Will an albino tiger barb fish attack a fighting fish?
Original answer - "i don't know but try this. put a dead fighting fish in a tank that has albino tiger barbs OR tiger barbs and see if the fish attack or eat the dead fish."I have an albino tiger barb, and through my research and experience I can almost guarantee that a fighting fish and an albino tiger barb will absolutely not do. Scientists don't know why tiger barbs have an unusual fin nipping behavior. I emphasize this especially if the fighting fish is the Siamese kind. Long fins+tiger barbs=bad choice. My albino even nipped the other albinos' fins, which proved fatal. Don't take your chances.Sources - "Aquarium and Pondfish", personal experience.
Which petshops sell the female fighting fishes?
Most pet shops that stock tropical fish will be able to get you a female 'Betta splendens'. (that's its' correct name). I would advise you not to use the name 'Chinese fighting fish' 'Cos they may not know what kind of fish you mean since they do not come from China. If you really want to call it a 'Fighting Fish' then use the name 'Siamese Fighting Fish'. Most folks will understand that.
My Siamese fighting fish is off his food he seems lethargic and his water is cold but i don't know how to make it warm?
One of the many reasons small containers are not recommended by experienced aquarists for housing Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is that it is very hard to heat them correctly. They need to be kept around 75F to 80F. Below 65F they could very well die. My advice is to get as large a tank as you can afford and set it up with a heater/thermostat, filter, lights and plants. Your fish will then do well provided you look after it properly.

What kind of water should you put in a bowl for a Siamese fighting fish?
Ordinary tap water with the chlorine removed is OK for most fish. I think you have the name wrong. There is no such thing as a fighting fish from China. The only fighting fish I know of is the "Betta splendens" which is commonly called a "Siamese fighting fish" or a "Betta" for short. I am aware that some of the less responsible pet shops sell tiny bowls to keep these poor fish in. They are setting people up for failure. Bettas really need a properly set up aquarium. The minimum sized tank for a Betta is a nominal 5 gallons. The basic rule for keeping any kind of fish successfully is "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". A Betta grows to around 2.5 inches body length. A 5 gallon tank will be filled to within 1 inch of the top usually and should also have an inch or two of gravel on the bottom. So the tank will actually only contain about 3 gallons of water.
How do you know if a fighting fish is hungry?
