Betta can be raised with other fish. But if you want to mix culture, you must use a relatively small size of the betta fish, rather than a particularly large size of the betta fish. Because the fighting fish is fierce and likes to attack other fish. Keeping an oversized betta with other fish can easily lead to other fish being attacked to death. And when mixed farming, we must use a large enough tank to provide enough living space for all the fish. In addition, attention should be paid to the selection of other fish species in mixed culture.
1, faster swimming fish: If you want to mix, you can betta and some faster swimming fish, such as Mary fish, moonlight fish, traffic light fish, red zebra fish and so on. Because they swim fast and are not easily attacked by betta fish, they are less likely to be killed or injured. If you can plant some water plants in the tank and add some obstacles, then the betta fish will be less likely to attack them.
2. Benthic fish: Betta fish do not often appear at the bottom of the tank. Benthic fish, on the other hand, spend most of their time at the bottom of the tank. The living space of these two kinds of fish does not overlap, they will not meet each other, so they will not attack each other. Therefore, bettas can be mixed with benthic fish.
