Siamese Fighter with a Goldfish

Good day

I have a goldfish alone in a tank at the moment. The current goldfish's partner sadly passed away a few months back. The current fish about 18 Months old.
I've seen at the LFS a Siamese Fighter in the gold fish tank, and kind of tickled the fancy.
Just a few question's to the experts then:
Would they survive together?
Would the old ballie get stressed with a new addition to the tank?
Any further complications that can come to mind?

thanks in advance

Cheers cheers.

 

Somehow I dont see the siamese fighter lasting long.

Not unless you heat the tank, and even then I can only imagine the drama... it's called a Siamese Fighter for a reason, especially if the proposed tank mate is a fancy goldfish with nice pretty flowing fins and a tail...

All I'm saying is, just don't do it. Not worth it at all. Different fish, different requirements.

 

I think the water would be too cold for a betta. Just my opinion, not 100% positive

What type of goldfish do you have? Do you have a heater in the tank, please take into consideration that goldfish are known to pollute the water parameters and have a way higher bio-load then SF.

 

One is a cold water fish, the other a warm water fish.
You could probably get them acclimated to a temperature where both could be almost comfortable, but with a reduced lifespan of either or both the fish.

I would rather get a goldfish similar to the one that died.

 

goldfish can live in basically any habitable water temperature if there is oxygen, but you need good aeration and flow to maintain high O2 levels. And what do bettas dislike? High flow

I wouldn't

 

Short answer is no, the long answer is also no.

 

thanx for the input.

 

I also agree... rather get your goldfish a little goldfish friend...
