I've got a few dumb questions about my fish Betta. I've never had a fish before I got him & I have had him for about 3 or 4 months now. He's quite entertaining...much more than what I thought a fish could be. Since he's a male Betta, I've read that I can not put another male Betta in the tank with him because they will try to kill each other. I'd love to get more fish, but I don't know what kind I should get. I really don't want to go all out & get a huge tank or anything. Just a standard sized tank & get a few more fishies. Since Betta's don't need a heater in their tanks, does that limit me to fish that do not need heaters? I've found some really neat fish (I have no idea what they're called though...maybe Upside down Cats???) but they need a heater. Plus, will he try to kill them? He's a pretty fisty little bugger so I don't know how well other fish will go over with him.
Any ideas or suggestions? Also, does anyone know how long they usually live? I've tried searching the internet, but haven't come up with much info. Thanks in advance for everything!
