a123andpoof, you are correct to keep the girls separate. IMHO I believe a sorority should be atleast 20 gallons.

[a123andpoof]

I know it can be done with 10 gallons and plan on doing one in the near future, but i want to make sure i have the right girls for that project. But with these girls it would not work. I don't see anything wrong with it. but everyone has their own opinions on fish care. I think as long as you have the fishes best interest in mind it's all good. its different for everyone.

You need 3-4 Bettas 10 gallon and plenty of hiding spots but always have a backup plan.

I do that with a few plants check my album.

Man, your aquariums are fantastic!! i would kill to have acess to half of the stuff you have there, here i can't even find the most comuns aquatic plants to buy , and a lucy bamboo is just a distance and unreachable dream for me... my city sucks...

I've done a soerity with a 10G. They were all juvies when I added them but they sprouted like weeds when I put them into the 20G. The little butthole in the upper right hand corner turned out to not be a female. All of them are pretty mellow.


And here they are now - all growed up - about a month ago. He flares sometimes but that's about it. If I could get a 40g for them, I would but it wont go over well if my tank crashes through the floor


I cant find any plants locally either. I got most from an online plant shop and some from members here. I'm surprised they are all doing good except the 2 clusters of feathery plants in the front. They all died but the bigger species in the back is doing well. I think that mighe be because I have some 3 inch snails that like to bulldoze through my decor and it uproots them. They then float at the surface where they get more light till I replant them again. I think the extra light helps.
