As with anything, you have to know what you are doing to do it right! It seems to me that if you just do a little research first, then bettas make wonderful fishy pets. Which IMO the author of this little piece clearly didn't bother to do. (Full disclosure, I admit freely that I'm still learning!)

Bettas have no place in a home aquarium? Yeah the same way pit bulls have no place being house dogs. /facepalm. Some people's children!

i could see such a reason for the last 3 fish, though it may work if you have a sufficient tank. the rest is BS.

Ha I have males and female bettas oh.. and a pit bull ... Ain't I just a rebel.

8I many on here have been able to keep both males, and females with other fish. even a female can destroy your guppies, so...

It's best the public think that IMO. Too many betta being put with bad tank mates.
I bet most people that read that have a tank full of guppies.

ha!!! it makes me laugh on how much stupidity that person has!! > though i am highly against it, only the betta part though.
"females never had a problem"~ Such a lie, and so much negative influence on people just grabbing females and slapping'em into a tank! they don't know the consqunces

yes, exactly i have a sorority and i can be the first to say thats a lie. Females can be just as aggressive. i had a male in my sorority at first( not any more) but he flared at my girls one time and let me tell ya they turned him into a pansy lol. But anyway with any fish, animal or anything (people for that matter) are going to have a little aggression. We have natural instincts. point blank
