Yes you can put a Betta and bottom feeders together in the same tank. I have two Chinese algae eaters and one male Betta in a 5gl tank and no one bothers each other. The bottom feeders need plants (preferable LIVE) and rocks or something they can hide under and sleep in themselves. I also have a Betta hammock (fake leave with a suction cup to attache to the side of the tank) that you can get at any pet store. My male Betta loves the hammock! One bottom feeder lives in a live plant and the other bottom feeder lives under a rock.
If your betta is at the bottom of its tank, it is either very sick or dead.Sorry if this answer is too late.
no
A betta is best as a solitary fish and it would be better to remove it from your main tank and give it a small tank to itself. You can buy very inexpensive betta tank kits for one betta.
He sits listlessly at the bottom of the tank. His usually long, flowing fanned out fins are clumped together. He shows no interest in food and does not flare at the sight of another betta. He is generally lethargic.
The white fins wont be moving and they will be at the bottom of the tank
== == you can't put to malebettas in the same tank together because they are Territorial fish and they will fight until one badly injured or dead. But you may be able to buy a divider for your to keep to bettas.
Yes, females do best together in groups of 3 to 5 in a ten gallon or more tank.
my betta bowl has sea glass which is really dull glass so it wont cut itself
No they cannot, also if you put two Betta fish together, they will fight.
Bettas can swim anywhere in a tank but they tend to hang towards the top third most of the time.
If your betta has been doing anything lately such as spending long periods of time at the bottom of the tank, if your betta has a sudden gain in weight or loss in wieght, Also if their fins aren't moving (except when they are sleeping), and also if they swim at the top of the tank for about 3 to 4 hours
you can put a betta in a 54 gallon tank
