I. What fish can betta fish be mixed with?
Betta fish can be mixed with zebrafish, platyfish, molly fish, neon tetra, gourami, angelfish, swordfish, etc. These fish swim relatively fast and are very flexible in movement. Under normal circumstances, betta fish cannot attack them. Moreover, they are not large in size. If the breeder plants some aquatic plants or places hiding huts, it will be difficult for betta fish to attack other fish. Betta fish can also be kept with sucker fish, bristlenose pleco, etc. These fish all live at the bottom of the fish tank. Betta fish generally move in the middle or upper layers, so there will not be too much conflict between the two.
II. Is it better to keep betta fish in groups or alone?
Normally, it is better to keep betta fish alone. Because they have a hot temper and a relatively strong sense of territory. Especially among the same kind, conflicts often occur. They also have relatively strong attack power. If other fish invade their territory, they will constantly attack other fish. Therefore, to avoid fighting among them, breeders had better keep them separately.
If breeders want to keep them in groups, they can choose one male and one female, and use a larger container. This can reduce the chance of them fighting. Moreover, after the male and female are in heat, they can mate and breed on their own.
