sorry to all betta lovers

[bubbs]

I introduced a lovely blue betta into my tank about 10 days ago and since then, my favourit guppy has lost three quaters of his tail.

At first i gave the betta the benefit of the doubt but i caught him in the act of 'nipping' the other day so feel he will have to go back to the lfs.



sorry.......

Well sorry to say and I don't mean it offensively you should do proper reasearch before you buy the fish. If you did, you'd know bettas aren't recommended with guppies.

Keep the betta, ditch the guppy.

why didnt you just get a nice little 1gal and put it on a table?

 

[Loach Man]

No kidding, just get a 1 gallon, a 10 gallon, those only cost about $9. That or get rid of the crummy guppy

 

[GuppyDude]

noo, keep em both, guppys and bettas are both awsome just buy him a bowl.

Yep, no surprise there, Bettas see male guppies as competition because of their fancy flowing tails, so should not be kept together. As has been said over and over here by experts, Bettas are usually best kept on their own in smallish size tanks.

I agree Jp, I got a nice little 1 gallon w/ undergravel filter and an air pump(very nice) and light and hood for $10 at walmart, walmart around me is good for tanks, not fish

 

[GuppyDude]
