   I wouldn’t risk adding males. They’re stunningly beautiful fish with brightly coloured, long fins. There is a chance of your Siamese fighting fish mistaking it for another male.

   Also they like the temp. to be quite a bit cooler than most fish. More of a sub-tropical fish really.

   Oh, you are so lucky to find those in a pet store! They are considered to be the most beautiful fish in the world! Here’s a good link for basic care from the American Killifish Association:

   I don’t think that your betta will bother them if he is fine with the gourami. Most killi people keep species-specific tanks. The killi will prefer 1/2 to 1 tsp salt/gallon, and the cory cats prefer no salt. Killies prefer water temps of 72-75 degrees, which is cooler than some of your tropicals like. Nothos are pretty tolerant and should be okay. All killies are great jumpers, so be sure that your tank is completely covered!

   Happy fish keeping!

   Enjoy!
