I love my betta! I’ve only at her for a few days now but she knows when i’m near the tank and swims to me. shes so cute 🙂
I have two female betta, in different tanks. They started out in the same tank, but the larger, older one was a big fin-nipper toward the smaller new female, so the smaller got moved into a 10 gallon community tank. I personally like the females better than males; they swim around more and are more active overall because they do not have rediculously large fins as males do. My larger female has longer fins and is a beautiful dark blue- not all female betta are small and ugly!! she is as beautiful as any male; people dont believe me when i tell them she is female.
One word of caution: they easily get fin rot, so weekly water changes and watching their fins everyday is a MUST
I have an Opaque female Bettta like the one in the lower right portion of the picture. She is in my 10 gallon community tank with my male Platy and 5 Neon Tetras. She’s so fun to watch and has a blue sheen to her.
Bennet, if you want to keep more then 1 female Betta in a tank, there has to be at least 3-4. If there are less then 3-4 female Bettas in a tank, then 1 will get picked on by the others. You might want to do a lot of research before you get something. If you kept that little female Betta in your tnak with the larger one without moving her, she would have been dead in a week.
Great fish but not as colorful as the males.
I’ve had a few female fighting fish now. The first, jumped out of the tank I had it in the first night I had her and died, so now I make sure I have a lid on the tank.
Then I got three a few years ago and they live happily together without fighting. The three of them had different personalties. One was bossy, one was sweet and the other wimpy. After a while I had Neon Tetras and Guppies in with them and had no issues.
Currently I have a crown tail female in with my baby Angel Fish, Platy and three Dwarf Gouramis and they are all getting along happily. The main thing to have with male or female Bettas is warmth. Unlike what the pet shops tell you, they do need heaters!
