Betta Advice

[Hsieyun]

Aloha! I recently got 2 male Siamese fighting fish, but I only have one 1/2 gallon tank and a 10 gallon community tank.
The community tank has four ghost shrimp, a dwarf gourami, two zebra danios, two mollies, two fish of unknown species (they have red eyes, a silver body, and a red tail), and one snail.

Would it be safe to put one in the community tank? Would they both be okay in the 1/2 gallon tank? Should I get another bowl?

As a side note, they both have white bodies. I've never seen bettas with white bodies.

Any other comments would greatly be appretiated.

One can go in a 0.5g tank (although I wouldn't keep it in there permanently, IMO it's a little small). You wouldn't be able to keep them both together because they'll fight. Another bowl (preferably 1g or more in size) would be great. Bettas shouldn't go with gouramis because they're both labrynth fish, and your danios might nip the betta's fins.

Completely agree Go too walmart and get two one gallon bowl preferably

It sounds like your 10 gal is pushing the limit now. An inch of fish per gallon would make it pretty well full. The white betta is probably an opaque. The males will need at least a gal of water each. You will have to do water changes often. I prefer to give them 2 gals each, so they have more room and the water quality is better between water changes.
