New 30 Gallon Sorority

[BWBettas]

Hi All

New sorority tank was setup yesterday, ready for new fish soon. My question is. I have 2 female bettas in seperate containers at the moment as i was going to use them for breeding but now there going in sorority tank. I only have 2 at the moment would this be ok for those two to go in there on their own until i buy more at the weekend?

I have two females in a 9 gallon... I just couldn't resist their cute little faces at walmart. It took them about 2 hours to establish dominance, and now they're swimming around together and being the best of chums. When my male who's in the 30 gallon departs, I'm going to make that the female tank and porbably add four more females, and Divide the 9 gallon into a two or three sectioned tank for males.

so, back to your question: If you wanted to put them in now watch them close and make sure they adjust to each other... then, when you buy more on the weekend you'll have to take the two out and re-arange the tank then put them in 'new' tank all at the same time, and wait for dominance to be established again,

or,

if you don't want to have to worry about taking them back out and re-aranging, it would be best to leave them seperate. Its up to you on which way you do it.

My best advice is wait. . .

The only reason why I say that is because - once you get the new females you're going to have to move around the decor. . so they can establish their areas.

Eh - it's really up to you - but the weekend's just around the corner. (it can't get here fast enough!!!)
