My betta killed my SAE

Because it’s in only 3 gallons. There are two types of bettas, the 1 in a million that gets along with others, or the mean ones.
3 gallons is barely enough for a single betta, and they are very territorial. Once it decided the sae was no good, it killed it.
Sae needs a much larger tank anyway.

Today morning i fed both both had their apettite
I saw betta chasing the SAE ocassionaly
They were in a large 3 gallon planted bowl
Now waht I see is a dead algae eater at the bottom
Why betta killed it?
Sorry for the loss. Territorial issue possibly or Betta disliked the SAE. Most species like space so 3 gallons is minimal for the Betta.
You put them in a 3 gallon bowl, that’s why. The sae would have died either way if he stayed in there as he would have grown too large, had too high a bioload, and potentially used up all of the oxygen. That is assuming you weren’t going to upgrade them.Today morning i fed both both had their apettite

Not true whatsoever, it is false information, betta splendens that share tanks with other fish without problems are not rare especially not 1 in a million.
Yes, you are right.
I meant that in such a small tank the betta is much more likely to have tankmate issues than in a proper tank size. Same with any aggressive fish.
I definitely exaggerated too much.
I have a male betta that loves other fish he’s extremely nice lol
Yes I over-exaggerated betta aggression. Mild tempered bettas are not that rare, but tankmate and tank size makes a huge difference.
I have had bettas go tetra hunting, and another get harassed by platies.
What I meant to say is that almost all bettas, even the nicest ones, are prone to cause aggression. One that is 100% peaceful in any situation is rare.
Yea I meant mine is peacuful I used to have 2 male bettas I’m a community tank but one got ate by a frog in the tank but. The one I hate now is beautiful and extremely nice
The two males never fought? How big?
What kind of frog? I’m picturing a dwarf frog eating a betta but clawed seems more likely.
Yea I have two albino clawed frogs both about full grown I’ll post a picture in a minute and no the two bettas never fought
