My male Betta is very sick with fin rot (very destructive) due to a huge amount of stress given by the presence of the following fish in his six gallon tank (I can’t get a tank bigger than that):
- I have two Angelfish (don’t know wether they’re male or female)
- Three Guppies (one female and two male)
- And a female Betta (who also has fin rot and recently horizontal stripes)
Obviously the only thing I can do to save my male Betta is to give some of those other fish back to the pet shop. I HAVE to give the female Betta back because the tank is small enough to put a divider in it, and having a second tank is out of the question unfortunately. Yesterday I was told that a couple of Angelfish would need at least a thirty gallon tank to live happily and stress-free. And I don’t really know wether I should give back the guppies or not.
My question is: besides giving back the female Betta and AT LEAST one of the Angelfish (unless you say both) and eventually the guppies, which fish could get along just fine with my male Betta in my six gallon aquarium so that he lives happily, stress-free and is able to grow his fins back (he even has some red parts on his fins now… he is blue … )???
Thanks in advance… and yeah I know I did wrong, but I wasn’t told anything at the petshop and my research before buying the fish may have not been that intense.
