FAQs

Is it better to have 1 or 2 betta fish?

It is best to keep only one male betta fish per tank due to their highly territorial and aggressive nature towards other males. If you want to keep multiple bettas together, opt for female bettas known as a 'Betta Sorority' in a larger tank with ample space and hiding places, although compatibility should still be monitored closely.

What are the do's and don'ts of Betta fish care?

Do provide a tank of at least 5 gallons for a single betta, maintain good water quality with regular changes, include plants and decorations for hiding spots, and choose compatible tank mates carefully, especially when keeping female bettas together. Don't keep two male bettas in the same open tank as it can lead to fighting, avoid overcrowding the tank, and do not ignore signs of aggression or poor water conditions.

Why are Betta fish so aggressive?

Betta fish are naturally aggressive due to their territorial instincts and the fact that they were historically bred for fighting. They vigorously defend their territory and bubble nests, and their aggression can increase with stress, overcrowding, or poor tank conditions.

Does a betta fish make a good pet?

Yes, betta fish make good pets as they are relatively low maintenance, beautifully coloured, and suitable for small spaces like apartments. However, they require proper care, including an appropriately sized tank, regular maintenance, and an understanding of their territorial behaviour to thrive.
