Can you put a betta fish in the same bowl or tank as goldfish?

No, betta fish should not be kept in the same bowl or tank as goldfish. While both fish are popular aquarium species, they have very different care requirements.

Betta fish are tropical fish that require warm water (75-82°F), a pH of 6.5-7.5, and a soft water hardness. They are also territorial and should be kept alone or with other peaceful fish.

Goldfish are coldwater fish that require cool water (65-72°F), a pH of 7.0-8.4, and a hard water hardness. They are also social fish and should be kept in groups of at least three.

If a betta fish and a goldfish are kept together, the betta fish may become stressed and aggressive due to the different water conditions and the goldfish may nip at the betta fish's fins. In addition, the betta fish may not be able to compete with the goldfish for food.

Therefore, it is best to keep betta fish and goldfish in separate aquariums.
