Can Chinese betta be kept with other ornamental fish, such as carp carp, or small tropical fish?

Hello all aquarists, I am an experienced fish farmer, and I will raise water easily and happily with everyone. Please pay attention to your aquarists!

Regarding the introduction of Chinese betta, in my other articles, the most common ones are common fork, round-tailed betta, as well as black fork, albino variety Yutu, etc. Now there are more new varieties, which I also call Can't come up with the name.

So, as long as the betta is mentioned, some aquarists always think that this thing has a very cheap mouth, and may take the initiative to attack other ornamental fish. Recently, many novice friends have come to ask about the betta, especially the polyculture of Guodou. question.

It is said that the small betta that I raised will often bully other ornamental fish and directly bite them to death.

I'm also wondering, it's all in my video, isn't that small native fish in that tank also well mixed? But are they fighting or not? Impossible not to fight.

In my small native fish tank, there are common forks, squid, striped squid, wheat ears and gobies.

If you have to separate out who wins and who loses? I'm really sorry, I've been raising it for more than half a year now, and I haven't seen who is the king of this fish tank. All in all, it's just a mess.

The first is that gobies occupy the base at the bottom, and whoever catches and bites, they are also fighting each other. Whether it is fighting fish, squid, wheat ears, etc., gobies are not too big at all. All fish, When you see a shrimp tiger, you can only take a detour.

When it comes to vulnerable groups, the wheat earfish may be the worst. They are often bullied, they don't dare to talk back, and sometimes they will attack other small fish, but they are the smallest individuals, and they are a bit disadvantaged.

The squid in the middle of the water also belongs to the role of catching whoever bites whoever, and they fight each other more seriously, occasionally bullying the little fighting fish.

The striped barb and the squid are almost evenly matched, and the two are on a par.

In fact, among them, the least combative ones are these little fighting fish. The fight between them is very light, and the swimming speed is relatively slow. If no ornamental fish reaches them, they will hardly attack.

The fights between the little bettas are also very euphemistic. Basically, they fight and run away. They are not like the grudges like the squid and gobies. If two fish get red eyes, they can continue to fight for a long time.

There are several factors related to the fighting of these small ornamental fish.

One is due to temper, turf disputes, and the other is to look at the overall strength, as well as the landscaping, the number of shelters, and the size of the water body.

For example, species like guppies with weak tails and not very fast swimming are definitely not suitable for mixed breeding with strong species such as betta and carp.

Another problem, of course, depends on the strength of the population, the size of the tank, and the number of objects to avoid.

If a group of guppies are raised in a one-meter fish tank, a large number of aquatic plants are planted or there are certain obstacles for landscaping, even if a few bettas are raised, there is no big problem.

What if the tank is small and there are many bettas? That's hard to say, the key question is here.

In contrast, assuming that a group of squid or gobies is raised in a guppy tank, then the tails of these guppy fish may not be able to be kept.

Therefore, these questions, in the final analysis, stem from our own personal analysis, judgment and observation.

If the population is properly controlled, and the tank and landscaping are properly controlled, the betta can be mixed with many small native ornamental fish, or small tropical fish, such as many lampfish, zebrafish, Mary fish, moonlight, Wait, no big deal.

Furthermore, this native betta has a strong adaptability and is not picky about water quality and water temperature, making it easier to raise.
