Hello everyone, today we are going to study the differences between goldfish and bettas, and compare these two magnificent species of fish.
The fighter
The fighter is a small tropical fish from Asia. It is known for not being able to cohabit with other males because they engage in fights sometimes to the death. This small fish with bright colors has a lifespan of 2 to 5 years. It can cohabit with other species of fish, but only with fish larger than it, because it hunts small fish as well as fish with long tails. The fighter needs a cubic aquarium of at least 20 liters equipped with plants, preferably real, as well as an aquarium heater, because it requires a temperature between 24 and 26 degrees.
And what about females?
Females are more peaceful and can coexist with each other; however, it is recommended to have several of them so that they form a hierarchy among themselves.
We have looked at the fighter, now let's turn to the goldfish.
Goldfish
Goldfish come in many varieties, including the Oranda and the Telescope, which we offer in a soft and cuddly version with our Oranda plush and our Telescope plush . Unlike the fighter, goldfish have no problem with cohabitation between males; however, slow species such as the Ranchu and the Oranda cannot coexist with more lively species such as the common goldfish. These fish need cold water and real plants, but must live in an aquarium of at least 100 liters per fish. The goldfish is fragile in an aquarium and therefore requires very special attention. It can live up to 10 years with proper care.
Now that we have looked at each species, let's compare these two species of fish:
- Goldfish need a large aquarium, unlike bettas.
- Goldfish come in many varieties.
- With the fighter you can't put multiple males, whereas with the goldfish you can.
- The fighter requires an aquarium heater, unlike the goldfish.
- The fighter is small, which may displease lovers of large fish, while goldfish can reach a fairly substantial size.
Now that we have some comparisons, let's conclude.
Conclusion
Both species of fish are equally interesting, and there is not really one that is better than the other; the choice of fish depends on individual tastes.
