Can I Mix Him In?

[ns2003]

Hey everybody, I have a 30 gallon tank with two Common Goldfish, two honey gouramis and 2 mollies. Can I bring my red betta in with them? He's so beautiful i think he would look great in the big tank. What do you guys think?

what is the temperature? your betta should have the water at 80 to be healthy and to my knowledge goldfish are coldwater fish

do you have a heater? if so then yes, and ive kept bettas as low as 72 degrees one at 62 degrees on accident.

goldfish do better is cold water. also the gouramis might nip the fighter, personaly i wouldnt risk it

No No No.......Bettas are tropical fish and therefore need a higher temp of at least 80f. If you want your Betta to stay looking beautiful then please keep him separate. The other fish are not good tank mates either and there is likely to be some agression between them. Plus Goldfish are coldwater!!!!

plus, gold fish are defensive fish. so I don't think it would be a good Idea
