Corycats as companions for your Siamese fighting fish
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
If you really want companions for your Siamese fighting fish, I think the Cory Catfish seem to be your best bet. There are numerous types of Corydoras. You can get the Peppered Corydoras which are hardy and can grow to 4 inches. The Leopard Catfish, which is also hardy, and good for beginners.
Two other Cory catfish to consider are the Pygmy Cory and the Panda Cory. Although the Panda Cory is more sensitive to water conditions, they are a peaceful schooling fish that should be kept in groups of six or more. They are small in size so can be intimidated by your Siamese fighting fish.

Companions for your Siamese fighting fish
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
One of the things I have heard from a lot of people who have Siamese fighting fish also called Bettafish, is their desire to introduce a bettafish companion for their fish. I have researched this very topic and over the next few posts I will give you some of recommended types of fish that would be compatible with your Siamese fighting fish.
As you know, it’s difficult to just place any type of fish with a Siamese fighting fish. Remember, in the wild they are loners, and only come together with a female to mate and raise babies and then are on their own again.
OK, so the first one is the Cherry barb or Puntius Titteya and they originated in Sri Lanka. They can grow to 2 ins (4-5cm) and live on average 4 years. They prefer densely planted tanks with some clear swimming space. You will need a group of 6 or more.
The other barb is the Gold barb which was originally found in S.E. Asia. All of them now come from fish farms. They are very easy to keep. You do not need a heater, but they must have clean water. Usually the number to buy is 3 or more. A beautiful gold color, it is very hardy and active. They may tend to nip at your plants, so be careful if your tank is sparsely populated with plants. They may also nip at the fins of your Siamese fighting fish!!!
