What will happen if beta fish and regular fish are put in the same tank2007-11-24 23:42:41

On another tangent, my cousin fed white mice to his piranha (they can get them up there legally).

nothing,they might attack sum fish if harassed but otherwise they should be OK.

---

If your talking about those betas that are small and sold in single bowls I've put them in my 70 gal tank and my 55 gal. tank. No problem. Well little prob teteras like to chew on there fins

---

nothing umless its 2 male beta fish then they would fight to the death

---

Depends, what kind of fish are you putting it in with? another male betta? yes, they may fight to the death. but from there, it all depends on what species of fish. bettas just dont fight any fish they are confronted with

---

the betta will kill the fish

---

Yes the Betta fish will be aggressive towards each other, but when it comes to other fish sometimes the tables can be turned. Their are several fish that may tear the fins off the Male Betta. For this reason i don't recommend placing a Betta with other fish, but some people do it and have OK luck.

If you do this i would say don't keep nippy fish this will increase your chances of success.

What do you mean by 'regular fish'? Bettas (not beta) are only aggressive to their own species, male and female alike. Yet with any other species, they are quite passive; in fact, the male betta's fins are just too tempting for fin nippers like tetras and barbs, and he can get killed. Schooling fish like the above mentioned are also much faster swimmers than the betta. This combination of fin tearing and stress = dead betta.
