Rebecca asked:


I know that Beta fish can be in a tank with other fish. What are the other fish that can eb in the tank? Can they be in a tank with Goldfish?
I have seen them in tanks at the pet store with other fish. I know they can’t be with eachother.

Hey fish experts, can you help me before I make a trip to the pet store? Okay, I want to get a beta fish, but I wanted to know if they have to live in a bowl/jar with a live plant in it, or if they can live in a regular fish bowl. I always see betas in the jar with some sort of plant like this http://www.gardengate.org/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/MediumBetaFish.jpg
so I just wanted to know before I went and bought one so I could know if I needed to get the plant also. If so, what is the purpose of the plant? And what type should I get? Thanks I don’t insist on the bowl, I just thought that is what they had to be kept in since that’s the only want I have ever seen them. That is why I am asking a question, to LEARN about it. That way I can have some information in mind beofre I go get one. Thanks to everyone so far.
