To prevent guppies and bettas from fighting, set up a quarantine tank first. This tank will help the fish settle down and settle any sickness before they come together. Besides, the quarantine tank will also be useful for emergency purposes if your guppies and bettas fight. Alternatively, use a plastic or glass tank divider to separate the two fish and then remove it after a few days. A proper tank environment is crucial for the health of the entire community, so keep in mind the following things to maintain a harmonious ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The best aquarium combination for bettas and guppies is one where each species has enough space to live without invading the other\u2019s territory. While bettas will not attack guppies, they will sometimes display territorial aggression if they feel threatened. However, guppies will generally not invade a betta\u2019s territory if they are placed in a large tank.<\/p>\n
When first introducing a Betta to a new tank, the betta may swim too close to the guppies, but this is perfectly normal. Once the fish get used to each other, you can remove the divider or place it in the middle of the tank. Then, wait a few days and try again. Otherwise, the betta may attack the guppies and cause serious injury.<\/p>\n
Some guppies are very aggressive towards bettas and may attack them. Guppies have their own sex and should never be housed with a male betta. Guppies and bettas should also be kept in separate tanks, as they have different water hardness needs. Make sure to provide enough space for both species, as well as a separate tank for each type of fish.<\/p>\n
