    You shouldn’t put them together. Goldfish are cold water fish and Bettas are tropical. In other words, bettas need a heater, goldfish need cold water.

    I thought they did this because the slime contains a bit of algae, but not much so they have to be starving to even want to do it. Are you saying they actually enjoy the slime?
