What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?
It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.
Basic betta fish needs?
food/water/warm temperatureThe Betta is a tropical fish and needs to be kept at around 78F to 80F so a heater/thermostat is neccessary. All fish need to have a filter running too. The pH should be around pH6.8 and the water hardness around 6dGH. Then all you need to do is follow the basic rules of fish keeping. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank need at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you count your Betta as a 3 inch fish, it should be in at least 3 gallons of water. The recommended size of tank for a Betta is a 'nominal' 10 gallon tank. Bettas are insectivores so they are best fed a special Betta food that is available at pet shops. A few mosquito larvae or brine shrimp are also advised as a nice weeklu treat for the fish.
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.

Should i get a goldfish or a betta fish?
That is entirely up to you. Whichever fish you get you will need similar things. The differences are. A Goldfish is a coldwater fish. It will need a larger tank and filter than a Betta because it grows into a much larger fish (around 10 inches). A Betta is a tropical fish and so it will need a heater as well as a filter. The same basic rules apply. The basic rules of sucessfull fishkeeping are. :- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. (Goldfish 10 gallons. Betta 3 gallons):- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you keep the above rules your fish can do well. If you fail in the above I can guarantee that your fish will get sick and die way before they should.
