Dumb Question of the Day

Will a male betta get along in my 120G with Angels? I thought the poor
little guy could use some exercise.

THANKS

This would depend on both the temperment of the Betta, and each Angelfish.
For about 15 years I kept a male Betta in with my Angel pairs at all times.(of
course these were many different fish over the years)
There were only a couple Angels that would nip the Bettas, and a few male
bettas that would nip the Angels.
I actually had more trouble with a female Betta...she was a nasty creature,
shredding up my Angels.
The only way to see if a certain combo will be ok (when it comes to either
bettas or Angelfish,as both have individual personalities), is to try it-but
have a backup plan ready. Also...don't be leaving the house when you try it.
Sometimes it'll take a couple hours for the Betta to settle and start acting
like his true self.

I'd venture to say, if the angels are smaller, then yes, it probably would
have no problem in the tank, but then again, would also depend on the bettas
attitude toward other fish in _ it's _ tank, ya know what I mean??? Put a
betta in a tank, ANY tank, it instantly becomes that bettas tank....
