Started A Sorority

[athao04]

Woot! I finally started a sorority. I got 5 females at the moment, but Im thinking about jumping up to 7. This is all in a 20g. Im thinking I would have enough room right? Since its about an inch a gallon of water. Anyways, I love the sorority tank and the girls are great to watch.

So you have five female Betta fish? Cool! I read a message on here that the females can become aggressive and territorial, and that the maximum amount of female Betta fish in a tank was three, because of territory issues, but maybe that is just for a three gallon tank, like what I have. Good luck with your Bettas. I hope everything turns out well, if you decide to get two more to add to your Betta fish aquarium.

So many things wrong with what you just said.... I don't believe any well-meaning member of the forum would tell you something like this.

First of all, the minimum number of females you can keep together is 4 or 5. Secondly, they must be in at least 10 gallons. This is because of the territory issue.

Keeping 3 females in a 3 gallon is a NO-NO. 3 gallons is about the right size for just one fish, not three.
