the answer is both yes and no. This all boils down to a matter of opinion. here are some really pretty semi aggressive fish that you can more often than not keep with community fish

  • Angelfish
  • Dwarf Gourami
  • normal Gourami- not giant!
  • female bettas
  • it seems, that occasionally Discus can be kept with community fish
  • some species of the genus neolamp.
  • none of these fish if you own tiger barbs
  • dwarf plecos, unless you have tiny little fish, Ancistrus are a very nice species

NEVER, EVER, EVER keep any of these fish. they are beginner traps.

  • Pacu (with less than 100 gallon/ 380 litre tank)
  • Grouper (ever)
  • Goldfish (with your tropical fish)
  • red tailed shark (with less than: 1000 gallons/3800 litres)

Also note that all fish are different. I had 3 angelfish once, one super fin black angel(Aristotle), one veiltail black angel (Plato), one 'bandit' supervail(Socrates), Aristotle would kill anything he saw, Plato would, for some reason only kill Cory catfish. Socrates, wouldn't kill anything. the worst she did was eat my plants....

Know your fish! if he's mean as heck, don't put him in, simple as that (also, make sure you put them in while theyre juvenilles to prevent increased aggression)

Most people could write a book on this but I'm going to stop here

What fish can share a tank with beta's?

The Betta is a semi-aggressive fish, and I typically keep other semi-aggressive fish with them.. namely, angel fish. They're not getting along.. they're just deterred from attacking each other because they know the other will fight back. DO NOT put any sort of barb in with them.. even though barbs only are considered semi-aggressive, it's a bit of an understatement, and they LOVE nipping at long fins.

Will Angelfishes eat Baby Guppies?

Yes if they are big enough to fit in their mouths. If you have fry in with an angelfish or other semi-aggressive fish, it might be a good idea to put in a tank divider or separate the fry in a grow-out tank.
