How Many Bettas Can Live Together in the Same Tank?
The number of bettas that can be kept together in the same aquarium depends on the gender of the betta. Only one male can be kept in an aquarium, as males will fight with one another (hence their common name, Siamese fighting fish). In the wild, one would retreat. But that isn't possible in an aquarium; fighting continues, to the death of one or both.

How to Take Care of Goldfish
Despite popular opinion, goldfish (Carassius auratus) are not "maintenance-free" or "trial" pets. They require and deserve just as much care as any other pet. Goldfish are hardy species and good at tolerating many beginner's mistakes, but you will need to put in some effort to ensure their health and survival. They should not be kept in a fish bowl, but require an aquarium with proper water aeration and filtration.

Determining How Much to Feed Aquarium Fish
Overfeeding is the most common mistake fish owners make, and it can lead to a multitude of serious problems in the aquarium.
