	Betta as a community set up for vacation.
fishyd Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 21 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-May-2004	Hi, is this okay for my betta to be in? Just for a few weeks while Im on vacation, its just that I need a filter for him to live while he is being fed by a Wardley Vacation Feeder tablet. Otherwise it would die if those tablets were in his 1g tank as is, 'cause there is no filtration. Just want to make sure, my local pet store said that would be okay... I have: 2 Clown Loaches 5 Penguin Tetras 1 Frog 2 Male Guppies 1 Black Sailfin Molly

The problem is that you have 2 male bettas, and usually by the time you get back, one is died. I've kept my male betta with swordtails and guppies with no problem (don't recommend it). But 2 males in the same tank is a real trouble. Can't you let a friend to take care of him for you?

However, with two male bettas, you would surely come back home to at least one dead. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
