i have a male betta and a new, kinda small, female can they tank together
if not can i put the female in with other fish
 
No the male and female cannot be kept together. What other types of fish do you have?
 
Guppies and black moores aren't compatible. Guppies are tropical fish that require heated tanks. Goldfish are coldwater fish that do not do well in heated tanks. The female might go with the guppies but definatly not with goldfish.

ive had them at a constant 75 - 80 degrees
the do realy good
 
those temperatures will increase your moor's metabolism, making the fish produce more waste. Goldfish are already very messy fish requiring strong filtreation (much stronger than tropicals) so increasing their waste is a bad idea.

added to this, when goldfish are kept at high temperatures long-term it can reduce their lifespan. What size tank do you have? what filtration, how long has been set up?

Yeah the female and male cannot be together and anyone who says otherwise is lying.

The female can go with the guppies but not the goldfish because goldfish are what's considered Coldwater fish. Plus goldfish need 10-15 gallons of water PERgoldfish to grow properly. While they are doing fine right now as babies, they will soon be stunted (which means their outside body stops growing but their insides keep growing) and it will lead to a slow and painful death.

So to summarize, the female betta can go with the guppies since they are both Warm Water fish but not the goldfish because they are Coldwater fish and really big waste (poop) producers. I'd suggest giving the goldfish to someone with a pond or bigger tank and then putting the female betta with the guppies.

I'm sorry if it seems we're being picky but your goldfish aren't going to live long in a 10 gallon tank and its our duty as fellow fishkeepers to tell you.
