Default Betta with Angels?

Would a male betta feel threatened, or whatever, by young angelfish in the same tank as it?

I'd be cautious with a male, but I wouldn't think there would be any issues with a female Betta

Actually the female bettas I kept used to terrorize everything in the tank, I really had better behavior with all the males Ive owned over the past 20 some odd years. The white bodied with red fin female bettas are the worst, nasty little girls, violent and always greedy/angry eaters.

Yes females can be meaner than males.I have a royal blue DT,perfect finnage.She has killed every male she has been in with,and they were not shy.Crowntails and plakat girlies are the worst.Veils are the sweetest.I have found cambodians are especially feisty(thats the flesh colored bodies with red fins.)Whites are usually gentle.

That being said,i think if anything you will have issues with the angels.If you want to be sure,look for a short finned male so he can swim away from the angels.Of course they will have their own personality.

I just put a female Veil in my 30 gallon planted community tank, so we'll see how that goes, lol

Bettas and Angels usually don't interact much in the same tank. Bettas stay near the top while Angels stay more to the middle and bottom. Bettas like to hang around floating plant on the surface. Angels feel safe swimimng through and in tall plants like Vallsanaria. Temperature for both should be 76-86.
