I Think I Know The Answer

I've got two tanks (see sig) and I've got the opportunity to buy a 48"x19"x19" tank for about £80 - my only problem is that I've got two male bettas, one a plakat and the other a crowntail.

Am I right in saying mixing two males of different breeds is a bad idea - equally bad as mixing males of the same breed?

Thanks

Yes your right it is a very bad idea!

Correct, 2 males together whichever is a no-no

You could divide off a section at one end of the tank for one of them

both plakats and crowntails are the same "breed", betta splenden.
they have just been bred with different tail shapes is all.

Thanks, yea sorry, knew it was same breed - me being dense!

Not really keen to split a 4' tank just for 1 betta!

You could put a divider in the tank, and then keep one betta on one side, and one on the other.
