Tropical Fish Facts

Posts Tagged ‘betta fish’

I have a fish tank filled with some tropical fish already, and I was thinking about getting a betta but I’m not sure it’ll be compatible with some of the fish that are already there. The fish are:

~Red Eye Tetra
~Dwarf Gourami
~Angelfish
~Female Guppy
~Black Skirt Tetra
~Bronze Corydora
~Plecostomus

Okay, so i have a five gallon tank. I used to raise tropical fish but they didn’t last long. My koi fish i just recently had died. and so did my other goldfish fantails. But i just got a brand new betta fish. its a male and i only got one because of the fighting. Though i did want a femal and a male just so my male wouldn’t be lonely. I name him charlie. well i fed him 3 pellets today. i think thats enough? and i just want him to live for at least a year, i need some tips and somethings i could do to the water to keep it healthy and clean. i do have water conditioner but i don’t know if i should use it or not. i just need some basic tips and advice really. because i want this fish to last a while because he’s cute. anyways he is small, do betta fish get any bigger? please give me fact answers. thanks.
okay so i am gonna get a new heater tomorrow because my old one isn’t warming the water that good. how much are the heaters? anyways i do have water conditioner. how much do i put in? do i have to use it daily?

My new male Betta fish.

I have recently added a algae eater, a Plecostomus Catfish, and a small shark to a tank with a Crown-tail Male Betta in it and they are all getting along fine. I would like to know if i could feed the Betta Tropical fish flakes or if i could feed the others the betta fish food?
