Femae ok in this???

[ANIM4L]

Ok i have a female betta, and i was wondering if she would be ok in my 60 gallon aqaurium (stats on bottom)? I want her to roam free out of her 2.5 gallon, but i dont know what to do!!! She is a jumper though, i had her in my 10 gallon with a divider and she kept jumping over to the male side so i didnt know what to do, any suggestions on how to either seperate that 10 gallon better, or make her be ok in the 60, or should i leave her in the 2.5? Also if she goes in the 60, how do i feed her, how does she find her little pellets in that huge area???

I wouldn't add her to the 60g. The Gouramis and the Angelfish would make me EXTREMELY nervous about the whole thing.

Best to leave her in her 2.5 gallon, or fix up the divided tank better. I think she should be perfectly happy in her 2.5 gallon, though. A nice 2.5 gallon with clean water, plants, and places to hide can very much be a nice habitat for a Betta.

you could make the divider go right up to the top of the lid, with no space at the top, so she couldnt' jump over

Yeah, definite NO about the 60. Gouramis are VERY aggressive and are in the same family as bettas. NOT a good match. She'll be fine in a 2.5 by herself. Either that or try the higher divider. Or lower your water level a couple inches. I doubt she'll be able to jump that high.
