Can female bettas live with other fish?

Question

ello

hi i have a female betta in a 1 gallon bowl and i have a 5 gallon all ready with only 2 minnows a sucker fish and a blue tetra

and i was wondering if they could live together?

Answer 1

Yes they can.

I read up on this for my boyfriends mother the other day on wikipedia.org

There they said that when you put 2 females together, 1 will probably bully the other, but when you put 4 or more together, they build a community and can live together, but watch out and keep an eye on them.

Because, it's still possible that you have a bully living with them.

But, that is only if you put females Bettas together, it's also possible to put them with a variety of other fish.

Answer 2

Yes only if the other fish aren't aggressive.

Answer 5

sure, they would go great together. the problem lies with the other fish. the blue tetra should be in a shoal of 6+ of it's own kind. they also need at least 10 gallons, they are very active swimmers. may i suggest you give him away to someone who can give him a more suitable home? also, what kind of sucker fish do you have? as far as i am aware, there are no sucker fish that stay small enough to live in a 5 gal. i would do some research and see what you come up with. i would get two of three more minnows and put your female betta in there. the two species mix well and make a great display. also, the minnows will be so much happier in a small group rather in a pair.

good luck :)
