As we have already mentioned, Betta fish are also called Siam fighters.This is not a coincidence, and it is a species that can become very aggressive.This quality is predominant in males, which are very territorial with other males of the same species.This implies that Bettas males can never live in the same aquarium (something that does not happen with females, if they are able to share the same space).
The water in the Bettas fishbowl should be kept between 24º and 30º and it is preferable not to use tap water, since they are better maintained in waters with acid pH.Therefore, before adopting a companion for your Betta , the first thing you should know is if you could adapt to this type of habitat.
The more fish you try to combine in the same aquarium, the bigger this should be.Due to its territoriality, the Bettas need a lot of space so you can live comfortably with others.If you are going to have three or four pe together with a fish tank of 30 to 40 liters will suffice, however, if you want to create a larger community, you will need one of at least 100 liters and thus avoid possible confrontations.Vegetation and other places in the that the fish can "hide" will be essential.

One Once we know the basic rules of coexistence of this species and we know with which it does not get along, we can complete our aquarium with the fish compatible with the Betta fish:
- Bottom fish, such as Chupalgas or Ancistrus.
- Passive fish, such as Rhodostomus Hemigrammus.
- Invertebrate species, such as freshwater mussels or snails.
- Fishes with attitude Quiet, like the Corydoras or the Kuhlii.
- Colonies of live food from which the Betta feeds, such as the Daphnia.
- The Betta females themselves.females can get along well with a male and, in addition, this will facilitate the breeding of Betta fish.
Remember that whatever your new Betta companions are, everyone should be comfortable and adapt well to its new habitat, so you should strive to know the attitude of each species well before acquiring it and increase your aquatic family.
