Question

hi i have guppies,molly's,catfish {albino},plec,neons,gouramis, and sword tails and silver sharks, tiger barbs, in my 4 foot tank and i wanted to get angel fish and can i keep them together without them getting eaten? Also can i keep bata male fighter fish in their?

Answer 1

An angel fish will get rather large and likely kill/eat the guppies, and neons. A Betta would likely beat up any fancy tailed male guppies. A betta might also fight with the gouramis,a nd depending on the type the gouramis might go after him. The barbs would likely rip the poor bettas fins to shreds.


PS- The bala/silver shark is going to get very big, and eat your guppies, and neons. (maybe other things) If the gouramis aren't dwarf, or pearl gouramis then it's likely they will start eating the poor guppy, and neons. The pelco , if it's a common pelco, will grow to a foot long, and eat anything that fits in it's mouth. (Poor guppies, and neons.)

Answer 2

Guppies, Mollies and Neons are a fish that, like the Angel Fish, are not very aggressive. Guaramies, sword tails, and tiger barbs are aggressive and a little territorial if you have females of their speicies in the tank and, also tend to get a little jealous. I would be cautious putting an Angel Fish in with these guys because they are so delicate, especially with a male Betta. Guaramies will most likely eat or pick at the Betta's fins. I have seen it before. The Guaramies are aggressive, territorial, jealous and feel easily threatened. A Female Betta would get pis*sed at everything and eventually kill the male Betta. Keep the Betta in a seperate container. They would rather be in a small enclosure, with lots of coverage, with not much company. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

there is not any convinced answer to this. I truly have saved both at the same time earlier and not in any respect had any complications. yet this develop into in a marginally large tank which develop into properly planted. i imagine the idea of a Betta mistaking an angel for yet another Betta and chomping the hell out of that's easily ridiculous,even with the indisputable fact that maximum fish do nip one yet another on the ordinary social gathering-it regularly skill nothin, till the fish are notoroius fin chompers which consists of tiger barbs. I agree that those fish do see themselves because the lords of the tanks, so territory might want to be a topic, yet when your tank is gigantic adequate, has various canopy then i imagine you should bypass for it.there isn't in any respect a ensure that any fish receives alongside-even with if a e book or all and sundry else says so. I were given years of excitement out of preserving those species at the same time.

Answer 4

Angels are extremely sensitive fish. You'd probably have to worry about the tiger barbs and the gouramis nipping at the angels long fins. Also they are extremely sensitive to PH, they have specific requirements for water quality and any abrupt changes can kill them.

Answer 5

Yes to the angel fish so long as you don't keep too many, no to the betta. They can live with other kinds of fish, but not the kinds you have. They need to be with something that doesn't have long fins like them, and something that won't nip their fins. You can keep the females with just about anything, but they're pretty boring looking.

Answer 6

Well, although your tank is big enough, angel fish are very delicate. You can try, but I wont promise you they will live. Also when they get bigger, they will eat your other small fish, or atleast kill them as they are semi-aggressive and your other fish are community. You can keep a male beta in there with your other fish, but he may die also from being stressed out......they like calm merky water. Best to keep them in a bowl by themselves.

Answer 7

You can easily put a betta (or even two) in your tank. It is large enough that they will each have their own area and rarely fight. Angel fish however will consider everything else in the tank a great snack and pick on all of them.

Siamese fighting fish always live alone. I see people keeping angel fish in a community tank alot of the time. I have always kept mine as a couple and it worked well. good luck.
