Blue betta Females Viciously fighting

[Chicklet]

i did notice at my lfs a tank with females,and most haven bad fin damage. there were red in there and their fins were fine. i felt bad for the other ones getting picked on.

I wouldn't judge based on fin damage, Actually If I looked at mine, The fighters usually had bad fin damage too,
The ones that didn't have damage are usually females that no one picked on and was least aggressive to other fish and or good at avoiding the fighters...

I know that some breeders will take several females out in a group from a grow out tank. They've grown up together and will occasionally be able to peacefully cohabitate. you can see if there are breeders that are willing to sell you a group of females that are already acclimated to one another.

The breeder at bettatalk.com sells groups of females that are acclimmated to living together.

i'm glad i read your post, i was thinking about getting another female betta fish as a companion for the one i have, but i'm definitely going to avoid that right now.
