A few questions?

[BETTA GOD GRANT ME SERENITY]

I have 2 new Plakats one kept by him self in a 2 gal tank and the other kept in the coumunity tank Platys and corrys,the one in the Platys/Corry tank has split his tail in the middle and has small splits in the middle of it as well ,
:How does he split it?
I have a very agressive vail tail who i keep in a 1.5 gal tank with Indian Almond leaves so the waters nice and brown this is the only way i can keep him from going in to Charles Manson mode ,it seems to calm him down .
hould i take him out and exchange him with Jack the Plakat in the Platy/corry tank?As the Almond leave water would be good for him. But last time Frank the Vail tail was put in the Platy/Corry tank he killed 3 Platys by the time i got back from work.
What do you all think.
Ps I dont really want to disturb Plakat number one.

OK, first off, its not the best idea keeping bettas with platys. The shop I bought my last betta at did this, and all the bettas were nipped and lethergic from over-flaring. Whats the filter like? Fin injuries can be sustained from a strong filter. I'd move the one in the community to his own tank, and leave the others where they are.

Iv already packed the fillter holes abit to reduce the pull.I always throught Platys were fine just produce a lot of waste.

No, they are bright colours and can be a bit nippy as well.

id take him out as OohFeeshy said!i had a betta with platys and they nipped him until his tail was almst gone overnight i took him out and i fond he had attacked 2 platys and he was so stressed i got hhim his own tank andhe is fine now.get him a 1gal of his own to make him happy

the split in his tail could be from over-flaring at his tankmates. i wouln't chage your VT, though, sounds like he is happy.

i'd find another bowl/tank for the guy in with the platys

I'v decided to get rid of the Platys.And just leave him in there with the corrys.
