Wonder if you could help i bought my some today a new betta he has it in a 5g hexagonal tank with a long plant in it. I was wondering if we c ould put a couple of female bettas in with him would this be ok or maybe just one what do you all think?
 
Hi there and welcome to the wonderful world of bettas :D

Have a look at the FAQ pinned topics and hopefully they should answer any questions you have

FAQ
 
No females!! :crazy: Unless you plan on breeding them, which takes a lot of time and experience!! If you don't plan on breeding, putting a female in with a male will just result in a lot of fighting, ripped fins and probably a dead fish! :no: If you want a companion for your male in his gallon you may want to look in to getting a couple of cories, a snail and african dwarf frog. Hope I helped :D
 
how comes you can put them in to breed together but not share a tank confused :blink:

and here is a pic of the little man my little boy has called his Frankie Knuckles The Fighting Fish as he thinks the fish looks a bit gangster

When you breed they usually even get beat up a little. The girl I spawned is now missing half of her tail. But when you breed them you keep a close eye on them, and if they get way too aggressive toward eachother you usually remove one. Just leaving a male and female together w/o almost constant supervision will almost certainly result in a dead fish.
 
Hey welcome to the forum! Bettas are called fighting fish for a reason... males DO NOT get along they will fight.. so its best to have them in diffrent tanks!
 
Welcome and congratulations with your new Betta.

They are absolutely correct don't mix them up it's going to be a royal rumble.
