[5green]

i have a vt female in a 3 gallon tank with filter and am planning on getting two cory fish and another female do i have enough space? pls reply

[Krys]

No. One betta needs at least 2.5 gallons of water/space.

Nope, I wouldn't put anything else with a Betta unless you have at least a 10 gallon or larger tank.

What AngelicScars said. lol. And you cant put just two females together. Has to be a 10+ gallon with a group of 4+ females.

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.

i dont think i have enough room for more than 10 gallons but i do have enough for 10 gallons

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

RoseyD is right. If 2 females live together, one will dominate the other and someone will get hurt or killed.
