Betta Tank

[Pmcgoldie]

I've had a Betta fish before, and I know that you shouldn't pair the males with other males...this may sound like a stupid question, but could I put a Betta fish in a balloon belly tank...or would they go psycho?

Personalities vary with the Betta... You could try it but make sure you have a backup tank ready at a moments notice. It may take a few days of adjustment... I've had Bettas work in community tanks. It took a few days for one of them and she settled down and got along well.

My current Betta has his own 10g cause he deserves it. Kinda a tribute to the Bettas of my past that lived in cold little bowls before I knew any better

Awesome! would you recommend a female or male Betta in that situation?

I've done it successfully with both... Oppositely Have also seen equal aggression and placidness ... Doesn't matter sex in my experience.

I'd wait until your water parameters level out and tank finishes it cycle before adding another fish tho... He or she could be your reward for all your hard work

Ok, when my tank gets all situated, I think that I might give it a shot! Thanks for your help
