They are known as Siamese fighting fish because male betta's have a tendency to fight one another over territory, usually to the death of one. So it is safer to keep Betta males seperately.

Female Betta

Female Bettas are just like the Siamese fish and can be kept together in the same tank provided there is enough cover for them to hide in. Females can be as colorful as the males, although, they rarely have the long finnage that is seen with the males.

Ans:	Dear Rohit, ur choice of keeping these type of fishes in one tank is wrong I.e. goldfish and tinofoil togather, goldfishes are to be kept separate. Rainbow and redtail have tendencies to play and they will not harm each other.
