The Betta's Compatibility With Other Tropical Fishes As Tankmates.

[NKT-BettaFighterChampion!]

Hey emma , the unfortunate matter of fact is that what my grandmother did was actually a intentional act of deliberation and not to the purpose of the lack of knowledge which in other words define pure ignorance.

Well, she knows very well that it's obviously not right to place 2 male bettas into the same tank. But, what does a old lady ''bother'' about? She doesn't give a #41####! to summarize matters up, my grandmother did it DELIBERATELY and NOT because it was of her ignorance.

I know this whole thing is over, and I am pretty glad that I am seeing signs of improvement in my betta's growth. Many of the members come up with the conjecture that it seems like my grandmother was just ignorant. But the truth is she isn't!

Hi, there are very few fish that the fighters will tolerate, some, like one of mine will not even accept a snail in with them!!
Fighters are solitary fish who really do not need tank mates, the only ones i could recommend if you really want to add more are bottom feeders like corydoras, i have 3 in with my youngest fighter and he gets along with them fine.
I do not recommend putting tail nippers like tetras or anything with bright colours like guppies, in with them!!
Hope that helps. im sure some of the more experienced members will be able to help more too!!

Lol, Thanks Luke_emma_23 for your piece of advice! It was a great pleasure knowing that you took the initiative to reply my topic, anyway I would like to ask you another question regarding the betta fighting fish which I am quite uncertain about.

Luke_emma_23. Yesterday, my grandmother did a very ''sadistic'' thing by putting my uncle's betta together with my betta in the same tank. My uncle's betta incidently won the battle and my betta was badly injured. It's fin was BITTEN OFF!! my uncle's betta was so vicious and ruthless until it TORE OFF the fin and the tail of my betta fighting fish.

I would like to know whether if the damaged tail and fin of my betta will somehow eventually grow back again. I would be very thankful if you could at least tell me what is going to occur to my betta's tail in future.
Hi, sorry i have not been here to reply sooner, i agree with the other replies that crystal clean water is the best remedy!! My Betta Jack got his tail caught in his filter & it was badly torn, with plenty of water changes he was soon back to his former glory!!
As for putting two bettas together, i just hope that it was lack of knowledge on your Grandmothers part & not done deliberatly!!
Keep us informed with his progress!!!
Emma


Gracias, Obrigada & Thanks alot!, Luke_emma-23.

Im sorry to hear that!!
Would she be so keen to see two cats for example fight to the death in her front room?
Your betta is lucky to have such a caring owner & you have done a great job nursing him back to health!!

Hey, emma. Sorry for not being around for quite somewhile. I had to concentrate on my school examinations.

Emma, I would like to know what disease does my female fighting fish has. Recently, it passed away due to very white spots on her body, she could hardly move. Eventually, she died.

during the final moments of her life, I noticed tremendous white depressions on her body. her mild colour soon faded. I would like to inquire what the hell is going on.

It would be great too if the viewpoints of other members are informative.

Pls let me know what went wrong with her, because I immersed her in finrot for like about an hour and she passed away there. peacefully.

thnks alot to everybody who will tell me the cause of it's death. A great thank you.

Hi, it sounds like a bad case of whitespot (Ick) i have had this in my Marine tank & my Community tank, the marine i treated with Ick treatment & lost 2 fish, the community i treated with garlic soaked food & added aquarium salt to their water, i lost no fish!!
I am sorry to hear of your loss, was she in a tank with other fish?

Nope, she's just alone by herself. Absolutely no tankmates. I've always segregated my bettas as I do not want to take my chances in case any conflict might ensue. There is still a high tendency anyway that even though the betta is a male and a female. Seriously, I do not know her cause of death that is why I am still very curious to find out.

VeI've had a fair few bettas in my time and my first one was in a tank with neon tetras. I came to the tank one morning to find 4 tetra without tails.

Since then all I dare try with bettas are large snails and amano shrimp. It's just not worth the worry really.
