Best Answer

Usually Yes

I had a 30 gallon fish tank with 5 neon tetras, 4 cardinal tetras, 3 zebra danios, 2 swordtails, a dwarf gourami, a bunch of ghost shrimp, an otto catfish, and a red betta.

The betta didn't pick on any of the other fish, even the neons and ghost shrimp. It was highly peaceful and had quite an appetite.(Not to mention cute

As long as all the other fish

a. Are not long finned

b. Reasonably quick

c. Don't look like a betta(like guppies)

and the tank is

a. Large(like mine)

b. Not overcrowded

c. Well planted and filtered

The betta will be happy and get along fine with all the other fish

How do you make your betta not to hurt other fish?

By not adding other fish? You'll be surprised that in most cases its the betta who is the victim. Betta is such slow swimmer and they have large fin, which makes them perfect target for fin nippers. Although, you can add bottom feeders such as Corydoras catfish into the same tank as a betta, they do not occupy the same level.


Is there any negative effects placing gold fish with tropical fish?

Most fish get along well. However, do NOT mix betta fish with other fish. Not even another betta. You have to have a permit to have to betta fish in the same tank with eachother. Betta fish are only mixed to mate. Bettas are not born in the egg. They come out as a very small fish. After the betta babies have come out, all of the fish are seperated. Even the parents, if the betta babies are left in the tank with the others the betta parents are very likely to eat the others.


What fish are like betta's?

There are over 20 members of the Betta family that I know of. They are all small fish and all have the same labyrinthine breathing system. None of them have the magnificent finnage of the common Betta splendens though. Other relations of the Betta are all of the other Anabantids including the Gouramies.
