White cloud minnows? :)

As has been stated, it depends on the bettas, but one must consider the long colorful tails of guppies plus their need for water flow, as well as bettas dislike for currents and long flowy tails... You can risk it and try it out to see if/how long it will last, but take her out at the sign of...

No, they're not the SAME thing. Veiltails are APART of Betta Splendens. Splendens envelops all of the domesticated breed tail types.

They were bred slowly for their tail type untill they became the halfmoon tail type today. No there was no lab involved genome splicing or anything silly like that. Just genetic mutation that was chosen for it's looks, and they tried to breed it into the bettas following that. Hope that helps.

No problem at all. :)

If it looks the same type of stuff, little amount or not, it's flexibacter and needs to be treated with anti bact meds, but to be safe, you could do anti fungal and anti bacterial together to knock it all out. Good luck.

does it look like this? -

Definitely add a bubbler. Bettas need it and they hardly use their gills as much as their lungs, so definitely the other fish need it too. Secondly, what does the fungus look like? If it's cottony strings or patches, it's columnaris and not fungus, and needs to be treated anti bacterially.

You mean veiltail..? Betta Splendens are all of the domesticated bettas - CTs, DTs, HMs, VTs, etc..

I think it might be too small and itw ill float to the bottom and foul up your water. My bettas can barely eat Freeze dried daphnia, and it's bigger, so, I dunno.

:good:

Alternate pellets every other day, twice a day in small amounts, and augment with live/frozen foods in between. Skip on Sunday.

The bettas will attack/kill the guppies, too.

Exciting, cant' wait to see. :) How are you housing him?

This post concerned me. Betta's dont get fat bellies, they get fat all over, which can lead to extreme health problems. what you're describing is overfeeding and can really hurt your betta by leading to constipation and bloating, which could end up as SBD or other diseases. Be careful when...
