Question
Male Beta & Telescope Goldfish - can they live together in a 10 gal, non-heated aquarium?

Answer
Hello Scott-

It would be hard to pull off, as bettas need water at least 70 F, whereas goldfish prefer cool water (mid to low 60's.) You can try it, but I would recommend keeping a betta with other warm-water fish.

Hope this is helpful,
