Update on sorority

[xShainax]

So the worst thing that happened is all 4 of them are missing a few chunks of fins. Surprisingly Big momma isn't alpha female even though she is the brattiest of them all.

You running a four sister sorority there, Shaina? How long have you had them? How big is your tank?

I'm not about to criticize. I'm thinking of housing a smaller sorority myself. Maybe 3 or 4 in an overplanted 5g.

They are in a 29 gallon with fake plants, a goldfish, and three platies. They have two huge caves to hide in when stressed, and they are all petstore betta's. If you want to do a smaller sorority, I suggest a 10 gallon

...A goldfish? Aren't they cold water fish that need very high filtration?

[Freyja]

xShainax your tank sounds overstocked, particularly with the goldfish. More filtration for sure and tons of plants.

[xShainax]

Actually goldfish can live in higher temperatures and I have two filtration systemes running at the same time. I have had them in there for three months and he is happy.

Excellent!

You need at least a 10 gallon.
