has anyone had both male fancy guppies and a male betta in the same tank? I have two guppies and was considering getting a betta..but dont know if they are compatible. some places say they are others say they are not...
 
Bettas are the (in)famous Siamese Fighting Fish. They will attack other bettas and fight them to the death. They have also, from time to time, mistaken other fish with lots of finnage for their own kind. So, fancytail guppies, fancy goldfish, Lyretails mollies etc. can be subject to this aggression. I would advise you not to add a betta to a setup with guppeis already in it.
