guppies!

[Buppy]

well i aded sum gupies to my betta tank [2 male 4 female] so now im clueless. help please!

[~Erik3.8.07~]

it all depends on the betta itself whether or not it will get along with the guppies. What all are you wanting to know?

[squirt_12]

what size is the tank???
do you have hiding places??
plants (fake or alive)??

[Buppy]

10 gal.real big plants. i want 2 no wut to do if tehy start like getting chased by Gil th betta. [already hapening]

[~Erik3.8.07~]

if they chase them a lot and you think its becoming a problem you could get a divider for the tank.

[Buppy]

divider...?

Co-workers kept a guppy tank with a betta in it at work...primarily to eat the guppy babies...worked quite well, I must admit!

Lots of plants for hiding in...that's all I can think of...

[Buppy]

one just got eaten.........:(

Then your betta is not tolerating them. Some bettas don't tolerate tank mates. You are stressing out the betta and killing the guppies off.

divider...?

like a piece of plexi glass or something you can stick in the tank that would seperate the guppies and the betta, and i would get one quick if there being eaten

The problem being that the betta will still be able to see the guppies and will likely continue to stress out over that situation.

i got it now, thanks guys.

is it possible to use something like a plastic or wooden cutting board or something that betta can't see thru?

[gm72]

Yes, but it will have to be heavily perforated to allow adequate water circulation.

i would just get the betta or guppies another home to solve the problem.
