Question for ancestors that enjoy kept a betta sorority.?
Ok I have been keeping 6 female bettas contained by a 36 gal tank for about a year now. It have been interesting and a fun learning experience. BUT I personally expect bettas don't like living with other bettas. Yes the females learn to tolerate respectively other they get along, but they are not happy to be with other bettas.
What do you regard as? Do your females like the company of the other bettas or do you think they would be happier if they be the only betta?
I have had to separate 2 so I could treat them. They other seem to be less stressed and happy when they are absent from the other females. In the big tank with other girls they always own to watch their back because the dominate one will chance them. I gross sure they have lots of hide outs and room so they return with along but I just don't think they like it.
No answers axiom bettas will kill each other. Only people beside real experience keeping a sorority answer please.
I have a few female bettas also. I haven't noticed them discontent with each other. I like the track their colors change depening on their mood. Maybe if you watch their colors you can bring up to date if they are stressed or not. I also think a lot of the info. approximately bettas on the internet is redundant and not always true. For example, I have a male and a womanly together and they are doing fine. They have spawned regularly, and now I have tiny babies swimming around. Maybe I enjoy a special case. I think tank set up is highly important though.
I've kept female betas together. Breeding them is remarkably tricky because if it is not the right time the male and female will struggle. I had 3 females that got along just fine, and a fourth that unloved everyone. It basically depends on the fish's individual personality, some get along fine, others call for to be separated.
Answers: I think they do much better together, once they get a ranking worked out of course. Having to fend for a territory and for their food is a little more enriching than living surrounded by a bubble by oneself. Its certainly closer to what real life would be approaching (even though our fancy species don't live in the wild). Its good exercise for health as ably. I don't see skin fungus growing on an active healthy fish as opposed to a fish that's slothful and bored.
Males do much better in a community setting as well, imho. I've had manly bettas that swim laps around large tanks beside other fish. They are active and vibrant and look much better than a lone male would.
