i have a siamese fighter, a red tail black shark and 2 unknown fish( forgot their name)

my fighter and shark get along fine, but the 2 of them fight with my unknowns every second of the day, my fighter just wont give them any space hes just flaring up all the time, i have tried to create enough spaces for them to share, but the fighter just wants to rule the tank. im afraid ill wake up one day and find my unknowns dead because my fighter got them during the night.

although my unknowns are very fast, i dont know how long they can keep swimming from the fighter.

my tank is around 85 litres(dont know what that is in gallons)

anyone have any ideas?
 
Well a couple solution's would be:

1. get another tank for your unknown's.
2. take back the unknown's or the other two.
3. Not the best idea, but let them be and hopefully the SF and the RTBS
wont kill the unknowns.

These would be about your only options, IMO.
 
found the unknown names, Dwarf Neon Rainbows, i dont have another tank to put them in, i was thinking of getting one of those small divider things for my fighter


ill give an update in around 2 days time.
 
i think rainbows are a type of Danio ... >.<
Get the betta his own 8 gallon or something?
 
more specifically they are Boesemani rainbows, they should be in groups of six or so, but i only have 2. ill see what i can do about the fighter, thnx for the help
 
just an update on the situation, my fighter is still currently racing around following both my rainbows, im now more afraid of my fighter dying as he doesnt eat, when the food goes in he still trys to fight the rainbows and i havent seen him eat any food in like 2 days, im hoping he will figure out that he needs food and eat instead of trying to fight. but there isnt any marks on either of the fish so thats a good sign.
