Flaring Question...

For the moment, I have my new Betta's in my 2.5 gallon take with the divider in it... I put my live plant in there along with some silk ones, but they are still flaring at each other alot.

Does them flaring all the time harm them? I am planning on either getting another tank this weekend or getting some aquarium sealent and adding some rocks to the divider, but just curious if they are OK for the next few days.

Thanks! ooooHHH, and here is a picture of my other boy from wuvmybetta, he is a crownie I think!

When they flare, is it just a flare then swimming away, or do they do the whole open-mouth, full on attack? I'd say if they're kind of casually flaring at each other, it SHOULD be okay - but the sooner you can get them not looking at each other 24/7 the better. If it is the full on attack, I'd say that's definitely not good for them and you should probably separate them til they can't see each other.

Go out and buy another 2.5G tank.
My boys each have their own.

i have had several different pairs in tanks with dividers the boys could see each other through and 2 got along fine and only flared occasionally, but the other 2 wrecked their tails flaring, i think it comes down to the individual betta personality!

Yeah, well they were really wanting to kill each other so I took one out and he's in a bowl until I can get a tank..

Thanks!
