Guest Nemo987 Posted April 16, 2006 Because i have an aquarium in my room and my family has a betta. And we are considering putting it in the tank with the goldfish will this work? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gialeigh 1 Posted April 16, 2006 I wouldnt do it, hon. I have heard of putting bettas in with small schooling fish and tropical community fish such as zebra danios, cherry barbs, etc. We keep some male bettas in with those fish in our store, and they get along ok. I dont know about goldfish though. I was told not to put bettas in tanks with fish that have long flowing fins because they may nip at them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulma75 0 Posted May 8, 2006 that stinks because I would love to have one of those white/pinkish betas...is it OK to try and see what happens when you put them together or is it a definate it will nip at my comets LONG fins? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barbra44 0 Posted May 8, 2006 I agree with Gia 100%. They eat different foods as well. So it's not something you should do. The fins on a goldfish are like a big bullseye for a betta. You'd think that a small fish would stay clear of such a large fish like a goldfish eh? LOL 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob the Goldfish 0 Posted May 14, 2006 The goldies would go after the bettas' tails and give them no rest at all! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bettaqueen 1 Posted June 7, 2006 I wouldn't do it either for the sake of the betta. I had my female in a seperate 2 gallon bowl and then decided she looked kind of lonely in there so I put her in my unheated goldie tank and she loved swimming around in there with the other fish, however it made her more suseptible to fungus and she she caught fungus and died. So still might want to keep them seperate. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
