Betta compatability

[spookykid927]

I have two female mollies and I was wondering if I could get a female betta and have everything work out between them? Will they get along?

JtHM!!! (Sorry, it'll take a while for the effects of your avatar to die down. )

As for your question, they should be ok. You said you have two mollies and 11 fry. Therefore, the betta should be ok in there.

Potential problems:
Betta and mollies eating the fry, depending on their size
Betta being a bit temperamental at the start, but things should be ok
Potential overstocking if fry live and grow up in the 10 gallon (that's the right size, right?)

For future referrence, if you have a tank problem or questions, please post the tank size, too. It helps out those who don't know what fish and size tank(s) you have.

It's nice to see a Jthm fan on here ^^

Well, actually, my fry are in a separate holding system from the Mollies because they are too small to swim among the bigger fish. I think what I will do once the fry get big enough is to get another 10 gallon tank and hold equal amounts of Mollies in each and MAYBE get a Betta...lol I love Bettas but I don't exactly have the room for one right now...it was just a question out of curiosity and for future reference (in case I do get a Betta) ^^ Thanks for your help.
