Question
why are my swordtails harassing their tankmates.  specifically a very large angel and a fan tailed beta....and are they gonna eat him if he keeps it up?

Answer
Hello Kristine,
Bettas and Swordtails often dont get along at all, they can fight an harass each other often. I would recomend getting another angel, so it will have a partner, and i would recomend getting a seperate tank for your bettas. Bettas fins are so long that many fish love to pick on them, this is why they dont make very good tankmates. Also, im just a fish breeding expert, if you read my description you would have known, so for future reference, i would like only questions on breeding fish :) thanks and happy fish keeping!
