Blue Crayfish tank

Male bettas - AKA Siamese Fighting Fish - will attack each other until one or both is dead.
You can keep several female bettas together.

Haha, car1b, they're called Siamese Fighting Fish for a reason. If you put bettas together, you're asking for a massacre.

 

[car1b]

oh i know about the males fighting but never heard that about the females fighting
have you had female bettas fight before?

 

[lauraf]

No, as stated as above, you can keep multiple female bettas together. But not multiple males. And no male with a female unless you are trying to breed them and are set up for that.

 

[Fishman1995]

Females can kill each other and can also kill males if there are like 5 females in with a male.

 

[car1b]

well i have bought a male and a female and soon to be getting a few more females
male is a lovely medium blue with a bluey silver tail fin
and the female is a lovely ruby red

 

[lauraf]

You have both the male and female in there together right now? Yikes . . . . .

ummm be advised that betta breeders introduce males and females only long enough to make babies, and even then the females often get it so bad that they die....

I wouldn't advise keeping multiple betas in the same tank.

fishman did your crays really eat your beta? sounds like a bit of a whopper to me....
