Best Tank Mates for Candy Koi Betta Fish

Candy koi betta fish are known to be aggressive towards other fish. This should be an issue if you want to keep them with other fish or plan on putting them in the same aquarium as your betta.

It is best only to keep one of these koi in an aquarium at a time, but they can be held together with other small (less than 1 inch) or medium-sized (1-2 inches) fish that do not mind living next door neighborly with each other.

If you choose this option, make sure that your candy koi is manageable so that it only eats up some of its brothers' food before they eat theirs.

Conclusion

Candy koi betta fish are beautiful, aggressive, and docile creatures that can be kept in large aquariums. They can be trained to follow you around the house or enjoy being alone in their tank. The best tank mates for the Candy Koi Betta are other small fish like guppies, neons, and swords. A single candy koi betta will ultimately turn your aquarium appearance so consider them while being in the market next.
