can a betta go with my goldfish and guppies?

Question

my friend offered me a betta. i have 1 male guppy and 3 female guppy. 1 fantail, a regular sized goldfish and a 7 inch goldfish. i dont know how big my tank is but i think it is 20 gallon. {my fish get along well}

Answer 1

No they wont get along. the Beta will kill them

Answer 2

Betta's will not get along with Guppies. Guppies have flowing tails and the Betta will think it is another male Betta. Also Betta's will not mix well with Goldfish. Goldfish are cold water fish and Betta's are tropical fish. Buy him at least a 2.5 gallon tank with a heater and filter and give him his own little home.

Answer 3

Absolutely not.

First of all, your guppies have long, brightly-coloured flowing fins that a betta is likely to mistake for another betta's. So your betta will probably start going for the guppies.

Secondly, goldfish are coldwater fish, and bettas are freshwater fish. They need different water conditions, so they are not compatible with each other.

Your betta will be very happy in a 2 gallon tank with a filter and a heater, by himself.

Answer 4

It's not really a good idea. You have a cold water tank. The goldfish, and guppy really like temps below 72. (Guppy are fine to the low 80s, but not goldfish.) Betta need temps in the 75-85 range. Also betta tend to have problems with slow, and/or fancy tailed fish. It's possible he may not attack the male guppy, and goldfish, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Answer 5

The Betta will attack the Guppies and the Goldfish because they have long, fancy fins. It won't work. Also, Common Goldfish (your "regular Goldfish") get about a foot long and the Facny one will get 8 inches. They need a 30+ gallon tank or you will stunt their growth and kill them...

Answer 6

you could desire to, in spite of the fact that it is going to eat lots of the guppy fry. yet then, so are the goldfish, and hazard is the Koi gets sufficiently massive to eat person guppies, AND betta. it is not which you won't be in a position to maintain a female betta and guppies in pond in case you reside in heat adequate climate, it rather is purely which you won't be in a position to maintain them with Koi long term. massive fish eat small fish.

Answer 7

A betta can go with guppies, as long as the tank is big enough. I don't know about goldfish, since they are a coldwater fish. But if they are doing fine in the water with your guppies, then I suppose it would be fine.

Answer 8

I think that your beta would be happy in a tank all on its own....Just buy a good size jar for it, they are slow moving and like to be alone. I don't think that I would put it in a tank with your goldfish thought. frankly I'm suprised your goldfish and guppies are doing well because normally goldfish do better in a tank with their own species since they are cold water fish!!
But I truly think the little beta will be happier on its own!!

Answer 9

Your betta will most likely confuse the other long tailed fish for other male bettas and will put a hurting on them. Just get a nice bowl or jar for the betta. He'll be happier by himself anyways, due to the fact that they are a solitary species.

Answer 10

Betta's can't go with other fish even if it is another Betta it will most like kill or harm the other fish in the tank. just get a separate bowl 4 it.

Answer 11

NONONO. I put a betta in with my goldfish and they ate their eyes first. I had to put them down. It was one of the worst things to look at ever. Bettas must be alone. Trust me.
