Do betta fish attack goldfish

Answer 1

Ther are at least 2 reasons why a Betta will not kill a goldfish. 1 A male Betta will only attack and fight another male Betta. 2, They should never meet. Bettas are tropical fish and need to be kept at around 78F and Goldfish are coldwater fish and should be kept at below 70F. In order to be successfull keeping any fish, (coldwater or tropical) the basic rules apply. The rules are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs to have a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Keep to the above rules and your fish will stand a chance of survival. Fail in any and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems and will live a shortened life span.

Answer 2

Wow that must had been a really small goldfish or a big betta. and if it was capable of swallowing it whole with out any problems then he should be fine fish eat smaller fish all the time however if you have more goldfish with your betta then he can die of that. goldfish release alot of ammonia when they use the bathroom and ammonia is toxic to fresh water fish so than might get him if he is kept with them.
