my betta is rly aggressive now my rosy red minnow is picking on her relentlessly, this rosy red minnow was playing constantly wit another rosy red it was rubbing against the other minnow but now it is attacking my betta only, help! 10 gallon tank

Add a few more rosy reds. That should do the trick.
 
my gt lives in my 55 gallon tank wit a bigger severum. Since it was so weird, i mean nobody ahs ever experienced an aggressive rosy red minnow attacking a betta, i wondered if the rosy red minnow was so aggressive that it would attack my green terorr
And some part of you thought it was fine to uproot a green terror for the sole purpose of watching it be attacked? What are you doing? No, really, stop it.
 
The bettas long fins make it a target for almost any fish with the slightest aggression, betta needs it's own tank.....as for the reds, sounds like they would like their own tank as well. Would not continue this study though.
 
Just saying. If I see two of my fish go at it, the last thing I'm thinking is 'what else can I injure today'. It's more like, 'Oh, they need to be separated.'

There is nothing too terribly interesting about one fish attacking another. It usually means "Go away". Then it's our job to make the going away happen. I hope you have good luck with breeding rosy reds or whatever you're up to. Just try not to make a habit of letting your fish hurt each other, alright? It doesn't make any sense. The betta can live in most any heated, filtered container of 2gal or more, so get him out of there for now. I'll bet you could spawn rosy reds in a 10g. Actually sounds like fun. GL!
 
Maybe the rosy red is his favorite fish and the betta should go?

No, wait, wait. First you put the two rosy reds into the canoe, paddle across and drop them off. Then you go back, pick up the betta and row across, but you drop off the betta when you get there and pick the first rosy red back up and bring them both back. Then you load this thread and the ten gallon tank into a cannon and *pow* everything is solved.
