Is this your 4th female, Kay?

hopefully you can put them together in the sorority tank now.

There once was a girl in Florida,who decided she wanted a fish,
She went out to her petstore to fullfill her wish.
She fell so in love with the first few, she had to have some more,
Now she has so many fish tanks, she can't even open her door.

*cough*

Ok, I've lost track! They are all gorgeous!

[Kfamr]

I've got 4/5 gals in a 20 gallon tank at the moment. Mrs. Potts had to be removed for being a b*tch. I've also go two danios in there, I may a couple more.


So far... so good. I really hope this works out. They've been together for over a hour now and seem to be doing really well.

Ok, now I'm jealous. I'll be going to Petsmart anyways today, might look at some more tanks and fish.

Oh congrats on the many more! You have some hawt bettas where you are!!

Love the sorority so far! Are you going to add any more (I mean I know you will get more but will you add more?) :P If so you will need to becareful as the current ones will claim territories and it may make it hard for any new girls. Re-arranging works best to solve it. But i love your tank!

I love your signiture to!! =)

[Kfamr]

Yep, I've been reading about sororities for a while now. When I add more, I plan to add taller plants as well and a few more dithering fish.


My four girls have been so good so far - I woke them up this morning and each one swam to the front from their own little corners of the tank. Such good girls.

Congrats!! I miss my big sorority. Now I have two females, 5 guppies and 4 otos. Luckily the two girls still get along. <3

[Kfamr]

Okay, I'm going to drive you guys nutso with photos as I'm just SO excited about them getting along so well.

Here's some photos I took this morning.

Belle and Babette swimming away from me. Babette is my most passive female. She allows the others to chase her and hasn't chased anyone else back yet.


OH HAI


DOES YOU HAVE TASTE?


NO TASTE


Feather and Wardrobe - Feather is my second most passive. She usually minds her own.


Babette and Belle with Wardrobe in the background


Feather, she is SO pretty.


Wardrobe going up for some air..


OH HAI MOM, DINT SEE U

They are all beautiful. I'm glad the sorority is working out for you! For the other girl you could get one of these. http://www.aquariumguys.com/breedingtrap1.html
You could put her inside it inside the tank so everyone can see her and get used to her and then release her after a couple of days.

[Christmas_Hamster]

I have the same breeder I used it for my platy fry way back when but it doesn't let in any air for them to breath from and if you leave the lid off it sinks easily. :/ but there are other breeder traps that have an open surface that would work.

And I just love your girls! So precious!!

AAAAANNNDDD now I want to redecorate my tank...I shall has to make plans.

[Kfamr]

I added two new girls to the sorority! I also got 4 more danios.


She is tiny. I think she is VERY young.


She and the other blue girl seem to be going for alpha. I'll have to keep my eye on those two.


I added a couple more plants and a floating log:







And just one of the white girl because she is just too freaking pretty.

[3muttsandaboston]

Those traps when I used them had air at the top it all depends on how you place them. The open topped ones allow the fish to jump out. Your white girl looks suspiciously like a plakat male. Does she have an oviposter?

[chocolatepuppy]

I'm not tired of the pics yet.
