Problem With My Siamese Fighting Male

[Efren]

you cannot keep a male anf female betta together, if you want a community get a group of females

thanks for the info - -
i thought it would be nice- like a couple LOL
now i know that it wouldn't be a harmonious couple at all...

i'm still researchin about bettas...
and a bit complicated in a community tank...
lots of cons - -

i learned that male would attack any fish with fins as well
thinking that it was another male betta... arrggghhh

now i'm stucked again thinking what first fish to buy...

true about finned fish, but sometimes females can be the same, my group of 4 females killed my female guppies that had no colour at all

Well our new male tank is up and running it looks pretty good

Just got another 3 female fighters to go with my other 2 so hopefully they will be alot better

il get some pics up of both tanks later

Thanks for all the help on this

i've been reading this topic and looks like bettas a bit much to handle -
i was planning of having bettas as my first tank inhabitants...
now i'm having second thought..

but i really like bettas...
hmmm looks like i have to research more on them - -

Hi
Its not that difficult Just follow the simple guidelines and all should be ok

Dont keep a male with another male or females
Dont keep a male with fin nippers or other aggressive fish
Keep females either by themselves or in a group minimum of 4/5
Personally, and as long as the females dont have longish fins and are monitered, a group of them can be kept in a tank with other fish. Particularly if its well planted.

it's good to hear that u able to replace the leaking tank - -
yah - - i, might be still up for it - but it's the male betta
i want in the community tank -

so i'm planning to put 1 male 1 female...
and in the near future - a few other species - -
depending on who bettas tankmates are..

I'm not going to be kind. If you cannot read plain English, you should not try to keep a betta Efren. I mean... seriously?

On another note. Nice Setup damovts! that is a sweet male . I'm sure he is loving the tank. Keep us updated

Hi ReMz
Thanks yea we are really pleased with the new tank. I think our male is happy there.

Btw if anyone has any ideas how to tell if fighters are male or female when younger please go to this thread.

Yep he is

In the closeup shot of the whole tank, is the reddish fish to the top left of the filter one of your 'female' bettas? If so I think that one is a girl.

 

[damovts]
