A Hermit Crab and a Beta fish???

Question

I have a boy beta fish and for my birthday i might get a hermit crab, would it be okay to have their cages next to each other maybe for company??do you think they would fight?

Answer 1

Why is that funny to me?

Smart

Answer 2

no they wouldn'y do good together in the same tank for one hermit crabs need land and bettas need water....they also have different diets...

Answer 3

umm they cant fight each other in different cages... and anyway male betta's only fight other males and other "flashey" fish ( goldfish etc.) but hermits need land so if u want a crab get a fiddler or something

Answer 4

it would be okay they will not fight unless ur beta will jump out and go in to ur hermit crabs tank just don't put them in the same tank plz

Answer 5

1. bettas & hermits go in tanks, not cages.

2. the betta might get stressed & flare at the hermit. our bettas flare at everything. it'd be best to keep them separate.

oh, and don't under any circumstance put the crab in the betta tank.
