Really?! I usually see them in with other fish in pet stores how weird! Unless there are two in that cas they pop them in seperation nets inside the tank.

Two fighter fish will fight to the death, hence why they are usually single.

They normally keep them away from other fish too because many fish like barbs will nip the fighters' long and tempting fins.

You have to be careful when buying one to make sure the fish you have won't bite him.

I guess maybe that's the way my local pet store displays their fighting fishes. I really like them because they are very brightly colored and beautiful to look at

Yer, they are really gorgeous, id love some but i just worry my other fish will attack it. Im suprised your lobster(?) doesnt go for it

are thy gouramis on the 2nd piccy??? i think its the 2nd lol
just wondering coz they look like mine :P

haha yes thankyou im well aware of this, hence why i only have one fighter. As for the barbs they are less aggressive in groups they spend most of their time arguing amounst themselves! Fighters are very good at standing up for themselves, however my fighter when i got him was in a tank with sharks and oscars not sure how he survived for so long!!! He's much happier now and his fins have grown back beautifully.

The lobster only has respect for my fighter, the other fish stay out of his way but i often find the fighter in his cave and have never seen him go for him. As long as they have their own space and are fed the appropriate food there shouldnt be a problem. Any sick fish however he would get, ive only had a couple fish become poorly which was after i got them from the petshop, i have a seperation net for them so they arent attacked.
