Barracuda Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thinking of getting a betta to put in my community tank that currently holds angels, dwarf gouramis and a few tetras. Just wondering whether this will work out? Will the betta and angels fight? I have heard of mixed opinions about this, so just wondering whether any of you have had any experiences on this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 personally i wouldnt,tetras will probably nip his fins off and secondly,bettas like still water so often the current is too much for them in a community tank.you could try it but i would be carefully monitoring the betta.

mcloughlin2 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The tetras would be fine, it is the angels and gouramis that would have a nice treat on the betta's fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petshopdude Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 best thing about fighters is that if you need to relocate them to another tank you don't need a filter ect.. so my advice is give it a go, sometimes they go fine sometimes they don't but you will know what will happen by watching them for a good 30 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuokuo Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Another factor might also be the tank size. I've had my betta with guppies and white clouds and they all lived fine together in a big tank. Then one day i had to move everyone to a smaller tank temporarily and when i came back a few white clouds and guppies were missing chucks in their fins and clearly staying clear of the betta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooder Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 As cuokuo said it wold depend on how large the tank is and the stocking level. my cuz has a 5fter with guppies platys tetras angels suckers loaches dwarfe guoramis and a male betta. as far as im concerned bettas are alright in a large tank. but you can only have 1!!!! cooder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
