I would not do this. Males and females fight aggressively. Even in a larger tank like yours I would not take the risk.

Also male bettas are known to attack male guppies due to their flowing fins that remind them of another betta. Use caution when introducing them.

Good luck!

I would not do this. For one, the blood fins will more than likely nip to death, and two, i would only recommend this if you have TONS, and I mean TONS of hiding places and a lot of other species in the tank for them to be distracted with. Even then it's not likely to work.

I had put my betta in with guppies before and it was horrible. He was a terror in the tank, by himself he was very docile. I wouldn't recommend it but others have had good luck in this area. It depends on the fish but generally a bad idea.

Definitely do not do it. You especially can't have female bettas in with your male.
