It is a dream fish home.

I wonder how this betta is aparently so calm and not attacking between these fishes.

My husband think it is not a real picture. I mean the fishes there. Not the tank.

But Each globo the betta looks different and so is the enviroment around him.

    Bettas only attack other bettas or fish that resembles themselves (gouramis). That’s not even a real pic.

    Contrary to the popular belief, bettas actually can get along with other fish. Females can get along with other females (only if they form a group of three or more) and males, although they cannot get along with any other bettas, male or female, can get along with non aggressive community fish that do not resemble bettas (long flashy fins).

    Sometimes the bettas will get along with other species of fish, its just other bettas they will fight with. I’ve kept betta fish with platties, mollies and swordtails before with no problems, as long as your tank is big enough, but its usually advised to keep the betta with no other fish because sometimes there are problems keeping them with other fish such as fin nipping. But usually its the other fish in the tank that will be harassing the betta because of its long fins.

    Because people seem to be grossly misinformed about betta behavior. They are not horribly aggressive fish. They are somewhat territorial but only to their own kind. They do sometimes feel threatened by other fish with similar features (i.e. long flowing fins and similar colors). I have kept male bettas with many other community fish with no problems at all. I’ve even kept a male betta with females with no problems. People are given wrong information, take it for truth and spread it around, without bothering to do any real research on the matter. Bettas are relatively peaceful fish.

    you could keep male bettas with other fish, as long as there are not more than 1 male , and that the other fish arent aggressive, since they will tend to nip at the fins

    OMG that tank is is cool gimme the site

    If you look at the other pictures you can see that they are dwarf gouramis, not bettas. I can only see one betta (the blue one), and as everyone else has said, a betta is generally only aggressive towards other bettas.

  • Serenade said:

    While Betta fish are known to attack other fish, it’s not like they’re blood-thirsty fiends whose only mission in life is killing all other moving objects around. It’s like seeing pictures of humans posing next to lions. They may be docile in that one situation, but you still shouldn’t approach one under uncontrolled conditions.

  • Wayne J said:

    It depends, Maybe the fishes are suitable for fighting fish?

  • RLP said:

    Yes, they usually can live with those fish, they do get along with gourami’s and such.

    The aquarium is real, and the picture is real.. You can get it here:
