Cood a betta fend off an oscar?

Just put the Betta in a large jar or a vase for the week. This way you do not have to worry about it. Betta will do fine for a week in a smaller container. It will be the Taj Mahal to him compared to the tiny cups that they live in at the stores.
 
Lol ya those poor bettas in the little cups u always see them at the bottom of they're so called "home"
 
:eek: I put my Betta in a tank with two garamis and a butterfly fish and he vaporized overnight the first night. Not a trace anywhere. I personally wouldn't and just do what other say. Put him in a vase for a week.
 
Definetly either hold off getting the betta until you can move the oscar into a bigger tank, or put the betta in a vase or small 1 or 2 gallon aquarium. You can get a nice 1 gallon tank for $7, and it could be a temporary home for your betta until the 10 gallon is vacant.
 
I think i'll do that do bettas need a heated home?
 
I guess they don't need it (I think I've read they tolerate a range of temps. better than some other fish), but it is really best, plus it will help keep the temp. constant, which is very important
 
ok in my ten gallon its always warm
