    Pretty fish, look like females too me as I used to have many of them in a tank together with at least 2 large plants, with these plants in there the fish had cover just incase another fish would chase them.

    Sometimes females will get a bit agressive towards each other but thats usualy if the tanks too small, if the tank is large enough and there are many planted hiding spots all your females should be fine...I never had my female betta's fight actualy this post is making me want some female bettas lol I forgot how pretty they where in my tank....*saves money for some*.

    Beautiful fish..cheers!

    Good news is that I've found my divider and my big tank is divided up now, some may think its cruel but Im not going to be that petty and get into that.

    Ive divided my 4 gallon tank so they both got half each.

    I'll post photos very soon

    2 gallons of water per betta is perfectly fine.

    Keep up with water changes so the ammonia doesn't build up. Also, I use fresh water aquarium salt in ALL my tanks (not just in my betta tank) every time I do water changes. I know some people only use the salt when their fish get sick, but I swear by the stuff. My fish have NEVER gotten sick from anything other than old age things since I started using the salt. Since your tanks are small a small carton will last you a long time. If you do get the salt make sure it's FRESH water aquarium salt and for the first few water changes add it slowly until your bettas get used to the amount. My betta, Typhoon, is used to it so I add the whole amount at the beginning. My 5 gallon tank only needs 1 tablespoon. It's GREAT stuff!

    Congrats on the girls~
