Beta and Guppies

[tattoodaddy]

Would it be ok to put a male Beta in with guppies?

i've heard that bettas will attack guppies i've just heard this so hopefully someone will know first hand if you dont get an answer here i would look into it more before proceeding.

I dont think Bettas like the male guppies.. but the female or ones not colorful may work...

Yea bettas and guppies do not mix. I fed my old betta like half grown guppies and he liked them. And he just killed the older ones.

I agree. I've seen a male betta throw an unholy beating down on a CONVICT. There was even a video of someone elses male betta doing the same thing in the video forum.

It depends on how aggressive the betta is. I've had bettas in a community set up including guppies. The only problem I had was with all the other fish nipping at the betta's fins

bettas veiw male guppies as young male bettas,and therefore a possible threat and an enemy.
