I went to PetCo to buy some Otos for my 44 gallon community tank. My favorite family owned pet store was out and I really need some help with the algae. On the way to the cashier I saw several beautiful, :wub: healthy looking female bettas for just $2.49 each. Since my tank has a few vacancies, I bought 4 in assorted colors (marble blue/pink; deep blue; turquoise; and beige/red). They joined 3 large plakat females (I've recently lost 3 of their siblings), 3 julii catfish and 3 harlequin rasboras. The marble kept picking fights with the older, larger females, as well as with the other three new ones. Unfortunately, she kept it up, and is now in a 2.5 gallon all by herself. Everyone else seems to be settling in fine. Perhaps "she" is a "he", or she could just be especially aggressive.

:good: I mostly wanted to share that I was impressed with the care notices attached to the female cups as well as the clean water and healthy looking fish. :)
 
The dark blue one has a split tail after her fight with the blue/pink one (who is now in a separate tank). The dark blue, red, and light blue ones are in the community tank.

Ooh! I like the red/blue one in the top right corner! :drool:

Makes me want to start another girly collection.
 
Ohhh, they are very pretty, lots of gorgeous colors! :wub:
(my favorite is the mean one! :lol: she's gorgeous)
 
Yes naughtygirl, I said red/blue, but I guess it's the blue/pink one that I mean. :drool:
