Worse than cups

I think it would be a lot to have a tank custom made. A regular 20g works just fine.

That sounds like a good plan. Flaring is ok, my girls still do it sometimes. After a few days it'll die down though. After that time, if some girls are still attacking the others, you'll want to take them out though

i don't have a female community, but i think i read that you are better off adding the females all at the same time, because the new girl will get picked on by all the residents. i think if they establish their pecking order right off the bat they will be better off in the long run... hopefully some one else can confirm this!

I added the smallest first, and the larger/ aggressive ones later. If they're all the same size and temperment, you may be better to add them all at one time.

Don't have a decent cam, but this one looks like one of mine:

Actually she has the same color scheme (stripes and all) as Leica, Mia and Mitzi

Notice the "spikes" on the finnage.

mine has spikes aswell but form pics ive seen some veils have these spikes i guess...

mine has spikes that fork so im thinking its safe to assume its a CT..

They are starting to heal up now... Rita looks like she is a MALE PLAKAT and Rita is looking like she is a male CROWN OR COMBTAIL.

YIKES.

No wonder they all looks so badly beaten up.

I guess best if I feed those too forzen food for a bit and see if they develop the female belly.
