I got a few more female bettas a couple weeks ago for my community. I got 2 all white ones with blue eyes, and a pretty cambodian girl. After the quarinteen period was over, I re-arranged the tank and started putting them all back in there. About 10 minutes later, the 2 white girls started fighting big time, so I pulled one of them and gave her a 1 day time out in a breeder. While she was in there, the other white girl was beating on my other girls pretty bad. I kept a close eye on them that day and by about an hour later she had settled down somewhat to just flareing and chasing, and the next day let the other white one loose again. This time it only took them about two minutes and they were at it again so the white ones have both been dubbed the Raging Bi$^*es and can't go in with the other ones. Do you all think the white ones are just naturally more aggressive then other colors? The cambodian's working out good. She's chaseing the others, but I haven't seen the nipping and flareing like with the white girls. I just have to find one more now to bring the number to at least 6 again.
 
never heard of it sorry
it mabe just theyre nature to be like that coz theyre the dominant ones
 
I dunno. I have had 2 white males. 1 was a big ole softy..never flared or anything..he'd just swim the other direction if he saw another fish. The other was so aggressive he'd beat himself on the side of the tank if I let him see another fish.
 
my white male lightning was a sweety he seemed hyper but he was a sweety pie i miss him sooooooo much
 
Currently my cellophane girl rules the girl tank but is not a violent leader....she only chases the smaller blue one once in awhile.

The breeder I got her from, Colorado Crowntails, said usually cellophanes are pretty mellow but this girl can be feisty. It probably depends on the parents.

Nope, my white boys a wimp. My most violent is Hannibal (red), he'd actually attack whereas Vespasian (yellow) would prefer to flare crazily from a distance :)
