Fin-Nipper FAQ's

Are these fish 100% guaranteed not to nip fins?

No fish can be guaranteed to behave a certain way, as each has its own personality. However, the species in this collection are generally considered much safer choices for long-finned fish than known fin nippers.

Can I keep these fish with my Betta?

Many of these species are commonly kept with Bettas, but compatibility depends on your tank size, aquascape and the temperament of the individual fish. If you're unsure, feel free to contact us for advice.

What fish should I avoid with long-finned fish?

Species such as Tiger Barbs, Serpae Tetras and some larger aggressive fish are well known for fin nipping and are generally not recommended with long-finned species.

Do I need a planted aquarium?
