Beta and Guppies

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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.
 
My Betta would attack me! He flares at me everytime I look at him.
 
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
