Adding Fish To Tank

[rockfordgun]

Hi there guys and ladies

Well u ppl always help cause these pet shops around here all have there own stories so heres my prob

I wanna get more fish for my tank but mister siamese wil not in his life want any fish in that huge tank with him he chases and bites any fishes he comes in contact with i have removed the female siamese and even the algea eater put two sharks with him some miniture sharks sounds almost like ganja sharks lol and this morning when i got up one was dead (STUCK ON THE FILTER SYTEM) now the other one just hides away any idea what i can put with this aggresive bugger cause i am out of suggestions filling my tank its as if he is KING OF THE CASTLE and he is as happy as can be any ideas what fishes i can add to this tank with out him biting and chomping away???

nope, some siamese fighters just won't accept any tankmates, if you have one you need to keep him alone. if you feel he's taking up too much room then get a smaller tank (around 5 gallons) just for him

i agree with miss wiggle. you have a lot you can do with a large tank and if mr. siamese is stopping you from getting other fish then you need to find a betta tank for him and fill up your larger tank with other fish you want. at work when we run out of small tanks for our males we put them in with the platys and the female guppies and they get on fine but most fish wont accept the males and vice versa

i swapped the 2 around the male in the small bowl and the female in the big tank with all the fish but she just hides away in one corner when she s in the big tank the small bowl she loves

How small is this "small bowl"? Bettas need around a 2 gallon tank/bowl with a heater if your room temp is much below 70 degrees.
