How to start a Female Betta Sorority or Community Tank

How to start Female Betta fish sorority or community tank. Everyone has different ways and views. I'm sharing how I did it and what worked for me. Recommended minimum tank size would be 20 gallon long with a heater and filter. Be sure to cycle the tank before adding your fish. The tank needs to be heavily planted with places to hide. Choose your female bettas carefully. Adding a group of at least 5 females is preferable. Be sure to acclimate them before adding them into the tank. I had given my females fresh clean water. I did not add the store water to my tank. If your water is store water do not add this to your tank. Once they're in the tank watch them closely for several days. Aggression can sometimes not show for several hours to several days. I did not have any issues with aggression. My girls all get along very well. Do lots of research before starting a Betta sorority. ** Female Bettas do not always get along, there are never any guarantees with Betta fish. If you choose to put females together you need to be sure you have the resources and the space to separate them if necessary. Amazon affiliate link. TANK SET UP.

Thanks for watching. The water in the cups was not store water but fresh clean water. It's not advisable to add store water to your tank. Here's the link to see our latest upgraded female betta tank. A lot has changed!! https://youtu.be/n1MIslYNju8

Lifewithpets okay thx I might be on my way to to store to get 5 female bettas one peecock eel and a couple of tetras etc... for my 55g tank
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Yes as long as it is well planted. The thing to remember with bettas in general is there are never any guarantees.
zioro1235
zioro1235 - 7 years ago
Lifewithpets can 5 be in a 55gallon tank if they are baby's and with other fish like tetras and those small fish
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
No, females need to be in groups of 5 minimum. Two would be extremely stressed and over time likely kill each other, it rarely works. They can live with other fish as long as the tank is large enough but there needs to be 5 females.

I need to ask you this question my birthday just passed And My grandma and my friends Got me money for my birthday I have to 20th and 2 fives I have $50 I am planning on getting a 20 gallon to a 55 gallon fish tank at Walmart if my mom lets me get it worth my money how long should I have the tank running with now fish in it yet how long should I have it be cycling?

Lifewithpets Yeah I know that because that's what I've been telling my mom that they need a bag size but she just won't listen to me and she told me a 3 gallon will be OK I keep telling her over and over no it won't My mom keeps telling me a 3 gallon tank will be OK they won't Kelly chudler and I keep telling her yes they well and I am f**** it up and I'm killing them if I ate if they're in a small space
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
A sorority is more than one female Betta so I’m assuming you’re talking about putting several in a 3 gallon tank? If so they will kill each other and at best live in constant stress. A 3 gallon tank is only big enough for one fish.

Can you do a group of 6? I would like an even number... and I want to theme it around Legally Blonde (the musical) and have it be a Delta Nu Sorority tank. I have 6 names picked out. Elle, Serena, Margot, Pillar, Kate, and Courtney (which was the name of my delta nu character when I did the show).

No, the tank is way to small. For females you need a minimum group of 5 and even then there are no guarantees.

My policy is to put new fish in a quarantine tank.
Keeping Bettas in quarantine can be a nightmare. I bought a pair last week and had to separate them with a plastic wall otherwise one of them would beat the other.
Now the female is in the community tank and today I add the male but am kinda afraid of what will come (moving them separately was a necessity...)
The tank has 15-18 gallons of water and is well planted but still...
Acvaristul Lenes
Acvaristul Lenes - 7 years ago
Yesterday in the evening, I put the male in the big tank. The biggest and worst suprise came from the platies that started ripping his fins. After 5 minutes I took him back to the qt tank. Now, I'm stuck with a third tank.
I'm really glad that I use qt otherwise...I don't even want to think about it.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Male and female in the same tank is not usually a good idea. I’d watch them very closely. It’s likely they will kill each other.

Iron Spectrum I have a single betta in a 5 gallon and I have a hard enough time keeping the water clean, even though I do biweekly 25% water changes. Ignoring the fact that bettas shouldn't be together in the first place, I can't even imagine 4 of them in something as small as a 10 gallon. That's just cruel.
killer slowpoke
killer slowpoke - 7 years ago
Keith Kogane actually the maximum for a 10 gallon would be 2, though in my honest opinion I'd say 1 would be the max.

betta fish expert 1 - 7 years ago
Kerry Mccarthy yes but get a breeder net put the betta in it see if he flares if he does wait longer or for a couple of days if that keeps happening take him out if he doesn't flare at all let him out after 20 minutes and watch him when you leave him overnight put him back in the breeder net for nights for a couple of days then watch him that's what i did then Finally let him go for a night inspect everything to make sure it's OK than if it is he should be fine I no it seems like a lot but is not really

I've been watching your videos. I just bought my very first 20 gallon hexagon tank that was on sale at petsmart. I'm planning to do a sorority of Betta girls. First, I'm filling the tank little at a time to see if the desk. I was told that the desk is made out of real wood and then I will cycle. :) Your videos been very information. :) Can I have a ghost shrimp along with them? I'm wondering.

Lifewithpets

You will need to remove the existing female and change the tank up so when you add her back in with the others she won't think she owns it, Make sure the tank is heavily planted. Three females rarely work out.

Is it best to rase one female first before you introduce another female? I was thinking about getting a baby female so my current female has a friend. I don't have the space for a large 10 gallon glass tank plus I'm paranoid of breaking said glass tank.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
No, Females need to be in groups of 5 or more in at minimum 10 gallon tank but preferable 20 gallons. They will likely kill each other if you have only 2.

Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
I really can't comment on what someone else has done and there experience. The issue with sorority is they don't always work. You can have what seems like the perfect set up and things can still go wrong, There are no guarantees with a sorority so you must be able to house them all separately if needed.
Rebecca King
Rebecca King - 7 years ago
This is hypothetical I know females should be started in a 20-30 gallon tank heavily planted/decorated BUT at my local fish specialty store they have a female sorority tank already established with females that get along...would it be fair to the fish to put like 4 of them in a 10 gallon? This is a hypothetical situation of course but I wanted to throw the idea out there because they already get along

Hi ! I never had bettas but my vet has one in his clinic and i fell in love with those cuties. I had tilapias which i bred( as hobby not for business), plecos, barbs, danios,neon tetras, gupies, swordtails and ghost shrimp, so i have a little knowledge about aquatic pets. However, i am very intimidated by bettas since they have very strict tank mates restritions. I would like to start a sorority. I have an empty 42/43 gallon tank....what do you advise?
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Yes, that could work. The thing with bettas are there are never any guarantees. They would likely eat ghost shrimp.
Sarah Bagwan
Sarah Bagwan - 7 years ago
Lifewithpets right,thank you for your advice! Do you think i can use females of a same fry? Like all sisters? Also, if i want a sorority only tank...can i add ghost shrimps?
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Female sorority tanks are difficult. If the tank is heavily planted and you can get 10-15 females all around the same age and at approximately same time it can work. The problem is if you have a female or two who do not like communal living you would need extra tanks for them.

I got 5 bettas in 8 cardinal tetras and 5 rasbora tetra in a 15 gallon tank follow this video. My bettas don't fight and follow each other like a school fish. I don't even need cover because they are always together. They don't even flare at each other. Thanks for the video. Now I'll try to do one with males on it and hopefully they don't kill each other.

Im thinking of putting 25 female bettas in a 32 gallon tank...will that work? ive heard from cichlid keepers the more numbers you have the less aggression since it spreads out in the group...will the same work for betta? atleast thats how they keep them in petstore right? as a large group...?
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
I personally think that's too many. The larger the group the bigger the tank needs to be. I've found 7-8 worked well in a 20 gallon long. When I tried adding more there was a lot more aggression. I wouldn't do anymore than 15.

Fiji Water
Fiji Water - 7 years ago
what do you do when you already have just one betta in a tank? I just got a girl who I later want to make a sorority with, but I've had her for about a day and a half which was enough time for her to find territory (behind the heater). I've heard you should rearrange the tank but I'm not entirely sure. Any suggestions?
Eric Lind
Eric Lind - 7 years ago
Fiji Water If your female is fairly non-aggressive then you can do it. However if she is aggressive and dominant, will be tough. I started a sorority by getting 3 new females and selecting which was the one bullied. She was the starting seed for the sorority. Then added a new young female of same color tone every one-two weeks. Was easy as the seed female who is the largest and oldest set the social order of non-aggression. I also do some "social engineering". The two original aggressive females ironically co-exist cause they are both tough. They live with a young submissive male. On two occasions, there were times when the new young female I wanted to add got cocky and tried to pick fights. I simply took her out and threw her in tank with the 2 dominant females and male. Of course she got bullied by the two dominant females, but I closely monitor the activity and after a few minutes she's scared so I move her back to the sorority and just like that, aggression gone.
My advice if you add new females is let the newbie roam the tank alone first for a while (not too long) and then add back your sorority.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Ideally they all need to be added at the same time however when you have the others, completely rearrange the tank making sure it's heavily planted.

You messed up you add the store water into your fish tank and the fifth one will likely be more picked on because the period between you wait to put her in the well have already developed a hierarchy and she will be the new girl! Have you not seen any of the mean girls!!

As stated in the comments and description it was not store water. The girls are still living happily together with two more added. If you want to see them check out later videos!

That is why I said 'likely' kill each other. We are not talking about the exception here. It can occasionally be done if the tank is large enough and extremely heavily planted but is not recommended. A 20 gallon tank is way too small. Most of those who have done it have much larger tanks and many end up taking the males out due to stress. Just because someone posted a video doesn't always mean that the long term outcome was good. I saw a video recently of someone who had done it and also added females. He did this big long video on how everyone was wrong and they could live together. three weeks later he did another video warning others not to do it as they had killed each other. Thankfully he was responsible and did another video but how many don't? With the right conditions it can possibly be done but is not something I recommend .
Eric Lind

Lifewithpets Not entirely true. There are some people who posted videos of males living together.

You can't put males together, they will likely kill each other.

how many fish can fit in a 10 gallon
Susie Puleri
Susie Puleri - 7 years ago
The rule of thumb is 1" of fish per each gallon of water. This can vary a little depending on the amount of filtering you have - but not by much. It also depends on how much waste the fish produce that you choose. For example, goldfish produce much more waste than tetras or many other fish... There is a lot of good information on the web - google any questions you have. www.aqadvisor.com is a great resource to help guide you - you can enter in the size tank and type of filter you have and what type of fish you are considering getting and they will tell you advice specific to what you want. Good luck!

My red female is doing wonderfully. I put her in a 10 gallon with a heater and filter with low flow. I also put some established filter sponge in as well. It's day 4 in the 10 gallon so.. if things go good .. you think it's a safe bet to buy maybe 3 females? A total of 4 in a 10 gal? Several more plants added for good hiding.

Lifewithpets

I personally have found 4 fight way more than 5 do. Also if you add three more to the existing tank be sure to change it all up and take out the original female. She will already think she owns the tank!

I would never put water into the water where the fish is in.. I've read up that the water they are in if you put it in the aquarium it can make the water toxic for the fish.
Lifewithpets

That's correct. The water in these cups was not store water. When I bring the fish home I put them in fresh clean water straight away.

so recently i bought a betta that i had in a 2.5 gallon and it looked sad so i decided to put two guppies that i bought at petsmart as usally i let them in the bag and in the water for about 10 minutes and put them in the tank and the next day one of the guppies died and than the other died and then my bettas tail was ripping off so i got scared since it was my first betta and i wasn't able to get the water conditioner and on wensday it pasted away but im very sad but i found out thet one of the guppies had rotten tail with it killed my betta
April Cervantes

i had water conditioner but the guppies were tiny and i was planning to get a 10 gallon from walmart but it had died but thank you
Lifewithpets

I'm sorry for your losses. The tank is too small for other fish also without water conditioner fish can die quickly. A 2.5 gallon is only big enough for one Betta and maybe a snail.

Every tank and Betta is different. I'd make sure they're not stressed, with stress strips and he's not hiding and no nipped fins. If you've got a very large tank you may get away with it but I'd watch them carefully as it's likely only a matter of time. It can work out occasionally but is definitely the exception rather than the rule.

Hello there, I have been watching a bunch of your videos on sorority tanks recently because I plan to start my own up within the next few months. On your video about adding a new female to the sorority you mentioned you kept her in quarantine for a while before adding her in, now is this the case for when you first start the sorority to? Do I need to quarantine all 5 of my females before adding them to the tank or can I just add them all in at the same time right after I get them? Awesome videos by the way, you are so helpful!
Lifewithpets

I would add them first and then float the females for a long time so they can get used to them. You must be setting up a large tank. The bettas will have a nice home.

Lifewithpets

When first setting the tank up they can all go in together but if you add anymore after that it is best to quarantine them for a little while so you don't add any disease to the existing group.

Hi. Just a suggestion, do not put a new smaller betta in with four females. If you put her in last, they seem to develop a "pecking order" and the newest one is exclusively picked on. At least that's what I read. But it's ur deal, and I hope everything comes out ok.

Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Thank you for watching. I've done this many times and never had a problem. In fact the younger the betta the better. I've found that if you add younger ones to an established group they tend to ignore them as they are not seen as a threat. I've just added 2 new young ones to this group and they've paid no attention to them at all. Problems often arise if you add older females as they tend to be more aggressive and will challenge the ones in the existing group.

I will make sure to have a separate tank. A 2.5 gallon one at the ready just in case one or both start being aggressive fin nipping and the likes. They are both beautiful colors and I purchased the females because they are just as cute as the males are if not cuter. But many just pass them by and go for the males. I will make video of them once the tank is setup provided my lighting is good with the camera. Thank you for your useful reply too Lifewithpets.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
It's very rare two females living together work out especially in a smaller tank. They will often appear to be getting on for a day or two then once they have settled they usually turn on each other. I'd advise making sure you have separate tanks ready in case you need them. I hope it works out for you. I love veiltail bettas.

It's very rare it works out. In fact I've recently had several people come to me with issues of 3 females in 10 gallons tanks. Minimum that usually works is 5 females but I'd highly recommend a 20 gallon tank. 10 gallons in my opinion is too small. There are never any guarantees with sorority tanks so you must always be prepared with separate tanks in case it doesn't work out.

wow, this is actually very nice :O. I think that at one point, some aquarist will be able to put males betta togheter. Ive actually witness a video of a 280 gallon tank with guppies, an angel fish and three male betta together, their was no fine nipping behavior, every betta where triving... the key is to have a massive tank with so many plants that the betta don't have to see each other. I don't belive that betta should be kept alone in tiny tanks. in every video ive seen, beta are more active in community tanks. betta are a great adition to a big tank, they are so underated! it's true that some of them are very agressive, but the passive ones diserve to have big tanks with some companions. im planing to make a planting tank of my 26 gallon. right now, i want an angelfish and tetras. is their a chance i could put females betta in the tank, because they would be very awsome top dwellers. if they can't, could it put platy or molies instead?

My goal was about 30 cardinal, neon, & green tetras, 3 julii cory, and I had a few otocinclus that I was holding in there for mu husband's tank. (I have filters on this tank for 70 gallons of water, so I could put in a bit more than the recommended 1" per gallon.) The finishing component was to introduce my male betta (Ricky) into the tank. I had watched Ricky for the entire 6 months in his 2.5 gallon bowl. He was quite docile and such a sweet natured betta. Things went well for about a week. He seemed to mind his own business and had enough space that he could roam and didn't seem to bother anyone. But then everything turned south. I found two dead julii cory. Upon finding these I studied Ricky more closely and saw that his behavior had changed. He was leaking and hiding and began going after the tetras. I thought I had enough hiding places in the tank, but maybe I needed more. I removed Ricky, who had become agitated and was eating so much that he was bloated up from getting too much food...way more than he is used to getting. Immediately upon removing him, I had a terrible ich breakout in the tank - most likely due to the stress of putting Ricky in there. He scared my others fish and so I began treating for ich. After two days of treating I woke up to 17 dead tears floating on the top of my tank. Subsequently I lost all but 5. So the moral to this story is to be very, very cautious in introducing a male betta or multiple. The experience changed him (though now he is alone and back to normal - and very happy) and it killed my community tank almost entirely. :(

Yes it would be so nice, wouldn't it? :) One day, I might try it in a huge aquarium and I will be really selective and attentive to that tank, but yeah, I wouldn't recommand it and I most first gain a lot of experience and knowledge with bettas before I could even concidere doing it... I can't to it with my current ressources, but one day, Ill try to do a really nice community tank with some male bettas co-existing with each others. Space is probably one of the biggest factor, as well as the hidding spots available and of course, the personality of the fish themselves. In a community tank, the advantage would be that their would be so much fishes that it would be difficult for the bettas to catalyse their agressivity only toward their own kind...but for now, this is all only theory for me and I won't try it before im sure I can achieve this and have mutiple backup plans in case it dosen't work! The last thing I want is to creat a war between bettas that are trully beautifull fish :).

Jean-Michel Gervais I agree with you. Also people can do that if they out more female than male bettas in one tank
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
No, I don't think this would be a good life for him. He would get very stressed out by all the other fish and not feel secure. I think setting up another tank would be a great option.
Bob J-M Gervais
Bob J-M Gervais - 7 years ago
or actually I could put him in a breader tank... is it enough to support him all is life? because I trully like bettas and i want to offer a good life for one of them, but i don't want the risk of stressing him or other fish...
Bob J-M Gervais
Bob J-M Gervais - 7 years ago
thanks for the info, it have been very eye oppening :). I think i should go for the angel instead of the betta, it will be less complicate and risky... but i might set a small 5 gallon specially for a betta :)
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
In theory they should be ok, but bettas can be unpredictable in what they will and won't accept. Rummy nose and Harlequins are a great addition to any aquarium. When it comes to female bettas the less other fish the better. The stocking rules generally don't apply the same because they need more space per fish to establish territory.
Bob J-M Gervais
Bob J-M Gervais - 7 years ago
barbs are out of the way, they are fine nippers... i was talking about rummynoses, Harlequin rasbora (even if it's not a tetra) and neon. :P
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
The things with bettas is they don't like a 'busy' tank. So if you're doing tetras you would have to choose them wisely. I've only owned a few different types but never with bettas so I can advise on that. As for what other fish you can put with females you are limited, platys and Cory's are the main ones. Barbs, and you're fasting moving fish would not be suitable tank mates.
Bob J-M Gervais
Bob J-M Gervais - 7 years ago
thanks a lot :). i didin,t taught that their was a difference in comportement between platies and mollies, so thanks for this info :). i agree with you about the waterflow. so, if an angel is not a good choice (I was suspecting that, but I like to have the opinions of a lot of person), what kind of fish would you recommend putting with the betta and the tetras? (it's more out of curiosity, im still planing what fish i want in the 26 gallon and i really like angels, but I don,t know if im going to change my mind in the last second, so it's better for me to have a lot of info about a lot of fish so i can mantain a nice community tank :) )
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
I agree with you, male bettas can live peacefully in community tanks as long as the tanks are big enough and have suitable tank mates. One of the issues with them living in a community tank is the water flow, it is often too strong for them and can cause them a lot of stress. Betttas need very little water movement . Females in a 26 gallon heavily planted tank should work out well however there are never any guarantees. I would not recommend putting angel fish in with bettas. As Angels mature they can get very aggressive and territorial. I found Platys do well with females, Mollies typically don't.

To prevent aggression there should be many more plants! I see this in almost every video on Youtube. Betta tanks with only few plants and plastic decoration. I really don't know why people like it. Natural tanks with lots of wood and many plants are much nicer, closer to nature and better for the fish.
Josalie Wilson
Josalie Wilson - 7 years ago
Lifewithpets I've got to ask. what was it like when you first put the bettas in together? I finally tried with five females today and after watching them fighting almost as soon as they were in, I separated them again. I was reading through the comments to see if that was normal. I might have missed something but one fish was obviously very stressed based on the type of lines on her body and three of them were particularly aggressive. after about 20-30 minutes I gave up. fins were already torn when I took them out. was that too soon to give up? I know they are to establish hierarchy. I just don't know how exactly they do that. I'd floated them for about 3 hours prior to putting them together. there was some flaring. but I really thought they would each find their own space in the ten gallon tank and not fight. Instead four of then kept following each other in and out of the plants and fighting. Ah well. I'm afraid to try again but advise me
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
I agree. There is an update video to this one as the tank has changed a lot since this video was done. Most betta sororities fail due to lack of plants and poor water quality. This tank is very well planted now. The plants grew very quickly. All the females are still doing great, they're very peaceful with no aggression issues. The more natural a tank the better for any fish.
Florence Phillips
Florence Phillips - 8 years ago
If the female bettas are already together in the tank at the store, does that mean that there will be likely no aggressive behaviour ?
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Unfortunately no. There is the advantage that you can observe the females with other females whilst in the store. You need to look for stress strips and nipped fins. Once the females are removed from a larger group they then have to establish their hierarchy in the new group.

A person who has a channel,
It's Very risky and I don't recommend it at all here is what would happen
you put the fish in, the females will start fighting for the male, once only one of the females is still alive the male will mate with her and than if she survives she will give birth and than she will fight to the death with the male and you will end up with one batta left not counting the few babies that survived so if you want that sure!

Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
It sounds like you have a very aggressive female. Some females can be too aggressive to breed. I'd maybe try a different one. When bettas breed it is a very aggressive process.
Zahid Khan
Zahid Khan - 8 years ago
Yes she is having vertical breeding strips but it is since i had purchased about 2 weeks ago and she is bigger than male in body size
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
No, this is the only way I know to do it. Breeding bettas is difficult and requires patience. It often takes several attempts or breeding pairs for it to work. Are you sure she is female? Does she have vertical breeding strips?
Zahid Khan

+Lifewithpets yes i had follow same things infact lastly i had kept female for about five days in separate box in same tank and she is having strips since i had purchased last thing i can assume is either she might be male of female kind
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Have you had her in a breeder box in the same tank as the male so they can see each other but not get to each other? You have to wait till she has breeding strips and he has built the bubble nest, then she will be ready to be released and breed. Even when they're ready to breed they often seriously injure each other during the process.
Zahid Khan
Zahid Khan - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets yes i want them to have babies and i had followed the same steps mentioned in videos for breeding but as soon as i relase female in tank she attacks male my male is very handsome why she is so aggrasive i don't undersand how to pair them
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Males and females cannot live together. They will kill each other. You have to condition the female to the male if you plan to breed and then once they've bred she must be removed from the male.

hi I am marisa's mamaw , the Marisa from Marisa's betta fish. she is thinking of moving scarlet out of her 10 gallon and taking out violet and get 4 other females to go with her. she loves her betta fish alot. I own a crowntail that marbiling , she told me he was and that he looks different.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Hi, Marisa's mamaw, I personally don't think a 10 gallon is big enough and the reason is bettas are very territorial, they need space to have their own territory and a 10 gallon is not big enough for that. Many sororities fail for this reason. If it fails you also need to have tanks to house the females separately so you need a lot of spare suitable sized tanks with filters and heaters etc. You need a minimum of 5 similar age females, So violet or scarlet will probably not work. They're much older and will likely kill or seriously injure younger bettas. I'd suggest she wait till she can get a 20 gallon and start with 5 new females all bought at the same time and a similar size. It's also needs to be very heavily planted for it to work, so this will require buying lots of either live or fake plants, the tall large ones. I'm sorry this is probably not what she wanted to hear but sororities are difficult and need to be done very carefully. I know she loves her bettas and does the best she can for them.

I've been wanting to do this for awhile but was scared of the fighting since bettas are known for thier aggression .

Thanks for watching! You can put different female tail varieties together but it is better if they're younger or at least all the same size. Mine were not baby bettas from petco, they were a little larger. They were from the 'regular' female section at Petsmart. The conditioning of them at the beginning is important. When you choose them try not to get any that are feisty and showing aggression. I've just recently bought another one to add to the group. My females are large in size now so I made sure the new one was a little smaller and unsure of herself so they wouldn't see her as a threat. She's fitted in really well. Video on her and her transition into the group will be up on Tuesday!

Lifewithpets

One bad experience doesn't mean all bettas can't live in community tanks. As I've said some bettas are too aggressive. It didn't work out for you and others you know and that's ok, but It's worked out great for me and many others I know. It all depends on the individual Betta and the tank mates. On this subject we will have to agree to disagree.
haloshinder
haloshinder - 8 years ago
It wasn't the angelfish's fault cause they live in the community tank with lots of other different types of fish. Like I said betta's are not good community tank fish cause they are fighting fish. Angelfish are good community tank fish. I'm not the only one that has tried to put a betta in a community tank and it has failed.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Angel fish are not at all suitable fish to be with Betta fish. Angels are territorial too so you had two fish together that will fight for territory. It's widely accepted that bettas can live with peaceful community fish as long as the Betta is not too aggressive. I've had many male bettas live in a community tank with no issues at all. Not all bettas will live in a community tank but most will if they're with suitable tank mates and the tank is big enough and decorated well.
haloshinder
haloshinder - 8 years ago
Betta's are not good community fish. I tried putting my betta in my community tank and the first few days he was doing fine then one day I wake up and my angelfish top fin was gone. Once they get comfortable it's not good cause they will be territorially. My beta is back in his own tank now.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Females can live together as long as they're not too aggressive and you have more than 5 in a heavily planted tank. My tank is very peaceful. A single male Betta can live with peaceful community fish as long as your tank is large enough (10 gallons or more) and he's not too aggressive.

I personally think a 10 gallon is too small for a Betta sorority especially if you already have 6 neons in the tank and are thinking of adding Corys. Corys need to be in groups of at least 3 or more. You need at least 5 females for a sorority, any less than that and it usually doesn't work out. 5 female bettas plus 6 neons would not give the bettas the space they need.

As a Breeder of Betta's for more than 25 years I must say I enjoy your videos! My favorite freshwater fish aside from Angel's.
I had quite a few sororities back in the day and did have alot of enjoyment especially when new color patterns developed or style of fins changed on the young <After careful selection for breeding>.

I would say 5 is a great bet though depending on the tank size you can really get a larger group, especially heavily planted tanks <live plants>. Keep up the great work!

+Lifewithpets ok
Lifewithpets

Yes but it often fails because the mesh is not really suitable. Also the Bettas can still see each other which causes them great stress. You have to be sure the mesh is doubled and fastened so it's off set this way they can't see each other as easily. I have a video on how to make a proper divider not using mesh if you want to check it out. A 20 gallon can only be split into 4 to give them enough room.

When you next go to the store, look at their tail fins and see if they have rips in them. This will tell you just how well they get along. Once they have moved from that environment to yours they will need to re-establish their territory and pecking order. You will need to watch them for days. Plants are much more important than decorations.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
You could also order from Amazon. We get most of our fish supplies on Amazon as they're usually the cheapest. You need to be aware that not all sororities work. Be sure to have suitable tanks available for if you need to separate your females. This is usually the biggest mistake people make. They don't have other 5-6 tanks available for if things go wrong. With Bettas there are never any guarantees they will get along.

I am from the uk and water conditioner is easy to find at any petstore. You should always use it. When you take water to the store to be tested all they are testing for is ammonia, nitrite and nitrates but the water has high levels of other dangerous chemicals to fish. You're looking for something like Tetra Aqua safe. You can buy it on Amazon but most petstores that sell fish have it. Your fish won't live long without it and will suffer in the process.

+Lifewithpets I just used the same substrate. Same plants and same filter media. And I added additional bacteria. Well I guess I made a mistake though luckily my fish are doing just swimmingly.











I'll stop.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
To cycle a tank takes a long time for the bacteria process to work. You can add beneficial bacteria to a tank but that doesn't cycle it immediately it does helps the process along.The quickest I've done it is 4 weeks. The bacteria has to colonize in the filter. That doesn't happen in hours but weeks. The water needs to be tested regularly so you know when the ammonia and nitrite readings are zero and nitrate is showing in the tank. Then the cycle is complete.

Great video but you should never dump that nasty water in the tank so when you add the tank water use a syringe that has never been cleaned with soap as that is toxic to them hope to see more of ur videos

Please read the comments in the description box. The water that went into the tank was clean water. I always forget to state something in a video so I add it to the comments box.

u basically poured 4 random Port-a-Pottys into your tank. ppl dont add that nasty fishstore water to your tanks.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
The water in the pots was clean water. As I said in the video I left them for several hours to get used to each other. I did not leave them in the dirty store water but gave them fresh clean water. I should have said that in the video but I always seem to forget something.

People need to think....the more fish, the more waste there is, and the higher/quicker chance of the tank crashing. So the population to the tank capacity is crucial.


I'm not critiquing you, I'm only making an additional comment from my experience to other betta lovers.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
I agree, it's one of the reasons I recommend a 20 gallon tank. A 10 gallon sorority has become very popular but in most cases is fails. It's just not big enough for at least 5 females.
I Love bettas
I Love bettas - 8 years ago
could I try to put 2-3 females in a 4.6 gallon tank? thanks for your help!
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
It is but it all depends on water temperature. If you live somewhere cold then the hose pipe water will be really cold. Whereas using tap water you can regulate the temperature better. Always use water conditioner before adding new water. How big is the tank and is it filtered?
I Love bettas
I Love bettas - 8 years ago
I have one more question. I am about to upgrade to a bigger tank, and it is getting to be a lot of work to get gallons and gallons of water. Is it ok to use hose water as long as you use the right conditioners?
I Love bettas
I Love bettas - 8 years ago
ok. thanks!
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Thanks for watching. A 4.6 gallon is too small. Females need to be in a group of 5 minimum. This helps to spread out any aggression. If you have fewer females they are more likely to constantly fight and be very stressed.
Ominous Bliss
Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago
In a fish forum, someone stated that bettas are naturally not as aggressive as domesticated ones but people have made them that way to get them to fight as a game. Is that true?
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
I really hope it works out for you and them:)
Ominous Bliss
Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets i guess i can try, i dont think they have space though. One tank for one red devil XD good idea though. It is the fish that goes through worse. I'm using rainwater so it is cold as hell. I added it slowly with the heater on but two of them got shocked so they are swimming on their sides :(
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
I'm sorry you've had to go through this. Is there not a local fish store that would take them?
Ominous Bliss
Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets Thankyou, i'll just euthanize them then.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
A 150 gallon would be suitable for one. If they are Red Devils I'd personally only keep one. It would be easier all round.
Ominous Bliss
Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets I have a 150gal tank but that isnt enough for 5 of them isn't it? my dad left it behind and im not sure if i am capable to taking care of such a large tank so i was going to understock to make it easier but then these guys came along..... i think it is only suitable for two red devils? well, im still trying to figure out if they are red devils or a midas cichlids.
Ominous Bliss
Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets I don't think anyone would want them :( since the tub isn't big enough, they've been bullying each other so they are really sick. I think euthanizing is the best way because no one would be kind enough to get a sick fish, plus the amount of space they need. Btw they actually bond? i read some stuff about the males being a dick and only letting the females into their territory if they are willing to mate. Also they can kill their females too, doesn't sounds like they care XD
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Wow, Red Devils, you have your hands full! The ones you have left are likely to slowly kill each other until you are either left with a bonded pair or a single red devil. They can live peacefully with other peaceful cichlids they just don't do well living with their own kind. They also get very large 10-14 inches and need a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. I would recommend rehoming some if not all. As for breeding them to be more peaceful that would take many years, lots of tanks, money and cross breeding, if is even possible.
Ominous Bliss
Ominous Bliss - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets oh ok, thats pretty sad that they've been turned into something so aggressive just for our liking. I'm into peaceful fish, partly because someone gave me 10 freaking cichlids stating that they are tilapia. Turns out they are red devils..... they killed off 5 of them and only half are left. The poor things are forced into a 40 gal tub because i didnt have any experience with them since im new to this hobby. My mom insisted though -.-
Anyway, so would it be possible to purposely breed the to be peaceful or semi peaceful? i reckon that would make a lot of money if it was possible to keep multiple of them like the mbuna cichlids to lower aggression levels.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
There is some truth to this. Years ago the fish were selectively breed for their aggression to be used by kings for fighting games. Bettas today in some circles are still breed for that reason and prized fighters sell for a lot of money. Bettas are naturally aggressive however in the wild they would fight, but as with most animals once one shows more power the other will usually back down and leave the aggressors territory. This is what Bettas would do in the wild. If male Bettas are in a tank together they can't leave which is why they will often fight to the death.

I am planning to put two female bettas in a 2.5 gallon tank which will be heavily planted with lots of hiding places. I DO know that you need 5-6 females in a 10-20 gallon tank but my mom will say its to much work. I have had lots of exerience with bettas and WILL seperate them if they fight or look stressed.
Thanks!
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
This is a really bad idea. They will eventually kill each other. You are going to be knowingly subjecting them to cruel conditions. It's not about experience it's about giving them what's best for them. There is no if you have to separate them, you will have to separate them. So be sure you have another tank set up and ready. Why not put one in a 2.5 gallon giving it the best life possible.

They weren't stressed at all either they acted like twins they would swim together like a school, no fighting no flaring no nipping and no fighting food I was pretty surprised
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
I'm so sorry your fish died. It's sad when they die. It's very rare for two females to live peacefully together. They usually live very stressed lives, if they have black strips down their body they are stress strips meaning the fish is extremely stressed. You were very fortunate to have them live peacefully with no stress lines.

What about 2 females
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Two females will not get along. The more dominant will eventually kill the other. At the very least they'd live very stressed lives.

Hey there! Great video with lots of information! I have a single Male Betta in a 5Gal. Tank and was wondering whethor or not adding a bottom feeder fish would be okay? And if so what are the bottom feeders you have in the tank of this video?
Jonathon Lutringer
Jonathon Lutringer - 8 years ago
Good to know thanks!
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
A 5 gallon is too small to add any tank mates. Bettas are very territorial. Depending on the aggression level of your Betta and whether you think he'd accept anything else in the tank, I'd suggest maybe a nerite snail either the zebra or tiger Nerites. Most Bettas accept them. The bottom feeders in my tank are Julii Corys. They need to be in groups of at least 3 but preferably 5 and need a 10 gallon minimum for a group of 3.
Helena Fossum
Helena Fossum - 8 years ago
Can you keep 2 betta fish in a 2 gal.tank
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
No, they will kill each other. The minimum tank size for one Betta is 2.5 gallons. Male bettas cannot live with other betta fish and females can only live in groups of 5 or more if the tank is big enough. Preferable tank size 15-20 gallons.

Lifewithpets

A lot depends on the type of fish you have and what tank set up they need. So if it was for Goldfish, then very few plants, but for most community tropical fish they like a moderate to heavily planted tank.

I've kept lots of fish, from Betta to Oscars, and everything in between. But I've never done a planted tank. Can you recommend any beginner plants that would do well in a 55 gallon tank?
Ryder Jarvis
Ryder Jarvis - 8 years ago
+Lifewithpets Thanks
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 8 years ago
Thanks for watching. Like you we've owned Bettas to Oscars and everything in between and had never done plants. We started using them 3 months ago. I thought it would be difficult but it's been surprisingly easy. They've grown so quickly. We mixed a little fluval Stratum with the gravel. The only other thing we use Flourish root tabs. We don't dose or use CO2 nothing like that. Lighting is important though. Id suggest, Anubias, Amazon sword, Bacopa, Jungle Val, lugwigia and Java fern. There are all beginner plants and some of what we've started with. They would look amazing in a 55 gallon tank. They're easy to grow and with the right lighting and root tabs should grow fast! I have pictures on Instagram of the tank and its growth. Link to Instagram is in the description. There's also link in description box to the items I mentioned if you want to take a look at them. I hope this helps.

It actually takes many weeks to months for a fish to get accustomed to the new ph. All acclimation does is set the temps. to equal degrees. Thought I'd correct you.

Thanks for watching. I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. I read many articles from reputable fish sites that explained what acclimating is. I wanted to be sure my understanding and information was correct before doing the video. It's why I included the acclimating process because most people think it's just about temperature but it's so much more than that.

I'm going to purchase the tank on ebay today, and it comes with a filter and a hood with LED lights. I do want a snail to eat the leftover food and to filter it even more, I hope I can find the zebra snail at my local petco, if not I'll go to petsmart and if there is still no Zebra snail I'll just buy it on ebay. Thanks for your help!

Nerite are freshwater, however they need brackish water for their eggs to hatch if you wanted to breed them. They will breed in a freshwater tank but the eggs will not hatch.

Thanks for watching! The striped snail is a Zebra Nerite snail, there are also Horned Nerite snails, Tiger Nerite snails and a Mystery snail. They are good for tanks over 5 gallons. Snails produce a lot of waste so a filter is a must if you have them. I'm sure your Betta will enjoy it's bigger tank.
