I have two bettas in a divided tank2007-11-24 23:36:36

One betta is on one side and one is on the other. They just got in and they are flaring a lot! Is this ok? The divider is blue but kind of see through. They can't get to each other. Is this ok or should I have two tanks?

Answers:

I would go with two tanks. They could become stressed and die from flayering there gills all day and using all there energy.

They are very pretty and interesting fish. I have had several in comunity aquariums over the years. In a big tank they are very active and come right to the top when it's time to get fed.

Just because they can servive in thouse little bowls does not mean they like it in there. Put one in a larg tank and you well be amazed.

two tanks is better(and put something between the 2 so they cannot see each other)

bettas do that..and it can stress one or both out and kill them

I'm assuming there both male bettas if there flaring at each other, so If I were you I'd seperate them. Bettas can jump, especially when theres something on the otherside that they want. Also the flaring up is natural they'd flare up if you put a mirrior up to the tank. But, I would strongly recommend putting one in a different tank, if you don't you could have two less fish..

Good Luck

Their fine. Your suppose to divide them. But my uncle had some and he had too separtate tanks for them so you might want to do that.

as long as there seperated and not killing each other.i think it's ok.

that is not good at all. bettas are essentially fighting fish and are very territorial. if you put 2 in a big pond they will fight to the death. even thug the tank is seperated there can still be issues. because they can see each other closely they will always try to fight even if they cant which cant be to good for their health. the best thing would be 2 get 2 tank and seperate them give the tanks a decent distance from each other thay way they wont crowd each oth . do this as soon as possible

you can leave them in the tank with the dividers as long as they stay on both side of the line. are you saying one a female and one a male or do you have two males.
