Fighting fish, or bettas, can sometimes be kept with other tropical fish, but caution is needed. Male bettas are territorial and aggressive, especially towards other males and fish with flowing fins, which can trigger aggression. If you choose to house them with other species, it's best to select peaceful fish that are not similar in appearance and provide plenty of hiding spots. Always monitor their behavior closely when introducing new tankmates.
What else can I help you with?
Why can't a fighting fish be with other fishes?
Fighting fish are territorial and can be very aggressive, they will kill other fish if you put them in the same tank.
Can my fighting fish get pregnant by some other fish?
No, unless its of the same breed
Does this sound like a good tropical fish community?
Tropical fish must be mixed with other fish that are well adapted to the same community as the tropical fish are. These would be fish that are non-aggressive, and like basically the same foods, water temperatures, plants and environment.
Can you put a female and male fighting fish in the same fish tank?
no you can not put a female and male fighting fish in the same tank because they will just kill each other
Can male fighting fish be in the same tank as a female fighting fish?
no because they will end up killing each other
Can keep goldfish and other fish in same tank?
Rule of thumb is to not mix tropical fish and goldfish.
Can you mix cold water fish and tropical fish in same tank?
No. The temperature variation will kill one or the other. (Too warm for cold water fish, too cold for tropical fish)
How do Chinese fitting fish eat the other fish?
They do not eat other fish. Someone has been misinforming you. The common name for the "Betta splendens" is the Siamese fighting fish. They are tropical fish and do not come from China. The males of the species will only fight another male of the same species. They are slow moving, quiet and peaceful fish. That is why they are often kept in community tanks.
Can you have two male betta fish in the same tank?
No, because they are fighting fish and one of them will kill the other.
Do fighting fish fight normal fish?
yes, goldfish and betta fish fight.One time I had 2 goldfish and one bit the other one and it killed it.Never have 2 betta fish in the same aquarium or bowl because they will fight right when they get in the aquarium/bowl!
Can you have other fish in the same tank with a Siamese fighting fish?
Yes, you can just not have 2 male bettas together.
Can you give me some basic info on betta fish?
Basic info. They are tropical insectivores and need a temp around 75F and a cover over their tank because they also breath air (the air needs to be warm and moist). They can not be kept with other members of the same species without fighting. Their other requirements are the same as other fish ie 1" of fish needs 1 gallon of water.
