The betta will probably not kill the goldfish. They only fight with other betta (normally). The biggest problem you will have houseing the two together is the temperature difference required by the two different fish.

A different problem: The recomended tank size for a single tailed goldfish is 20 gallons each.

Goldfish are very dirty fish and Betta's have very delicate fins and will get amonia burns easily. Do many water changes to keep that water clean.

Good luck with your fish.

@gnhking anther thing the gold fish can not be bigger than the betta in fact it is better if the gold fish is smaller like a feeder gold fish

@kellypeet first of all how old was your betta when you put your first gold fish in the tank because the pet store guy i know and i know him really well because his wife worked with me . he sead the yunger thay are when you put a gold fish in the tank with them the better in works out and get along.

the betta is showing agressiveness by flaring his gills....

I had two fishes. One was a goldfish and one was a betta fish. They were in seperate tanks. One day, i decided to put both in the same tank. When I put the goldfish in the betta's tank. The betta fish went to the goldfish and nibbled on him. Luckily, the goldfish wasn't hurt. But, he died on November :(

ur camrea sucks



[Nobodyknowbutgodknow]

I dont understand but Dont Betta fish need a heater ?

[YaoiSensei]

I highly advise putting them in separate tanks. The ammonia levels in the water created by the goldfish alone will be too much for the betta to healthily tolerate.
