whtbox Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 HI Guys, i'm not sure if this has been discussed or not. But here it is. Can we put 2 female betta's into the same tank? I mean will they fight or having a cat fight? I'm thinking to put them into my 21L tank. Cheers Yun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Depends on the individual fish in my experience... have a tank with a heap of girls and boys that were raised together and no fighting or trouble at all... have had unrelated females in a tank and had to separate them within a minute as they were attacking each other pretty viciously. Size of the tank, number of fish and number of hiding places can help keep down the aggression too. Just try them and watch them fairly closely for the first few hours and you'll soon know if they're going to get along or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi Its best if you have three or more so a pecking order can be established, also lots of plants and places to hide. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyarlla Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 LOTS of places to hide! They will beat each other up (often to death) if you have less than 4. I have a sorority tank myself. The red females are particularly aggressive. Most of my ladies are siblings or sibling pairs. I've currently got 5 in a 70L tank. There is still much flaring!

Marianne Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I find that females that have grown up together usually get along really well with very little aggression. If they have been living alone they are usually not suitable for group tanks. I curently have two females together and they are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
