Hey folks;

I purchased a tank with a divider for two male betas. I placed my male crown tail and male single fin beta . . . . I purchased the tank on a whym, and thought I would see how it works. I have noticed the two males flare at and challenge one another, however, they cannot get to one another of course because of the divider. I was wondering, has anyone else purchased one of these tanks and over time do the two bulls settle down or will they continue to get upset? I worry about them killing each other due to stress, and that I cannot have . . . . I am emotionally attached to both fish, but particularly my single fin, or traditional, male beta as I have had him for years . . . .


Please share your thoughts.

wow.. ur betta looks agressive.. but thats good new.. at least u know they are strong and heathy..
i think as time goes by.. both betta will get use of seeing each other and will not flare.. jus wait and c heh..

Heh . . . . Thanks. It is an amazing site, seeing the fins and their gills flare out. My older male, of whom I have had for some time, seems to be calming down. The younger Crown Tail male patrols the divider in the tank but less so than previously.

Could the stress of challenging one another have any consequences on their health?
