25 Gallons For Girlies?

[demonmagus]

Hi, how many female bettas do you think I could have in a 36 by 12 by 25 tank which currently holds a pair of kribs?

are they compatible?

will the females occupy just the bottom of the tank?


thanks

Im not an expert and this is what ive read from other forums and such but, without a pair of kribs; 15 (estimate, not sure)
With the kribs; 12ish

But, im not sure if theyll get along with kribs
ask jaded12 or cracker or someone

how big is this tank again?? you can most definetly put at least 15 girls in there with room for several more. as for the other fish i do not know for sure bu i would say no.

I'm not too sure they would get along with the Kribs, but its a 25 gallon you said? about 15-20 girls, more toward the 15 side, well planted, with maybe a nice school of cory cats. What a nice tank that would be!

My females get along fine with my krib, but it may be different with a pair. If your kribs seem to be aggresive then dont risk it, but if they're tame then it should be okay.

my kribs are placid, they haven't bothered with a territory either lol - also they don't breed (thank god)
