(clickable link above title for mobile)
Bro arent neon tetras too fast like they eat all the food i try to feed my beta its a bad idea
2 to 5 years
Bro dropped the hardest fish edit 🥶🥶🥶
Ngl I don't think they need sigma edits 💀
Lmao
fr tho
They do need it
😂😂😂😂
100% necessary 😂
Bro dropped the coldest betta fish tank mates edit and thought we wouldn't notice
The shrimp one depends on the betta, my betta ate all of them
Yikes!
They all depend on the betta
You need to have a lot of cover within ur tank, it’ll help bring back their numbers. I had a tank with 100+ red cherry shrimp and I put my betta in there for population control lol. He basically would take out the huge ones that couldn’t hide in time. Or the weak ones. But having lots of plant cover and shrimp also allowed me to keep two males in my tank along w neon tetras. Both males lived for about 4 years until I killed them on accident due to sudden change in temperature in one of my water changes.
In regards to Mystery Snails, I WOULD STAAAAY AWAY. Those fuckers reproduce so quickly. SO ONLY GET ONE per tank. I would stick with Nerite only snails if you want multiple/need because they only reproduce in brackish water and you don’t have to clean out snails every week.
I just got a brand new betta for my 5gl my other 2 would terrize the snails but I acclimated the shrimp first let him get used to his new home first then added the betta in and it's working so far
Can you add them into the tank? Or will they fight the fish?
I have 3 neon tetras as tank mates for my betta, my boys get along well!
please get more Neon tetras. they are schooling fish and need at least 10 fish in the tank
@@drachan1247sure buddy. Please get a life
Also make sure you feed them enough. If you don't they will resort to fin nipping
Mine ate the 10 of the 12 neons on the first night! He was fine for hours during the day with them when acclimating the and once released for hours.
Zero flaring.
Zero chasing
That same night I woke up to a nearly empty tank. 😕
How big is your tank ?
Nope nope nope exept in a big ass community tank
And my betta still punches the snails on the walls with his head
aw my beta likes her snail friends.. well i assume they don’t interact 🤣but all betas r different. She’s in a 10 gallon just her and 2 mystery snails and all live plants
Yup yup yup. Your tank obviously has no plants or other cover lmao. And you got stuck with an unfriendly betta
Depends on the betta. Mine does great in a 20 gallon long with 4 guppies and 10 green neons.
I think nerite snails are safer bets than mystery snails. Nerite snails have a lot less vulnerable parts open for attack, so a betta that might strike a few times won’t be able to hurt it. My boy was kinda aggressive towards the snails at first, but he mellowed out once he realized they basically couldn’t perceive him.
yeah i have nerites with my betta and theyre great
Nerite is better if you want multiple snails. The mystery snails reproduce very quickly and can turn into a pest
I have 3 spiny marsh snails, they spend the day cleaning under the substrate and then at night when the lights are off, they go nuts cleaning the top substrate and walls of the tank.
@@raudi.audirs mystery snails only reproduce if you let them. They lay red eggs outside of the tank like on the lid that you can remove.
@@alexxandra- if you have a heavily planted tank, it is impossible and arduous to go through that effort. And that is false and makes no sense, they lay eggs like everywhere in the tank especially in the most hidden areas of your tank. Why create work for yourself when you could have something better?
My betta would eat those cherry shrimps 😭
Tank size, fin size, and number of plants along with individual personality all matters. Add Betta last.
Nope for the neon tetras. They bullied my male bettas (kept at separate times) so much that 1 of them died and i had to put the other one to sleep xx
Also ghost shrimp cause the betta would have harder time to see it
I have 5 ghost shrimp and my betta is their leader they duck around too much
I wouldent do that anyways
The first fish that appears in the thump nail look just like mine
Zebra danios and pearl danios are great too.
Bristlenose Plecos are the best on this list 10/10 recommend
What about cherry barbs?
Is it okay if I keep my two bristlenose catfish with my two female bettas?
I have a few live plants in the tank, Anubias, Amazon swords, and, some other plant I think I forgot the name but I know it’s fine for the all the fish that I have in the tank (Anubias is attached on a big piece of driftwood in the center of the tank) and considering getting more plants eventually, so there’s a fair amount of spaces to create space if needed already.
also tips are appreciated
Have you tried seeing if the two female betas get along?
with enough space and enough plants to break their line of sight it will be fine. Also depends on how much space they have
Love loaches, got java and kuhli in my betta tank
What is cherry shrimp doing in this list.
Oh. Do you mean top that tank mates which can be substituted for snacks?
I’m getting neon tetras and I alr got a snail this betta gon stay happy
Used to have otocinclus and mystery snails with my betta, snails did so good I had to sell the eggs but the first otocinclus jumped out, second got it's fine bit off, 3 got back half eaten and 4 had to get scraped off side of tank
Are glo tetras good tank mates with bettas?
I find neons can get quite nippy. Cardinal tetras go far better with betta’s and so do white cloud minnows. Even though white clouds are cold water fish, they are really hardy.
lmao i have the first theee in my 20 gal with a betta
My cousin has the neon ones
I have everything for betta fish for real
yeah thanks my betta killed my newly bought neon tetras
Huh how did you add shrimp with beta?
No don't add... Betta will kill shrimp
Mine are doing great together! I got my cleanup crew of corys, mystery snail, and cherry shrimp established before I added my betta. Everyone seems to be doing great together!
What about milky fish or molly
He xhooses his mates less attractive..very intelligent
I put my guppy in my betta's tank now their fighting.
i have otos in my tank with my betta! cal (the betta, we have 5 otos so we don't have names for them) rarely trys to even nip them, just scares them sometimes!
I wouldn’t do tetras tbh because they are fin nippers
Betta don't need them
They live for 4 years
My bristlenose pleco attacked my betta and had to be separated….
Get Nerite Snails I heard that their eggs don't hatch in freshwater tanks.
Love nerites! 👍
Nah bro my aggresig betta kill thrm all fr i try it
Idk as personal experience I’ve tried three times adding 15 cherry shrimps in my 20gallon tank with betta fish only and all of them will get eaten so I don’t know if they are really good tank mates 😅
those fish are feeling like gangsters with that music i bet
Heck yeah 🤙
how about guppies?????????
Guppies ?
Ummm my betta ate the shrimp in his tank
I dont know but my neon tetra ate his food but then my betta was angry bc he ate one pellet what was for tetras what
Theres way more then just these 10,
But I agree with a of them.
There’s definitely more. Wish I could’ve added more!
What's about Clown fish 🐠???
Clown fish would defaintley kill the beta clown fish are very territorial and so are betas so they would defaintley fight
For people with experience in keeping bettas with Chilli rasboras, is it ok to have a female betta with ten Chilli rasboras in a ten gallon tank? (It has Amazon sword Java fern along with the floater plants salvinia, red root floaters, Frogbit, dwarf water lettuce) my main concern isn’t filtration, since I have two sponge filters and the many live plants, but my main concern is if most bettas are ok with Chilli rasboras, even if they have more of an aggressive personality, or should I just keep the Chilli rasboras alone?
Chili Rasboras are good tank mates for bettas! 👍
I think normally it is four to six mid water fish in 10 gallon with Betta. Since chilis are small maybe 8 at most?
but neon tetras are fin nippers?
A short fin Betta may be fine
Why not galaxy rasbora (danio margaritatus) or emerald dwarf rasbora (danio erythromicron)?
Awesome suggestions. Love it! 👍
Bro crayfish ❤
My betta eat red cherry shrimp
Bro mine ate the cherry shrimps
Keep alligator gar with them,💀💀
Naah man too big. better put red piranhas with them bettas
Yikes 😂
guppys?
Top 10 betta fish food
Great idea! 💡
⚠️ loaches and snails CANNOT live together. Loaches #1 food are snails
Bro guppies
No shrimp can go on with butter that’s a big no because they won’t mediately be eaten.
My betta killed all 5 of my harlequins 🙃
Yikes!
bettafish
I had neons in a tank with my betta and he f#cked em up
Hi
What about guppies
Maybe a candidate, but I’d proceed with caution, especially the male guppies. The long colorful fins might look like another male betta, triggering aggression.
CARDINAL tetras, NOT NEON tetras!!!
Beta also kill tetras personally where best alone
No you are wronge! Betta fish only live with snails or shrimps i suggest
Male?
Wait...are guppies still ok?!?
Would not recommend guppys, they like to nip, and bettas can become aggressive, if it works for you though ig its fine
Guppies*
@@sunnyshine1493 yea...that's what is said...
I wouldn’t recommend guppies as they like to stay in the higher parts of the tank, as well do bettas, and bettas are territorial and will attack guppies. Not only this but guppies also tend to be vibrant and look like bettas to other bettas. If you want tankmates for your betta tetras are the best way to go as they stay closer to the bottom of the tank and out of the bettas way and territory.
I’m gonna get 4 tetras and a betta in a 5 gallon I think it would be fine
tetras need to be in a school of at least 6, so the tank wouldnt be big enough
@@ExplodingOxI just got 4 tetras in a one gallon. Would it be better to keep them in that tank or should I buy a few more and add them to the 5 gallon with my betta?
@@jasonmarshall4522buy a new tank!
@@jasonmarshall45225 in a 1 is just abuse
@@jasonmarshall4522at is very abuse lol you need a bigger tank. Neon tetras will grow up to two inches in my experience. The rule is for every inch your fish is you need at least one gallon and you also need to remember to factor their future growth into the gallons. In your case you’ll need at least a 15-20 gallon tank. It’s also WAAAAY less maintenance the bigger the tank you go.
Who say that?
People educated in betta fish keeping.
I think most of the tankmates listed here would be incompatible with most betta fish
Fake is😢😢
