Question
I just got a ten gal tank. Can a male betta and a angel fish be in the same tank? And what type of fish would be ok to live with the betta fish? Thank you for your help

Answer
Hi Tony,

The fish can be in the same tank together, however, as the angelfish grows, you may notice her chewing on his delicious fins.  Chances of this occurring could go either way.  Mine were raised together from a small age, and don't chew.  Some do, if introduced as adults.

Good luck and happy holidays.
