Check out these Communal Betta’s!

Most everyone is familiar with the Siamese Fighting fish called the Betta.

 (Pronounced Bet’ta or  Bayta) These fish have a reputation for fighting and cannot be safely housed together with other males and even with females of the species in many cases.

Well, What would you say- if I told you there are fantastic ,cool - Betta’s that can all be housed together, look awesome and all get along!? Don’t believe me?

Well, here are two that we will be receiving:

Betta simorum can be housed in pairs, species tanks, and community tanks.  Pairs can be housed in a 20 gallon tank, groups should be housed in a 55 gallon tank or larger.  Pairs should be given cover such as caves and plants.  In a pair or species situation it is possible that fry could be discovered in the tanks.

Betta imbellis can be housed in pairs, species tanks, and community tanks.  Pairs can be housed in a 10 gallon tank; groups should be housed in a 30 gallon tank or larger.  Pairs should be given cover such as caves and plants.  In a pair or species situation it is possible that fry could be discovered in the tanks.  For best results remove a pair to a breeding tank with little to no filtration. The peaceful betta, Betta imbellis, also known as the crescent betta is a freshwater ray-finned fish in the gourami family. This species is native to Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
