Can Thailand betta be raised with guppies? What kind of fish can be mixed with betta?

Thai betta can not be mixed with guppies, although Thai betta and guppies are tropical fish, but Thai betta is more ferocious and aggressive, guppies are more docile and smaller, so it is easy to be attacked by betta. And they need different temperatures and water quality, so it's better not to raise them together. If you want to mix Thai bettas with other fish, you can choose pineapple fish or red swordfish, which are similar in size to them.

1. Can Thai betta be raised

with guppies? Thai betta can't be raised with guppies. The specific reasons are as follows:

1. Body size difference: The body length of guppies is generally about 5-8 centimeters, while the maximum length of betta is 15 centimeters. They are mixed together. Guppies not only eat but also are likely to be bullied by bettas.

2. Temperature difference: Although guppy and Thai betta are both tropical fish, they need different temperatures. Guppy's favorite temperature is 23-24 degrees, and Thai betta's favorite temperature is 25-27 degrees. The two temperatures can not reach a balance point, so they are not suitable for keeping together.

3. Differences in water quality: Guppies like slightly alkaline water and can survive in neutral water, but slightly alkaline water is more conducive to the growth and development of guppies. Thai fighting fish like neutral water, and they will feel uncomfortable in slightly alkaline water. Therefore, when the two are mixed together, it is very likely that they will attend to one thing and lose another.
