[bettas]

[OohFeeshy]

Yes to second option.

 

[bettas]

they will bully her

 

[WILDER]

You no very well they will, 3 females to one male.

They will hound her to death to mate...... This is not a good ratio im afraid... I keep guppies, and have a tank set up just for them You need the ratio to be at least 3 females to 1 male...

Today i have baby fry everywhere too

Good Luck

Are you asking advice about getting a female, or do you already have her?

If you already have her, you either need to get about 5-8 more females, or take this one out immediately. She WILL get totally stressed out, by having three males trying to mate with her. This will make her more prone to diseases, and it can also make her die. Also, the males will start fighting over the female, and they may kill the weakest male. At the very least, you'll have shredded fins. Seperate the males and female NOW, until you figure out what to do. Even just putting her in a breeder net will be better then the situation she is in now.

I have to agree, she will be stressed to hell..

I have a great ratio in my tank, and when a couple of my females were giving birth today, the males started harrasing them and ended up eating some of the fry I let nature take its course for a while, then i netted some babies

So as you can see, even if you have good ratio, sometimes fish can still harrass other fish, so i would say your poor female is doomed!! unless you take advice and get more females, or take her back.....

Okay. Good job on doing research first! This is how you'll make your fish the happiest and healthiest they can be.

By the way, congrats on the babies Claire!
