Compatibility: Bettas are very picky about companions, generally irritated by other fish and do best alone. It is recommended that other fish in the tank be tropical, not aggressive, and around the same size as the betta. They're typically not compatible with gouramis or fish with large fins like angelfish. Betta Fish Species: Key Points, Tips & Tricks

Questions Submitted by Users:
Question: What temperature does my betta need to be kept in?
Answer:
For breeding,it should be in the low to mid-80's (Fahrenheit). For day-to-day living, it can be as low as the low 70's the main thing is that it should be fairly constant.
Question: When I put my Betta in my community tank it got into a fight with my Gouramis. Are Betta's not community fish?
Answer: Well, Bettas and Gouramis do not get along in in the same tank because they are kind of related. You should also be careful when putting bettas in tanks with fish who have large fins, like guppies or angels. Bettas can make good community fish if you are careful who you put them in with.
Question: What should I feed my betta?
Answer: There are many responses to that question--really, the betta will survive on anything, including flake food. If you want to breed them, however, you need to get them into condition by feeding them some form of live food.
Question: I bought a male betta for my son. Upon purchase the salesmen told me that it eats betta bits, but every time I feed the fish he just takes a little bite of the pellet and it sinks to the bottom and it seems that he can't find the pellet. I'm worry that he is not eating. I was reading this site and it stated that you could tell the different in female and male. The one I bought had male bettas about the sign about the school of fish. It's pink and blue, sort of, but I noticed the other day that a white string hanging from it stomach, I guess you could say. How can I tell the difference?
Answer:
The females have short fins, the breeding tube in the females is very small and very short. Don't worry to much about him eating. If he's not actively searching for the food on the bottom then he's not really hungry. Overfeeding is a lot worse than underfeeding. The excess food causes pollution. Males have long fins, and if it's a male you can hold a small mirror up to the jar or tank he is in and he will "flare up" and dance around.

| Pythonlike Aqueon Aquarium Water Changer | ||
|
Aqueon Aquarium Water Changer makes water changing easy. It vacuums gravel efficiently and eliminates spills and heavy lifting. Durable construction and auto siphoning. Built in on/off valve on gravel tube and sink attachment for added convenience. Review: I own both this and the Python equivalent and it is painfully obvious that the Aqueon is way better made. The Python leaks horribly at the faucet connection and has snapped apart from the faucet multiple times. They're basically the same product, but the Aqueon is better quality and so I recommend it.
