Beta With An Algae Eater?

[Rayq]

Hi I have a beta and a algae eater, I put them together and the beta actualy fight it. I search many forum and they say it's ok. I have a Chinese algae eater and a beta. Can anyone tell me how can I make them not fight?

chinese aglae eaters are not the most placid of fish, they are quite territorial, how big is your tank, is your betta male or female,

Both fish can be quite aggressive and CAE's need large tanks, what size is the setup?

Chinese algae eater tend to have a taste for fish flesh sooner or later. Learned it the hard way.

Mine isn't really big because I only have a beta. It's bout 1 gallon. And its a male

Hopefully I've misunderstood, but you have a betta and a chinese algae eater in a 1 gallon? If so, you really need to upgrade them to a much larger tank! 1 gallon isn't suitable for anything to live in.

if that picture doesn't scare you and you're still willing to go through with it then no offense my friend but you aren't really qualify to keep fish yet.

A betta fish will attack anything in a 1 gallon tank in a bid to protect its territory. Keeping these fish together will result in one or both of them dying in short order.
