Crowntail Betta With Guppies

Larger tanks give the other fish chances to swim clear of the betta in case he does want to chase them.

Crowntail betta with guppies. I had a female betta that seemed to ignore my male guppies completely until randomly one day i walked in and caught her actively biting off one of the guppies tail. Especially their huge caudal fin. Guppies are not the brightest fish and don t tend to learn to stay away from anyone and female bettas tend to go from one extreme to another at a moments notice.

I use to have 3 male guppies in a 20g with a betta and they had bite marks in their tails. They are known for their aggressive nature and specific fin characteristics. Obviously the betta won t be pleased with this and may.

Male guppies often mistake female bettas for guppies. Betta s just think a male guppy is a threat as in they could think it s another male betta because of the size of the tail. A lot also depends on your tank size.

And try to breed with them. The crowntail betta is a small freshwater fighting fish that has origins back to south asia. Female bettas aren t as aggressive as males so you d think it would be okay to put male guppies in with them.

Hope you enjoy the video. The crowntail was first bred by indonesian breeder achmad yusuf in 1997 when he named the fish cupang serit at an international betta congress. Bettas and fancy guppies can apparently be together successful betta tank mates i have had experience with pleconeon tetr.

Betta can go after male guppies with big tails. So a quick background on my betta his name is ruben and he is a crowntail when i first got him he stayed in my tank with all my guppies for a few days due to a faulty breeding box i know i should have prepared prior to bringing him home but it was an impulse buy and didn t have time to set up my divider before going to work and he seemed to love it now only the baby guppies can get.
