they can swim away incredibly fast..they can also hit with there tails, bit with there teeth and jump out of the water to avoid being chased by other fish.

Many fish have protective strategies, and body armor, spines , camouflage, not to mention just plain poisonous.

Fish protect their eggs in a few ways. Some fish hide the eggs, others stand guard, and some fish like clowns lay them where other fish can not get.

Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself.

Can you put a lizard with a male betta fish?

NO!!! Lizards should only be kept with other lizards of their own species. Some kinds of lizards are fine by themselves. Waste from the lizard is poisonous to fish. Also, Lizards do not need a lot of water, where would the fish go? Lizards don't swim. The lizard would eat the fish. Male betta fish are best housed by themselves, or in a 10 gallon or bigger tank with neon tetras, or other gentle community fish. Also, never house a male betta with another male betta, or a female betta. They will fight until their death. Females can be kept together. Three do fine in a ten gallon tank. NEVER put bettas with fish that have long flowing or colorful fins, the betta will mistake it for another betta and kill it.
