if I’m not mistaken. The crayfish would be all cool until the crayfish killed your fish. I’ve never seen that before but maybe someone else can help you on that. You could get something that the betta may not mess with though like a crayfish. These fish are highly aggressive and almost always kill the opponent or die themselves of anxiety of the fight. I hope I am not being too forward with you but I just want to strive my point across as best as possible.Īs far as tank mates, I would say no because it is a male betta. Back to what I was saying about the 5 gallon minimum RULE. Your only going to help the fish live a longer life remember. Even though these fish are bought in these small tiny cups doesn’t mean they want to live inside them for the rest of their lives. your fish just wants the largest living parameters as possible with the cleanest water possible.ĭon’t get me wrong, those setups are cool but some of them are only like 1 gallon…! That is not enough water for a fish to live. I know that a lot of people fall for those “fancy” gimmick tanks with LED lighting and all these bells and whistles but. You can buy a basic 10 gal at Walmart for a cost of 12.99. It will be easier to keep clean cause it is a larger body of water and the fish will be super happy as if that’s a lake for him to swim in.
If you want my personal opinion though I would tell you to go with a 10 gallon tank. That’s a very common size because its not too tough to move around by hand and you can do water changes very easily by just pouring the tank.
I would advise going with a 5 gallon tank at bare minimum. Are there friends that can go with the male betta fish or no? A friend told me that male betta fish do not get along with any other fish. What size would you recommend that I get for my betta setup. Topic: I just got a new betta fish and have it in a flower vase until I go get a new tank tomorrow.
