Livebearers And Female Bettas?

[wet44]

So I don't have any of these fish. I was just hoping to gain some knowledge.

Can you keep Female Bettas and Livebearers like guppies, platies, swordtails, etc together?

Thanks

I have female Bettas with Patys & had no problem, in fact one of my smallest Patys bullies the Bettas

I've kept female bettas with sailfin mollies, guppies and swordtails without any major issues.

One minor issue was that the male guppies occasionally mistook the female bettas for female guppies; the bettas were confused and annoyed by the attention but it didn't lead to any real aggro.

you can keep them together but don't expect a lot of the babies to survive, the bettas and the others will eat them if they have no place to hide...
