2 Female Bettas

[derek9305]

I have a 2.5 gallon minibow and I have a female betta in already. Im wondering if i could put another in?
Its well planted and If it doesnt work I could always put one of the female bettas in my one gallon.

With female bettas you need 4+ to spread agression..and 4 wouldn't fit in your tank.

Severina is correct!!!

From, personal experience, female bettas are more aggressive than they are credited. I tried 4 females in a 6 gallon unsuccessfully.

I didnt say four only two

She's saying you need atleast four females.

if you had 2 female bettas one would get beaten to death so you need a minimum of 4 to spread out the aggresion and your tanks not big enough for 4

To have 4 females how big a tank would you need? I've always wanted to have more than 1 betta together after Chance ... well... has left me someday....

I don't want to go larger than 10g though (5 1/2 preferred) so may have to go with a divided tank. How would 1 male or 1 female betta do in 2.75g each?

Well, in a 10 gallon, you could keep six females. I think you may be able to keep 4 in a 5.5 gallonn.

That's generally not enough space for a female community.
