I just bought these fish today. I got two gold fish large than the betta fish.... but he's picking on the gold fish and running them around the tank. Do you think I should give them a little while or go ahead and remove the betta to a fish bowl? I'm clueless......
Bettas and goldfish require different water temperatures. Goldfish like cold water and bettas are tropical fish and need warm water. I would put him in his own bowl.
bettas can not be with fish that have flashy fins, such as goldfish and guppies. and yes goldfish are coldwater fish and betta are tropical fish... 2 gallons is too small for all 3 of them.
Goldfish are waste factories and grow to be over a foot in length. There's no way you can keep them in a 2 gallon bowl. I'd return to two goldfish and keep just the betta in that space...and look into getting a filter and heater.
Bettas and goldies are a nono
Goldfish are cold water fish, while bettas require a temp of 75-82 degrees
Not to mention that goldfish poop a lot and create lots of waste, and they need heavy duty filtration. Also common goldfish get quite large- they need at least a 20 gal when they're bigger
