How do i know if..............

Question

How do I know when I get a fish if they are pregnant. Can you tell me all the fish I can have with a Male Betta.

And dont say they cant be with any fish. Because I know they can have fish. So please. Name a BUNCH!

Answer 1

the male will build a bubble nest. I have only had my male mate with female betas. I dont know whether they can mate with other fish.

Answer 2

Betta fish don't get pregnant. Here is a site that should help explain the breeding process:

http://www.flippersandfins.net/bettabree...

That is by far the best site I have found on betta breeding. If it doesn't quite do it for you, many more sites can be found through Google.

To all the people who say that bettas cannot be kept with any otehr fish, YOU are the ones who are wrong. There are many fish to choose from, all you have to do is follow a few guidelines.

1) No long, flowing fins

2) No bright colours

3) No fin nippers

4) No closely related fish, such as gourami, unless you have a descently large tank

5) No males with males, no males with females, no females with females unless you keep at least 3-5+. The more the better, odd numbers only. The bigger the tank the better.

Juse off the top of my head, here are some that should be fine with them:

Neon Tetras

White Cloud Mountain Minnows

Rummynose Tetras

Lemon Tetras

Silvertip Tetras

Glolight Tetras

Black Neon Tetras

Xray Tetras

Penguin Tetras

Head And Tail Light Tetras (aka Beacon Tetras)

Blind Cave Fish

Cherry Barbs

Sparkling Gourami

Corydoras Catfish

Pleco/Bristlenose Pleco

Glass Catfish (aka Ghost Catfish)

Otocinlus

Clown Loaches

Khuli Loaches

Harlequin Rasboras

Bumble-Bee Gobies

Hatchetfish

Kribensis

And there are many more. Please note that some of the above fish require fairly large tanks. Also, each betta has it's own personality, and some may be too aggressive to keep with others, though this is not all that common. Basicly, your betta will only attack fish that look like another betta.

Some fish to avoid, for various reasons, include:

Most barbs, such as the Tiger Barb, with exception to Cherry Barbs

Danios

Gourami

Generally, I would avoid Angelfish

Discus Fish

Many/most Cichlids

Guppies

Platies

Swordtails

Mollies

Goldfish

Obviously, Piranhas

Paradise Fish

And many more. I would decide on a specific fish you would like, then come on here and ask if they are compatible. I do not suggest you turn to the petshop for advice, as many do not know what they are talking about.

Good luck! :)

Answer 3

mostly females can. not males much... yeah if the male makes a bubble nest you could put the female in.. but i wouldnt.. if you want like 100+ bettas..

Answer 4

no, male bettas CANNOT be with other fish. you are wrong.

females can

males will be very aggresive towards other fish. not to mention they should be in still standing water and other fish require filters.

if you MUST add something else with them, add a couple female bettas, maybe some snails, a pleco (depending on the size of your tank) ot a chinese algea eater

Answer 5

Hold on everybody!!!!!!!!!! Male bettas can be kept with other fishes, it depends on the size of your tank. If you keep him in a small tank with other fishes, of course he's going to get a bit aggressive and territorial, however, if you have plenty of space and hiding places, you'll less likely have an aggressive male betta towards other fishes.

Same goes for all the other species. As for pregnant, fishes don't get pregnant, they don't usually breed live bearing, although there are species out there that does, but majority of fishes usually lays eggs. And usually, fishes prepares a nest before laying the eggs, so that is a way that you can tell if a fish is ready to have babies.

Anyways, I hope this helps.................. You can have any fish other than big predators in the tank with Bettas, like I said, you need a bigger tank for this to work, otherwise, your Male betta will attack other fishes, also, it depends on how stocked up your tank is, because that can also contribute to aggressiveness. Good luck..........
