Betta fish in a 30+ gallon tank

Question
Is it ok to keep my Betta fish in with my other fish, 5 gold fish and 1 angel fish? My other fish are ok with the Betta but i became concern when i found him inside the castle at the bottom of the tank, so when i took him out he looked really week. I'm thinking maybe its to much pressure, Is that right?

Answer
Alba, your beta can live in any kind of tank big or small. As far as keeping them with other fish, that's a tricky and daring attempt. I personally wouldn't keep the beta with an angelfish as they are both known to be aggressive. Its really a hit and miss though with betas. I've had betas in with fish before many different times. However, a different beta was later introduced to those same tank buddies, and the beta tried to tear em up. Its really hard to say honestly. I do know that the goldfish will not bother the beta, they aren't aggressive at all. I hope this helps a little. If you have any further questions, I'm always here.
