I've tried two females in a 5 gallon for a brief period, and they got along for about 3 days, before the less dominant one had her back fin ripped. - In a larger tank - ie - 10 gal. plus - add lots of floating plants - and you can have 3+ bettas. And, yes, I will recommend - add the cories - they are great enthusiastic swimmers who will keep the betta girls so entertained that some of the territorialism will dissapate. IT won't be 100% gone - I have a 20 gal with 5 girls and 3 cories - and I still see a bit of chasing - But with those floaters _ for me, I have a huge - plant with lots of hanging roots and branches/leaves - so that the others can always go into hiding, and there's enough girls in there that there isn't any 'one' being picked on more than the rest.

keeping 2 girls alone can be much more difficult because the one fish will always dominate the other ...

good luck.

make sure that if you want to put those two girls together that you plan on getting a few more so that there will be a pecking order

5green, also, if you plan to get 3-4 bettas then get a bigger tank. 3 gallons won't be enough. I suggest a 10 to be safe.
