Problem
I have just figured out The female Guppy ate ANYTHING , FRY, ripped Plants to pieces, bite my CPDS not nice. She is in time out in the net, I feel guilty her being in the net. Betta HAS BEEN EVEN NAUGHTIER! Killed a fry and bit the tail off a CPD, and took an eye and jaw of CPD. Can a full grown female and Betta live in a 5 gallon, planted, cycled together? These are the options

Guppy in the net, Betta in the 5 gallon
Guppy in the 5, Betta in the net
Together in the 5 gallon.

What to do?
 
I can't take them back. I have had them way too long. I didn't think anything about the betta. I planned on him going in the 5 and the female staying in the 29 with her fry. But She just turned nasty and tore apart plants, ate fry, chased the other fish keeping them from eating. She actually chase all the other fish away from the top of the tank and nearly died of bloat from all the food. I can't have another tank. I have no place to put another tank. I am having problems changing water as it is. My water changer doesn't reach all of the tanks. I went from working 30 hours to 40 hours per week. I might do a trial as both in the 5 well planted tank. She's bigger than him. I think she could hold her own
