can these fish go with these type of bettas. the bettas are crowntail, doubletail, plakat.

the other fish are
3 silvertip tetras
2 guppies
1 convict cichlid
1 CEA
1 pleco
its a 29 gallon tank

Nope, That con's going to rip everybody up. Those bettas are a cons dream target.

The Convict will attrack anything & the Silvertip Tetra's will fin-nip your Betta. The common Pleco will outgrow your tank & the CAE will chase some fish as it grows older & get's pretty big aswell.

And bettas would probably attack the guppies if they are males.

i just wrote a nice post, but it deleted b4 posted.

anyway, a couple of things, when you say CT,DT,plakat, as you may know male betta shouldn't be kept together,and females may fight when they first are added into a tank.

i would move the CAE b/c they become aggressive when larger, the pleco will grow to large for that tank,the convict should be moved, b/c it may be aggressive toward other tankmates.

with the guppies, i haven't had any problems with bettas, and guppies. but every betta is different, with its aggression. some males are more aggressive and others are mild.

My convicts had babies and the male was killing the female. I have a 20 gallon tank I know this may sound overstockted but wnen my convicts had babies I had to move the fish to another tank and fast. The covict in my 10 gal is the female of the breeding pair. My fish in my 20 gal are
3-convict cichlids/all males
3-cories
1-bala shark
1-CEA

Can two gupies go in a 2.5 gallon tank because if they can I can move them to my 2.5 gallon tank. Can my silver tipted tetras go with my gold fish. I'm planing on geting a 55 gallon tank for the CAE and the pleco and one oscar. Can convict be with any of thoes Battas or even a simeise fighting fish.

not really, I don't think convicts are good combo's in the fishes u have...they are considered as aggressive cichlid after all

Can two gupies go in a 2.5 gallon tank

yes, I think they should be fine

Can my silver tipted tetras go with my gold fish

No.

Hopefully the two guppies in a 2.5g would be the same sex. Otherwise you will quickly have an over crowded tank.
