hi everyone, im new here.. and i wanted to know what kind of fish i have. i'll take a picture of him/her (?) later and post it in here... when i bought it i forgot to ask the store.. .. but i do know it's a "exotic tropical/marine fish" i dont know which one, but that's all it said on the food jar. .. okay i'll go take a picture of him/her now :P

oh yeah, and how do you recognize a male from a female any signs???

oh yea it lives in a bowl

ok here are my pictures..









ok now can any of you guys tell me what kinda fish and gender i have thank you so much!

and one more question, :P can i mix any other fishes in the same bowl with this one? if so, then which kinds of other fishes?? goldfishes for example?

It looks like a betta to me or a fighting fish...and it's a male. The colour looks a bit run down though.....

Erm, you definitely wouldn't want to keep any other fishes with this one, as the name suggest...it's a fighting fish......

Anyway, the bowl is way to small to support so many fish what more to say goldfish (waste factory)

WoW thanks for replying :P heheh anyway, so i have one FINAL question-- if i bought a goldfish can i give it the same food? ..and what about other fishes..

well im new about this fish thing so heheh

hello there..
freakmaster is right...it's a betta/fighting fish!!a male fighting fish...you can't keep other fishes with the one you have right now but if you insist,get few female bettas but in a larger bowl/jar/tank...

well,to enchance the coloration of the fish you have,i suggest you feed it with bloodworms(live or frozen)...don't think you can feed goldfishes with blood worm because of they are prone to bladder diseases and so...
well forum-ers,please correct me if i'm wrong!!cheers

if i put some females ones with him will he bite them off??

well im gonna go to petssmart and buy some betta food

In a bowl like that, it is too small to add any other fish, including a female betta as she will be killed.

Bettas are a tropical fish so they will need to be kept warm. They may be fine living like that in summer, but come winter they will find it very uncomfortable living in an unheated bowl.

A better fish to keep in an unheated bowl would be the Paradise fish, but then, the choice is really up to you.

U have a yellow veiltail betta. (he's not pale in coloure... that is his colour). They will benefit from some frozen bloodworms or even freeze dried worms.

is it ok to put 2 goldfishes in a bowl? (bigggg one)
