Females Bettas Fighting

[bUcky]

well i got 1 female and put her with my male guppys, she was fine. a week later i got another one and put her in the same tank. seemed ok, then i had to leave. when i came back 3 hours later i checked the tank to find the newest female, that is 2 times the size of the smaller one, getting beat up on. i dont know if fish bleed, but i think she is bleeding on the top of her head. what can i do. there are no pet stores open until tomorow or i would go ask them. i feel guilty and want to help her. i have already separated her into a breeding net in my other 10 gallon. that has more stable levels.

well, if you want to keep females together, you need at least 3 so the aggression can be spread out. there not much you can do if its in the breeding net, do you have something like a goldfish bowl or a big container? if you do, transfer the betta into there and add a little aquarium salt in the water. this is probably the only thing you can do until tomorrow

done, shes in 2.5 gallon with aqua salt. what do i need to get to help her recover. ive been watching her and shes really bad lots of open wounds. i dont want to keep them together, i just didnt think it would be a problem since they were females. i thought it was the males that faught. thanks for your help
