Answer #1

no because the male may attack, tear or even kill the female

Answer #2

you can put them in the same tank but only if you want to breed them if you want to breed them you need a tank with no gravel and decorations you also need a piece of foam floating on the surface of the water when they have babies you need to seperate the babies from the adults

but you can also have a beta with a different species of non aggressive fish you can also put them in aquariums with other fish.

Answer #3

Only for the purposes of mating, which they do in the spring, and then only for a short time before both male and female must be removed and put into separate aquariums so they do not attack each other nor the babies.

Even though one is male and one is female, you still have two betas and they will still be territorial towards one another.

If you are interested in having more than one fish and would like one of them to be a beta fish, most non-aggressive breeds of fish can live in the same aquarium with a beta. Just be sure not to overcrowd. The person in the fish section of your local pet store will be able to direct you to breeds that you can combine, if you’d like to do that

Answer #4

NO ALL DES people ARE RONG THEY WILL KILL EACH OTHER
