I was just concerned about the number, less than four is a problem. I have only 1 thats peacful. poor lil girl, if i had three or more like her it would be a really great sorority of its own. Good luck with your girls. LOL Women :)

That's why your females are attacking each other. :S Standard rule for a sorority IS 4-7 females but you have to follow the 1-gallon per 1-inch of fish rule, the smallest size a sorority can be is 20g. x_X If you just upgrade the tank size you won't have anymore issues.

I was told be numorious people (all from on here) that it is 10g.

That's odd, I've never heard of a harmonious 10g sorority, especially with 4 girls in it. Sometimes there's that 1-off girl that likes to harass all the others but otherwise... Well I'm out of ideas then. I know everyone that has a 20g sorority has no problems with it.

So far I do.

I got 4 girls from the same shop from the same tank at the same time and they've been fine (I think they are siblings). I got another girl; she seemed quite laid back and her fins were torn to shreds. I introduced her to my sorority and it's been fine. Two of my girls were a bit stressed when there was 4 girls; now there is a 5th one the stress lines have definately gone. Since the 5th girl I haven't seen ANY fin nipping at all. Before the 5th girl I had a tiny tiny tiny bit nipping but nothing bigger than a milimeter or two.

If worst comes to worst I have spare tanks if anything did start to go wrong.

Right now we aren't sure if Drina is a boy or a girl and I don't want to take the chance of having him/her in the sorority continueing to chase my girls.
Should I get another girl to keep it at 5?
