Can bettas be in the same tank with goldfish and guppies

Can bettas be in the same tank with goldfish and guppies2007-11-24 23:10:31Answers:

Do you actually have your goldfishes with your guppies? I raise mine in seperate tanks, I've tried unsuccessfully in the past to combine them in the same tanks, but goldfishes are pretty aggressive to fishes other then themselves, they nonstop harrassed my guppies, and my betta to death. I have since raised the goldfishes and guppies in seperate tanks. It wasn't always like that, when the goldfishes were about the same size as the adult guppies they were fine, but as the goldfishes got steadily bigger, they got more aggressive, so be wary of that in the future. I've also unsuccessfully raised male betas together with my guppies. They leave the females well enough alone, but do nip and tear my male fancy guppies tails, I have also seperated them, thankfully the guppies tails are growing back, I bred them for their coloring and was REALLY disappointed when half of their tail was gone. Male betas are very much independent breeds of fish, they do in fact do fine with bottom feeders, such as a pleco. If you have female betas, you can place them in the tank. I had my friend raising his female beta with his mollies. He was also unsuccessful in keeping his male beta with the mollies, as it incessently harassed them also. just place your beta in a pretty tank, it can be small, a one gallon's plenty suitable. good luck with your fish. Other people's comments were also on the money, goldfishes do well on their own diet, whereas guppies thrive on tropical fish food, and betas have their own as well. Goldfishes do prefer colder temperature of water, whereas tropical beta, and guppies prefer warmer temperatures. besides that, goldfishes are THE dirtiest fishes to raise, they secrete a slime that other fishes won't be able to survive for long, as in past a couple of months. ever try to clean their filters? Cleaning the goldfish tank's filter is like ugh, the grossest work I do ever:). Happy fishing:)!
