Would A Small Group Of Female Bettas Be Disruptive In A Community Tank

As above really. Want to add a bit of colour but unsure as to whether they would start to get territorial. Got a few Discus in there, 4 cardinals, empire gudgeon, Leopard Gourami (African Bushfish), a Blue Line Goby and a Rainbowfish

Discus? No, not with discus. They'll probably eat your bettas.

You do know the bushfish is likely to treat your Cardinals, Goby and possibly the Rainbowfish as "live lunch" eventually? Bought 3 of my 4 two years ago, the size of a 20p coin, now 10cm and will grow another 3 or 4cm.

Bettas would have the same problem as above, but if you wanted to do it short term get 6+, it spreads the aggression of the alpha and beta females better.

Depending upon tank size (4-foot plus), a group of Congo Tetra would get my vote, WOW in Romsey have some amazingly coloured up specimens in a nicely planted display tank.

That doesn't really surprise me, the general look of it wouldnt seem out of place in a Malawi set up. Never considered a gourami to be so aggressive. Territorial yes, but rainbow fish devouring capability? Surprises me, haha!

Thanks for the advice you 2
