Clawed frogs grow into fish eating monsters Also, i would not recommend male bettas with guppies. My male did not even like having his tank near my guppies' tank. Yes, bettas do have various personas, but they are naturally inclined to attack other males and fish that resemble males. I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.
