Ok so to start of if your advice is that Beta’s are just aggressive fish then thank you goodbye, yes Beta are aggressive but only toward other beta fish (normally) or if u are going to tell me to put it in a cup or flower vase or something so I can keep fish in the other tank you people are also excused (and if you keep a beta this way you have problems buy a real tank) if you have real advice then please read on.
So hears the problem/why I think he is being overly aggressive. I got my beta, fishy, (yes I am vary creative but he is my 5th beta and I’m running out of names) about 2 years ago from a pet store (you know how they keep them in little containers, which seams really mean by the way) well I put him by himself in a 1 to 2 gallon hexagon shaped tank (he seams to like it in there) and about a year ago I tried to put a guppy in there (it was only a little smaller than fishy) and he attacked it (I separated them and put the guppy back in my other fish tank and haven’t tried this since) as I said this is my 5th beta and none of them have ever attacked my other fish, and now I would like to get an African dwarf frog and after reading up on them I don’t think it’s a good idea to put it in the big tank with the other fish (I think he will get eaten). Now I think the reason fishy is aggressive toward “not beta fish” is because he has never been with other fish. Does anyone know if I can get him to accept another fish in his tank (or the frog)?
… And if anyone has asked this question (I doubt it but its happened before) then sorry I really did look.
Ok then we have a slight mix up I call it a guppy but its gray and has short little fins if you know what it is then let me know.
And it’s a 1 or 2 gallon tank not a ½ gallon (ya its small but bigger than my last one)
And someone wrote in another comment that changing the décor and adding when adding a new fish will trick the beta into thinking its in a new tank making it less aggressive I wanted to get him some real plants anyway so I think I will try that but if it falls I can use my old beta tank for the frog / or but it in the big tank.
