Take a look at this pinned thread from the "compatible fish" sub-forum. Some for and against points are made in it

Personally, I think they should be kept well and truely seperate - they have very different needs

I wouldn't put the two together. It would be too risky!

Mmmm, it all depends on the individual betta. Through experiende, I blelieve that crowntails are less agressive than the regulars.....also, a good way to find out before you buy the fish is to look through the jars and find one that is flaring at everybody around him. Then set the one you are considering next to the aggressive one (there is always one) and see what yours does. This will tell you if he is a good pick or not. Good luck.

When I was little my mom had a tank for me with a betta and a couple "feeder" goldfish. The betta chased the goldies around to the point where they literally jumped out of the tank to get away from him. He eventually caused their deaths doing this. So yeah, based on my experience I'd say keep them seperate...besides, they have different needs. Bettas like warmer water, goldies like colder...and their nutritional needs are different as well.

not a good idea. Bettas need temps 72-80 degrees and goldies are cold water fish needing 58-68 degree water. The betta will get sluggish at goldie temps. The betta also has different nutritional needs as mentioned aboved. The betta is a meat eater only and the golide is a n omnivor ( plants mainly). At the colder temps you are subjecting the betta to disease such as fungus etc
