Nice fish Fish Friend and tank! Your ratio is fine, as long as there are plenty of hiding spaces, as in my experiance Bettas love a place to just chill out on their own.. and seeing as you have a nice big tank, they will be very much at home. There may be the occasional chase or nip, but Bettas can be peaceful at the best of times.

thanks...i just added them now...and my lfs said something about there being bred for colour..and he said be careful..try to get female bettas with the stripes in them becase some could be males..i think thats bull but anyways...the new females are all shing off to each other..its not flaring..just asif like hello..is this normal??

 

[phOOey]

i always thought the only time you should put males in with females was for breeding, i'd be careful that the male doesn't pester them too much, otherwise they could dies from stress.

 

[Chazwick]

It depends on the temperment of that particular betta. I have an extrememly peaceful male, that - although is pestered once every fortnight or so, by one particular neon, he just ignores it and swims of gracefully. With a nice big enclosure, plenty of hidey holes it'll be fine! Fish Friends tank looks like a perfect enviroment for a male and a few females, they won't be bothered too much

i need an updateof the tank..there is LOTS more of hiding places and plants..anyways, my male is in a breeder box so the females can get along and settle down before he goes in..thanks for your help
