 | Killifish with betta? |
foj1428 Fingerling Posts: 43 Kudos: 28 Votes: 44 Registered: 06-Apr-2005   | I have a male betta splendens in an 8 gal and am looking into tankmates. My LFS has some Gardneri killies which i'm quite interested in. Would a pair be suitable tankmates for my betta? Would they try to nip? Would they be able to swim away fast enough if he decided to get aggressive? The tank is well planted and has floating plants too. Any advice would be great!  |

Mine sulks if the temp goes below 25degC, Killies are best kept down around 20degC, their already short lifespan will be reduced at the higher temps. I would think the killies would nip the betta as well. Dean |
