Are these good together?

Question

A neon guppy and a betta. Ina 2.5 gallon tank. Would they be good together?

Or maybe two guppys.

Answer 1

If you want a betta, they best tank mates are dwarf frogs. Two guppies together would be great. Just make sure that you get two females. Males need 2-3 females in with them. Two males would fight and hurt one another.

Answer 2

NO! Betta's do NOT kill everything, but they do kill everything that they think is a male betta. The color full and long fins will trigger the betta to attack them. I say some peppered cory cats, at least 3 in there with the betta, but no more.

Answer 3

The Betta will be good by itself, and maybe with a guppy.  It depends mainly on the Betta's personality.  The guppies would also go together.  As I have read in some of the other replies, it says that they will fight and in all my years of guppy breeding, I have NEVER had guppies fight.  They are a peaceful fish and get along great together.

Answer 4

the betta good im just hoping the betta dont eat the guppy

so watch the tank if they happy it cool if they arent take the guppy out

Answer 5

Betta abd maybe  3 neons would be good. I have a betta 8 neons and 3 dwarf corys in a 8 gal. Best of luck Angel

Edit: you could have both, just depends on your bettas personality. try one guppy then add another, neons would be better tho!

Answer 6

You can put bettas in with other fish, but in 2.5 gallon aquarium that is only big enough for the betta.  If you were going to add a fish don't add guppys with a betta because they may mistake the guppys for another betta and attack them. Neons are good but again you will need a tank bigger than 2 gallons (at least a 5) with a filter, and heater.

Edit: I would go with the betta unless you know how to s*x guppies because they will breed like crazy if you just happen to get a male and female

Answer 7

It depends on the betta. An aggressive betta would attack the guppy, most likely... especially in that size tank. I suggest only putting the betta in there and maybe a few ghost shrimp. Good luck.

Answer 8

no never put a betta in with another fish a betta will kill anything but two guppies would be fine together dont even put two bettas in the same cage onless they r male and female and u no how to breeD them

Answer 9

I would suggest to get 2 guppies.  Guppies are an easy fish to take care of, especially if your a beginner.  Because of the size of your tank I would suggest not to put a male and a female guppy together ( lots of babies).  If you put 2 male guppies together they will fight, one will  tend to be more dominant and aggressive, due to the fact of there being no females.  You can do 2 females, but there not as colorful and pretty as the males. I would suggest doing 1 guppy and putting in either a glow- line tetra, a platty, molly.  But if you are wanting just 2 guppies, you can have them be both males, they will just fight.
