Probably not. Most likely one would eventually kill the other.

You'd think so, but no. IMO

No. They would not. For a ten you could get a divider if you wanted to keep them in the same tank.

But be sure the divider is not transparent, if you go that route, because if they can see each other they'll still be stressed.

Not necessarily. If the two sections of the tank have sufficient cover a clear divider won't be a problem IME.

If you can make it such that they can't get at each other then yea, sure. That being said, betta are nosy enough to find ways past barriers that aren't completely secure.

Agreed. They are good jumpers also so dividers need to be pretty much touching the tank's lid.
Okay. Thank you, everyone! I will always choose to play it safe. I will not put a female Betta with him. Is there anything that I can safely put with my male Betta? I know that he will be very territorial. I was planning on completely redoing the tank at that time. New substrate, rescaping, new decor, new everything.
