Female Bettas

[FanOFish]

What kind of disposition does a female Betta have? Is it the type of fish you could put into a community tank that does not have a male Betta or do they tend to be aggressive towards the same other fish that a male Betta would be?

I've been seeing more and more nice looking females lately and thought I might get one for the tank listed in my signature.

Thanks

Females are great! Just as much personality as the males . A hex would be a little tall for her though....that's a loooong travel up to the top for a gulp of air

I think you're stocked enough already. Hex tanks hold less fish than a rectangular tank with the same amount of water - the surface area of a hex is much smalle than that of a rectangular tank. The amount of fish depends not only on the amount of water, but also the surface area of the tank - the larger the area, the more fish. But, if you really want a female - they're great community fish and are not nearly as aggresive as the males. Several females can be kept in the same tank with no problems.

My female, Eleni, thinks she's a guppy! She's got an awesome disposition, and sometimes I catch her on the bottom of the tank pretending to be a cory... she's really silly.
