Attack of the females!

[Twinbot]

So, my blue Betta was looking all frazzled. Even with a barrier between them, the large red Betta was scaring the living hell out of him. So, I figure he was timid enough to try placing him in a large tank w/ two female Bettas. Well, by this morning, he was cowering in a corner with his fins all torn. The larger of the two females was pecking at him (the rest of the population are cories and loaches, so I don't think they ran him down).

Go figure.

Now, I stuck him in the ten'r with some platies and guppies. If I'm lucky, maybe his fins will heal ... if not, it's toilet time.

Your not gonna flush him alive are you??? His fins will heal in due time...it takes a while for Betta fins to heal....Put him in his own tank and use betta remedy and aquarium salt for a minimum of a month, I just had a mishap with 2 males getting together and thats all I did and his fins are almost back to normal.....fish aren't as easy to heal as a human you have to remember that injuries don't heal as fast soaking in water so give him time

Ya...I wouldn't ever reccomend putting a male betta with another male or with the females. Good thing they're all still alive!
