    The Bettas ~ Betta #15 - post 60

    Yep... another Betta. I've got quite the hobby now. I found this girl at Petsmart today. She was too cool to pass up. She is a double ray crowntail.


    Her name is Mrs. Potts. I had hoped to house her with Belle but they're both a bit too aggressive for me to feel safe doing that. Oh well, there goes my hopes for having a sorority tank!

    Mrs. Potts is very pretty. Sorry you can't put her and Belle together. I've had some females together and some that would try to kill each other.

    She is pretty. The ONLY way to house female bettas together is if you have at least 4-6 of them in a 10 gallon tank.

    congratulations! she is gorgeous.

    they only sell veiltails at my local petshop, and the girls have dull colours, unlike Belle and Mrs Potts.

    thanks k9krazee for the signature!

    I kept two females in a two gallon tank for a few years until one of them died. I never saw them fight.

    Not necessarily true. It depends on the specific Bettas. Several of people I know have been able to house 2-3 Bettas happily.

    Yes sometimes it works out with 2 but usually 2 will rip each other apart. The best way is to have at least four to spread out the aggression. Also the tank needs to have lots and lots of hiding places for them to get away from each other if needed.

    Just making sure. I haven't tried a sorority myself yet but i'm going to try one soon. I have 2 females now and I'm getting 2 more in the mail next week so I think I will try it out with them.

    I would never attempt less then four females together. I had 8 girls together very well in a well planted 20 gallon. Only two are left now but I am getting guppies soon =)

    Your girlie is pretty!

    I thought instead of making a thread each time I add a new fish, I'd just update this thread.

    Okay, I started with two Bettas about 2 months ago. Now, some how, I am up to eleven fish all together.

    6 male Bettas, 3 female Bettas, and two Danios who live with Belle, one of my females. She is a submissive girl and is doing just fine with them. Just don't like other female Bettas. Their names will be Lefou & Lumiere, although I can't really tell them apart!

    I picked the two Danios up today along with a new female who will be named Babette (following the theme.)

    Here's Babette; She is living in a tank with Mrs. Potts with a seperator.





    Belle's Lefou and Lumiere;







    Mufasa is VERY interested in this tank since there's more activity from the Danios. He's always checked Belle out, but he's even more interested now.
