What other fish should i put in with my betta will a silver shark be ok? plz help out? Whats up with angel fis

Answer 1

Bettas get along with most fish since they can accept a wide variety of water conditions but a shark will grow HUGE. Try mollys, guppies, platys, swordfish, tetras, or Killifish. None of them grow too big, and any of them are capable of sharing a smaller tank with a betta

Answer 2

If you want more than just the Betta in your tank do what I did. I bought a tall cylindrical vase (you can get one at Michaels or probably Walmart) and put it in the tank. Keep the Betta in the vase and then you can put other fish in the tank. That way you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Otherwise the Betta's fins get really chewed up and ragged and it wont be beautiful any more. It looks like the Betta is in with the other fish. Make sure the water level in the tank is lower than the height of the vase.

Answer 3

A silver shark get's pretty big, they get a foot long and should be put in a tank of over 60 gallons to start off with. The silver shark will eat your betta and the betta will most likely eat the angel fish so the betta should be alone. And the silver shark should be put in a big fish tank with other big fish. =p

Answer 4

No. that's way too small for neon tetras. in addition they desire perfect communities of 5 minimum to stay to tell the story fortuitously, and 15 gallons of water in line with team of 5. they're very energetic little fish, and in something smaller than 15 gallons would not be chuffed. In a three gallon tank, you could desire to no longer in good shape them in a perfect team, and you'd be putting them with a predator. they are going to be consistently terrified and grumpy, this might up their possibilities of being unwell and loss of life "For no obvious reason" each and every of the time. something under 5 gallons isn't recommended for betta the two, yet human beings do it each and every of the time anyhow. =/ under 5 gallons and you finally end up over-cleansing, or under cleansing, don't have a constructive micro organism colony inspite of having a micro organism wheel...in easy terms a team of hassle, and the only factor they are in a position to help is a few vegetation, possibly a pair small snails or shrimp, dunno with regard to the shrimp however. Now, that's complicated to place fish like that with betta. Neons could be nippy, fantastically if there's a conflict for room and nutrition. they're small, yet quite energetic. which could get a bettas interest. it is not recommended to place them mutually in something below a nicely planted fifteen-twenty gallon tank on the very minimum. you would be greater desirable off with the bigger and greater docile Cardinal Tetras, yet you nonetheless want a minimum of a twenty gallon tank for those. They get larger yet seem an identical, are generally a procedures much less energetic, and even have short fins to stay away from nipping. Now then, despite in case you probably did have the area, that's generally as much as the betta. some in simple terms don't get alongside, inspite of fish seen nicely matched. So save an eye fixed out.

Answer 5

You don't say how big your tank is, but the silver shark needs lots of room. Also he will probably nip the betta's fins unmercifully no matter what size the tank is.

Angel fish are not suitable for silver shark tank mates either, they are slow moving and would be chased and stressed also.

Answer 6

I have a beta in with neon's and other tetras. Currently I have had this one 2 yrs, They are fine as long as they have enough to eat. Angel fish? A silver shark may be too aggressive. Remember Betas have a lot of color and certain fish tend to think they are food.

Answer 7

None.

No silver sharks.
They grow gigantic very quicky and are only safe with other of the same.

Angel fish question was cut off, but they're suicidal and'll jump out of a tank given a chance. I never particulary liked them, but they'll pretty cheap.
Same with elephant nose fish only they can jump through the smallest of holes like tiny extra space around filter or heater holes and they're more expensive than angel fish.
Gourami's are good and fairly easy to breed (don't mix breeds of these either).

Betta Care - Adding Companion Fish and Frogs


Suitable bottom feeders for betta fish are available, but you have to understand that bettas (both sexes) can be pretty feisty and like living alone. That said, you can add a few creatures to help clean up the gravel and algae:

Gravel Cleaners:

1. Corydoras Catfish - many spp of cory cats do well in unfiltered tanks, since, like the betta, they can swim up for a gulp of air. Cory cats will keep your gravel clean by sifting and digging around for extra food and other particles. Since they like company, it's best to have groups of three corys. Two is the bare minimum, and don't forget those water changes! These comical fish will also need a cave or other hideout, since bettas can sometimes decide to play chase and nip with their cats.

2. African Dwarf Frogs - these underwater amphibians are really wonderful for keeping their gravel clean. I never see mine eat, so I guess they don't like an audience. Every now and then they zip to the surface for a gulp of air, and also do not need a filter. I try to give them their own frog food, in addition to the leavings from my bettas. Give the frogs a rock or cave to burrow into, and a floating live or silk plant. They will often hang motionless at the surface, for whatever reason, or creep in slo-mo around the decorations. For this reason, I call the biggest one Gollum.

3. Ghost Shrimp - you cannot use salt or medications with these in the tank, and your betta will eventually eat them, but they are fun to watch and will root around in the gravel for scraps. These are not as good as frogs or cory cats when it comes to keeping house, but do offer an option for those very small mini-tanks, like the Betta Hex.


Algae Eaters:

1. Otocinclus - these tiny wall suckers are fabulous for busting algae off your tank walls, plants and decorations. Very peaceable and cute, and will also gulp air if you don't have a filter. Bettas can harrass them, if they are feeling bored, so provide a hidey hole. Oto Cats like the company of their own kind, but won't pine away if they are single. Watch your nitrite levels.

2. Snails - Bettas will eat the small ones and pick at the large ones. I don't like this combination, but some have had success with the largest snails and more peaceful bettas.

3. Plecos - these do not belong in the betta tank, since they grow quickly to outrageous sizes.

4. Chinese Algae Eaters - cute at first, they get aggressive when they mature. They also get pretty big. Not a good choice, but better than plecos.

5. Livebearers - will pick at algae, but this isn't really their forte. My female bettas get along very well with platys, but platys need filtration, so take this into account.

Answer 9

I am presuming it is a male since you probably wouldn't be asking this question if it wasn't...As long as your tank is large enough that the betta can have his own territory, you can have other fish. Make sure you get nothing too fancy.(fin wise) The betta will think that it is another male batta and attack until the death.

Answer 10

From experience I can tell you that I kept my betta with success with "White Clouds", Neon Tetras, Dwarf african frogs, Bamboo Shrimp (aka Wood Shrimp) and a fresh water crab. He was the bigger fish in my tank, so that may have helped. I don't recommend adding any aggresive fish, they will fight. Good luck.
