Hi folks,
Some of you might not remember me because I hadn't logged on to this site in over a year.
Anyway, here's what's happend since I've been gone.
Breeding my bettas, Cole and Myra was unsuccuessful so I put it aside for the time being.
I sadly lost Myra to a relapse of fin-rot in July 2015 and Cole passed away from old age this month.
I did get two new bettas, both are sisters, Tia and Tamara.
Tia and Tamara were both in the same tank when I got them at the fish store. They're 2 months old. Anyway... Tia is smaller than Tamara. Both had bite marks on their fins from their siblings when I got them.
The first couple of days I had them at home they pretty much avoided each other. Their living space is almost 2 gallons and has a plant.
It's been a week since I got them.
Lately, I notice Tamara chases Tia from time to time and they flare at each other. I've never seen them fight, mostly they just look at each other, I have seen them sit next to one another and they get along when I feed them.
Still, I am concerned about the chasing and flaring. Should I separate them or is this typical behavior between betta sisters?
Would greatly appreciate some help with this.
