Can you put another fish with a male and female beta?

It's generally not recommended to put another fish with a male and female betta. Here's why:

* Aggression: Bettas are known for being aggressive, especially males. Even a female betta can be aggressive towards other fish, especially during breeding season. Adding another fish could lead to serious injuries or even death.

* Territoriality: Bettas are highly territorial and will defend their space fiercely. A new fish, even a peaceful one, could be perceived as a threat, causing aggression.

* Stress: Introducing new fish can cause stress to both the bettas and the new fish, potentially weakening their immune systems and making them more susceptible to disease.

* Breeding: While you might think a female betta could be a good tank mate for a male, they can actually be aggressive towards each other outside of breeding season. If they do breed, the male might become aggressive towards the fry (babies).

What are some safe tank mates for a betta?

* Small, peaceful fish: Some examples include snails, shrimp, ghost shrimp, and some smaller tetras.

* Species-specific tanks: If you want multiple bettas, you can set up separate tanks for each one. This is the safest option to avoid aggression and stress.

Before introducing any fish to your betta tank, always do your research and make sure the new fish are compatible.

Remember, the well-being of your bettas should be your top priority.
