I have a 10 gal. tank with lots of hiding places. Is it at all possible to keep 2 male bettas together in this tank.

Nope, not two bettas. But there are other compatible fish you could put with him.

Or a snail or two. Or some shrimp. Or african dwarf frogs. Maybe. Not all bettas will tolerate a snail, shrimp, or frogs. Just depends on their personality. Mine bullied the new snail. Kept him pinned in the corner! :lol:

In a 10 gallon, if you want your betta to have company, get him 2 or 3 platies. They will not bother him much and will encourage him to swim around more. Exercise is good for bettas too. Another betta in any small container, small meaning less than 100 gallons, is something I would avoid.

I have an empty 700 litre (~184 US gallons) which I am preparing to fill, are you suggesting I could possibly put two male bettas in it?

Regardless of tank size, 2 male bettas kept together will almost definitely kill each other I'm afraid.

Thought so, thanks.
