I'd keep bettas and guppies seperated. i tried it once with a betta that is mellow and got on fine in a community tank and he made quick work of the guppy. so fast I couldn't get the net in the tank quick enough to seperate them

I agree with Tanked, i would not think they make good tank mates. Mine kept going for the fancy tails of the guppies, but luckily i was able to get the net before any more damage was done. Sandy

Same here - my Betta def does not like my Blue Fancy Guppys and kept going for them till I seperated them. Strangely thougn my Leopard Tails dont bother him at all !!!!!!
