![]() ![]() Like angelfish they are predators, who like to eat bugs and smaller fish in the wild (bettas tend more towards insects, angelfish to fish but they're both fine with fish meal based food).įrogs are fed seperately, they have to be fed shrimp pellets, I believe, with a tong.Īlso, angelfish and goldfish don't look good together (their coloration and movement don't go well together) and angelfish can be aggressive. Occasionally, putting warm water into the tank can help you maintain the temperature without using a heater. Keep the aquarium in a warmer area of your home or closer to a heater. Don't let the specially marked food fool you, its exactly the same food, just in different sizes. One way you can make your fish tank warmer is to increase the temperature in the room where the aquarium is located by setting it to 78☏ (25.5☌). Bettas don't have different dietary needs. People keep bettas with other fish, because bettas are tropical fish. Some keep Bettas together with other tropical fish and Bettas also require a different diet, and that goes for other critters you put into the tank, like frogs, etc. Bettas will survive into the low 60s, but it serioiusly impugns their health. Newer books advocate higher temps than older ones (I think the Skeptical Aquarist mentions that generally, recommended temps have gone up over the years).Īnd there's a difference between "ideal" temperatures and temps fish will survive at. Then why can't goldfish mix with, say, Angelfish which can (my encyclopedia says) thrive in temperatures between 72 and 83 F.?īecause the Angels do better at higher temps. Goldfish prefer cooler temps, low 70s for fancy ones, at most. That would mean that technically both goldfish and tropical fish could be fine in a tank with 76-78 degrees. Windows, sunlight, fans - there are a lot of variables in the average human house. ![]() It won't go any lower than that unless we set the air conditioner unsuitable for humans. It doesn't stay steady and water is a few degrees cooler than ambient temp. ![]() If our room temperature always stays between 76 and 78, which most home have anyway, this is also the temperature suited for tropical fish. ![]()
