Hi! So until today I was totally unaware of the species Betta Imbellis, but I now believe that I have two of them, a male and female, that I bought out of a sorority tank (!) from my LFS. First I was hoping someone with more experience could confirm that for me. This is Itty Bitty: She is very...

Hi everyone, so instead of breeding I have decided to start a sorority! I have a few questions because I want to know exactly what I'm getting into before I do it. Stocking: The tank is a 35 gallon (I think) hexagon, so it's tall. I would like to have 15 or 17 females (please tell me if that's...

Hey guys! I've had a betta sorority for about 3 going on 4 days. It is heated, 10 gallon, filtered, heavily planted, and has five females. I wanted to know how long, if ever, any fin biting could continue on for. All of my ladies have some fin nips at this point, but I noticed some new finnage...

So, to make a long story short my old sorority setup was 3 girls who were from the same spawn and sadly when Baby passed I had to separate her sisters because there was too much fin nipping. I missed seeing girls, though, so I thought I'd try to set up a more "robust" sorority with more girls...

So I have a small sorority of bettas in a 15 gallon tank; my smallest girl is being nipped relentlessly (Freddie). Because I have other fish in the tank, is it potentially safe to take Freddie out for a week or so to grow back her fins, or should I not even risk having two female bettas together?

Hi! I've asked something similar before, but I have 7 female bettas in a 55 gallon community tank. The lowest in the pecking order is really tiny and stays to herself a lot. But I noticed in the past week, her fins have been nipped at pretty badly. I'm thinking of putting her in her own tank...
