2 MALE BETTAS in the SAME TANK | 2 Years Later

2 Years ago I shared the video of my 2 Male Bettas living in the same Tank after some babies somehow survived all by themselves to grow up in my planted community aquarium with their Dad, 90K views later, it is my most searched aquarium video topic. This is the 2 year update.

I remember watching the original video and being just amazed! It also made perfect sense to me with the tank being large enough and heavily planted with lots of plants at the surface!! I remember the betta police getting their feathers in a ruffle and it was very obvious that they we're not paying attention to the conditions in which this will work!!
I think one of the best videos around on a topic that can be sometimes misunderstood! It really is the same situation with betta sororities. It's been put out there that females can live together but they can be just as and even more aggressive as males at times, if they don't have the proper space and plenty of plants to break their line of sight so they all can have their own little territories!;
Fantastic video Colin!! I hope you're having a wonderful and blessed day my friend! Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️🌿🐟🌿🥰

this is so interesting to me!! I have a betta sorority in my 55gal and have had it for over a year, doing well. yesterday, the two males in my 20gal with a divider jumped into the same side and have been together peacefully. one is more dominant and the other swims away without issues. im tempted to take out the divider and let them enjoy the space together and they’re both fairly docile. it’s a heavily planted tank with floating dwarf water lettuce at the surface. thank you for sharing this insight!!

I was shocked to see how true this is. My 2 are in my long shallow pond by my porch
So peaceful actually.
They may pass but they flare and then move on. It's so neat man.

This video is amazingly made! It shows how beautiful and fascinating Betta fish are and also how misunderstood they also are . They are natural fighters but with a little TLC from a amazing betta owner like you they can live happily amongst one another( even the grumpy men)

This video helped me feel way more comfortable about the two males I have together. One adult suffered from Popeye and I put him in another tank with a juvenile and they have been fine together for weeks. They both have their own floating caves and I think that definitely helps

I have a Dumbo with huge fins and a king plakat.. they are in a 10 with a divider. The king literally launches himself at the divider and somehow slides through the tiniest crack between the top of the divider and the lid like an Olympic pole vaulter get on the dumbo's side (happens daily). When I walk up to the tank they are swimming together and come to see me like two happy little dogs. The first time it happened, I panicked and figured my Dumbo would be ripped to shreds, but they have not hurt each other at all. It's so bizarre. It's also cute and funny, but it also gives me anxiety because if one day one of them decides to be mean, it won't end well.

I miss my white halfmoon "Albion", he would rub on my fingers and lay on my palm.

Very good points there Colin! Awesome video and the tank with the 2 male bettas looks so good! Congrats on the success with the bettas! Keep up the great work man! 👍

Wow what a beautiful tank and thank you for the video

We have 3 males in a 200 litre tank medium planted. They are friendly, even a red one which are supposed to be the aggressive ones and he’s friendly as.

Tried a sorority of 4 in a 55 long and they all picked each other off like hunger games

Good points mate and part of a much wider conversation than many giving advice normally dip their toe into. For me in fish keeping there is rarely one answer to a question and often what works for someone is a different experience for someone else so the most important message I took from this is research is important but the popular opinion is not always the only scenario. 👍💙

Good info, one of the most interesting videos about bettas on YouTube. :)

[Chonsta]

im going to try this in my 37g with my veiltail and crowntail. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try it out 👍

[UltimaDoge]

Thanks for your great video mate! I just bought two female Bettas, or at least I thought so. Well to be fair the clerk told me that it’s hard to say for certain that these female, and there IS a chance that one or even both are male actually. So long story short: I put a young male and a young female into the tank with my adult male betta. He’s pretty chill with the female (of course) but he immediately started showing his coat of arms to the second. There’s no fighting yet, I guess they’ll figure their territory’s out. It’s a 120L tank, so there’s LOTS of space for them.

Mine is a 26 gallon. With lots of plants wondering if it’s enough for 2 males. What do you think? Guess I’d have to try.

[joseserrao]

thank you for this video i really needed this now I can gat more then one male Batta fish for my 20 gallons

[northwestlife]

Wow what a great video! Thanks for all the info! What size your aquarium? How long did it take to get all that growth and life?
