Keeping Male Betta In Community Tank

But i just realized my current setup might actually work.

Keeping male betta in community tank. Keep them in a tank that is 40 gallons or bigger. When keeping a male and female together. If you do want to keep them together which isn t recommended here are the most important things to remember.

He saw my aquarium and decided that he wanted to hand the fish over to me instead. Bettas are a possible cantidate to a properly constructed community aquarium but must be added with the greatest of care and it would not be recommended for your first tank. He s been with the other fish for a few days now and seems pretty content.

Hey my friend has a male betta that he s kept in a tiny glass jar for a couple of months. I originally had the tank separated but he got around the divider. I ve recently just bought a lovely male betta.

If you want to keep male and female bettas in the same tank then it would be a lot easier to use a tank divider. In the past every community tank i ve had would either have something the betta would harass or something that might harass the betta so i never got one. When establishing a community tank where your betta is the focal point it s a good idea to add him to a tank that s already established in order to cut down on territorial issues.

I had put him in a 30g with 2 suburst and 4 black mollies. Look for signs that the community arrangement is not working out such as conflicts between the betta and other fish or finding your betta fish floating alone in a corner of the tank. Make sure there are no fin nippers in the tank.

It s a heavily planted 120 gallon tank with 6 bolivian rams 20 rainbow emperor tetras 30 pygmy cories and 40 otocinclus. My male veil tail betta is housed in a 55 gallon community tank with many different fish including fancy guppies and everyone lives together peacefully. I m pretty knowledgeable about bettas but i m not experienced with them being in a community tank.
