hello all. been a while. I would like to add either guppies, or endler guppies with a male betta. i have a 20 gallon tank with a variety of species. i know betta's will attack a fish with large fins, but is a guppy with smaller fins ok? anyone had any personal experiences? and is the endler too small and become a food source? thanks all

I have kept a male betta with guppies.
it was not a good situation for the guppies.
I wouldnt mix the two unless you want shredded
guppy tails.
Endlers should be fine though.

I fully agree the guppies fins and tails would be a target for the Betta. I was also making the same inquire and I got the reverse answer if the Guppies are fully grown and several of them then can chase the Betta all over the place and give it a very hard time,

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info
