can you keep a anglefish and a fighter fish together in the same tank?

Answer 1

THink they only fight the same species as themselves and the same sex also but not sure. call the shop you bought from and ask.

Answer 2

I wouldn't chance it. A Betta is a highly aggressive fish, Angels are somewhat aggressive and should be kept with fish the same size as they are or they'll attack the smaller fish. Betta's unfortunately are very territorial and do not care to share space with any other fish - especially one that might be considered "prettier" than they are. An Angelfish has long fins and your Betta will more than likely bite away at those. Although some Bettas have been known to be somewhat submissive and will share a tank with "plain" looking fish (zebra danios have survived in a tank with a Betta). The best way to "test" out the aggressiveness of your fish is to get a divider for your tank and keep the fish separated for a few days. Watch them closely and if the Angelfish doesn't "charge" at the divider and the Betta doesn't puff up when the Angelfish gets close, then you can remove the divider, but continue watching closely for a few more days and return the divider if they show signs of aggression. Also, if you have a large tank, say a 50g and those are the only two fish in the tank, then there'd be enough room for the two to establish their own territory and they may just avoid each other rather than fight.

Answer 3

There is no reason why not, although you might get some 'fin nibbling'.

You can keep a male Siamese fighter busy, and happy by putting a small mirror in the tank - he will spend all his time displaying to his own reflection - and leave all your other fish alone.

Answer 4

First, an angelfish requires a 30 gallon tank and a betta requires at least a 10 gallon tank. Second, I would not also add an angelfish and a betta together because they both have flashy fins that can make the betta see the angelfish as a threat and kill it.

Answer 5

No way! Both are very aggressive and territorial. Chinese fighting fish can't be with anything with big fins or that are larger than them. I'm not sure what else you could put with Angelfish. I've never seen them with anything but other Angelfish. Barbs would probably be okay with them as long as the tank if really big and you have more Barbs than Angelfish.

Answer 6

It's probably not a great idea. Bettas aren't aggressive with fish that don't resemble bettas, for the most part. However, angelfish are aggressive with everything. Male bettas are so hampered by their long fins, that they can't swim very quickly. An angelfish will take advantage of that, and beat the snot out of him.

Answer 7

It is possible but not a good idea as they come from different parts of the world (Angel from South America and Fighter from Asia.)

Answer 8

yes you can as long as the angel fish is unable to fit the fighter in its mouth, and do not put 2 male fighters together or they will kill each other.

Answer 9

i dont think that you should, i put my fighter fish and my other guppies into the same tank and a day later the guppies killed the fighter fish, it could be the other way around, but i wouldnt, no

Answer 10

yes. but don't put two male fighter fish together since they will kill each other. To see your fighter displaying himself buy in trio [1 male and 2 females].

Answer 11

no you can't keep an angel fish with a siamese fighter. the siamese is a fin nipper and will nip the tail of the angel fish its not a good idea to keep them together so i advise not to.
