Re: Siamese Fighting Fish

its not recomended because the anglefish is considered semi aggressive and
the betta is a community fish. plus anglefish are actually a type of
cichlids and will love to nip at the bettas fins.
im sure the anglefish can do more damage once its full grown, they get
pretty big.

I once kept 3 female bettas in my 55 with a 5" angel, 2-5" silver dollars,
2-4" pim. pictus, and a 6" common pleco. Only the angel showed any interest
at all, and he(she?) only swam in ocassionally for a closer look. I was
worried about the pictus cats eating them, but I doubt that will happen. The
bettas will crawl right in alongside them in their hiding spots and they
don't seem to care.
Then the infighting started. The smallest was the first to go. One night
about a week after their introduction to the tank the 2 bigger ones beat up
the smaller one pretty badly. She was moved to another tank but died anyway.
The other two coexisted just fine. Once in a while they'd flare at each
other but that was it. I moved the smaller of those 2 into the "little fish"
tank-with neons, marbled hatchets, otos, glowlight tetras, and silvertip
tetras(don't have the book handy so sciency names elude me). No problems
there either, although both fish are now rulers of the tanks in their own
minds.
