Betta and guppies

[bozco]

I've read alot about betta fish. Had one for a week but it turned grey and sunk to the bottom of it bowl...that was weird, I think he was old when I bought him though. Anyway back to my point.
I've read that a male betta will do just fine in a comunity aquarium because they are only agressive towards each other. I'd have put my betta in my comunity tank but that was back when my tiger barb was still alive. Anyway, I was wondering if I put a betta in with my guppies would they fight? You see some of my guppies have the big delta tails so is it possible that a betta would mistake a fancy guppy for another betta fish?

One of my hallmates reported that his betta killed off his beloved guppies and I do not think they were even delta tails. Based on his experience, I would err on the side of caution.

I've kept a docile betta with some wild type guppies before but they didn't have fancy tails.

Er...This thread is 5 years old.:D Betta splendens are not suitable with bettas in general though.

Oh. I tend not to pay much attention to things.

How are people even finding 5 year old posts?I see the thread finder at the bottom of a thread that relates to the threads title but does it show old posts too?
