feamale betta in cmmunity tank

[slamster17]

i have 4 honey gouramis and 3 platies in a ten gallon tank

the hony gouramis are the kind of fish that go about their buisness and don't bother anything. the platies just harass each other but i was wondering if i could put a female betta in with them. yea bettas gouramis= no but i don't think they would bother each other.

what do you all think?

 

[slamster17]

my gouramis are seriously very peaceful, jhas abnyone ever tried female bettas with gouramis?

 

[wrs]

just because theyre peaceful doesnt mean they wont hurt the betta. Its because of body shape, and nothings going to change that.

 

[slamster17]

wut o you mean by body shape +the female betta would be aboutan inch bigger then all of the gouramis i have

 

[wrs]

they have the same body shape. They attack fish like that. The betta would be killed. ok, just dont put her in there.

 

[slamster17]

oookkk but is this part of the whole gouramis don't mesh w/ other anabatonid or however you spell it?

 

[wrs]

yes. they can go w/other gouramis, but nothing else like them.

Honey gourami are small and peaceful. And females bettas are more peaceful then males. I think it could work.

You should try it out and if it doesn't work then get a seperate container for the female.
