With a betta, should I wait to add him until I have the other fish in the tank so that he doesn't establish his territory?

With a betta, should I wait to add him until I have the other fish in the tank so that he doesn't establish his territory I have a 5 gallon tank that I just got set up in my dorm room and I have my betta waiting to see his new home. This is my first tank and I got some help from the local fish store for the set up. I am planning on getting some fish to accompany my betta but should I put them in the tank before my betta?

I know that bettas don't get along so im being advised from the guys at the fish shop with what fish to get with the betta. Asked by Robber15 2 months ago Similar questions: betta wait add fish tank doesn't establish territory Pets > Fish.

Similar questions: betta wait add fish tank doesn't establish territory.

I added a betta to community fish, and it worked out well. It makes sense that its territory hadn't been established, and so it floated, watched, mingled, but never nipped. HOWEVER, it hindered my getting different kinds of community fish in the future.

Eventually, I ended up separating the betta in a 2.5 gallon tank, which has worked out well. Good luck! .

That would probably be your best bet with a aggressive fish.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
