i would recommend fish that look different from your male betta. male bettas fight other male bettas, and if aggravated they will try to tear apart most fish with flowing fins. they dont even seem to care about size. i recommend catfish and mollies. stay away from fin nippers. and any fish with long fins, even long tailed guppies. you could keep your betta with angelfish too, but angelfish need a really big tank, like 30-40 gallons (for one or two angels).
Ghost shrimp,Cherry shrimp,Gold Mystery Snail,and Mollys are best.But a Betta fish can be with ANY fish,as long as the Betta fish is the LAST fish in the tank!take him out and try again the next day if he is acting aggressive.
Bettas (Siamese fighting fish) actually do need a heater unless they are in a location that allows the water temperature to reach 78F to 80F and remain at that temperature.
If that temperature is consistent, then you could consider some tetras, ghost shrimp, or even some rasboras provided you have enough space.
amano shrimp but introduce the fighter after the shrimp as they can be very territorial!
deffo salt watercoz i have a tank full of siamese fighting fish and i keep them in saltwater
The Jewel Vision 260 Aquarium is suitable for keeping one Siamese Fighting Fish. One can also keep other tropical, marine and coldwater fish in this aquarium.
Two males will kill each other.
you can not keep two males together as they do fight each other
The only fish you can keep in a 5 gallon tank is one betta (Siamese fighting fish) on it's own as that is a very small tank.
There are not many fish that can be kept with Siamese fighting fish. They are able to survive in small bowls because they have a breathing organ (a labyrinth) that allows them to breathe some atmospheric air. While they will get on with most catfish, livebearers and other small fish, these other fish will not be happy in a bowl. If you add a filter, you could keep some pygmy corydoras, otocinclus catfish, ember tetras or white cloud mountain minnows. Each of these are schooling species, buy at least 3 and be aware you will now have a lot more water changes to do.
If you mean adoption fee I got mine for $4.00 just keep in mind that most pet stors dont have females.
no. they are tropical fish.
Depends what age. <6 Gold fish of Siamese Fighting fish are nice, easy fish to keep. A tank with just snails and shrimp is also an option Over 8 there are a few options; Guppies are pretty cool to keep but they are crazy breeders same with Mollies and Platies. Danios don't breed that much but they are not as hardy as the other fish I've mentioned
Yes, they'll leave each other alone.
The 'Japanese fighting fish' is another name for the fish correctly named Betta splendens. They only fight with others of the same species. That means you can keep most fish species that enjoy similar environmental conditions with them.
If two male Betta (Siamese fighting fish) meet, no matter the volume of the tank, they will fight. Some breeders will put opaque sheet partitions in the tank to keep the male fish out of sight from each other. Females will happily keep together in the same tank.
