Why is my betta fish so aggressive
I recently purchased a crowntailed betta fish about a month ago. He started showing signs of boredom and was nipping his fins, so I decided to get him some stimulation and bought an african dwarf frog. They both have plenty of room in their tank , but I am afraid for my frog's health. My betta has never shown aggression until now. He is constantly flaring and nipping at this poor little frog every chance he gets, and I'm afraid I will have to separate the two. I was told that they were compatible tankmates, but I guess I was proven wrong. Will my betta eventually calm down and accept my frog as a tankmate? Or is he going to keep this behavior up? I really don't want to have to separate them, but I don't want anybody to get hurt. I've had this frog for about 2 weeks now and lately only within the past few days has the aggression been getting really bad. My frog has some hiding places and stays on the bottom of the tank, but I'm still worried. Is my betta going to shape up?
Answers:It's difficult to know why the Betta is acting that way. You say they each have more than enough space .. are they both in a bowl of water or a tank ? How many gallons ? What are you feeding the Betta and how often ?.. I had a Betta in a large tank with other community fish and 2 dwarf african frogs and there was no problem. Good Luck! :)
betta are fighting fish and they shouldnt be put with other fish or anything like that
The fish may do too much moving for the betta and that may be why he seems to be aggressive. Bettas are aggressive by nature so that's why they are usually housed alone in an individual bowl or small tank. I have a betta now and I keep him in a pretty vase on top of my T.V. stand all by his self and he is just fine. You know that they don't need a filter or much water to live in due to the fact that they come from the swamps of Thailand. If you have other fish in a different tank I would put your frog in there with them as long as there not aggressive fish too.
They are NOT compatible.
