Female betta question.

[Kalei]

Hi everyone! I know there is a lot of female betta experts on this forum and I wanted to ask a question about them. With all the talk of them and pictures you've all made me want some lol. Anyways my question is, I am going to university in the fall and can have only a 10 gallon tank at most, so I was wondering, how many female bettas can you have in a 10 gallon tank?

5 is good. Maybe a few ottos to go with them. Make sure you've got plenty of decor or plants (plastic or real) for them to hide around.

awesome, Thank you very much! I was wondering what are 'ottos' are they little fish like zebra fish that scoot around everywhere?

ooooh ok. Thanks so much for the help! I had one of them before, they stay very small. Are they better to have with female bettas than a regular algae eater like Bob here?:

i would Imagine it is because they are much smaller, your boy Bob there can get very big, i have one, and he is 6+ inches long, not very good for a 10 gallon tank.
