Females aren't as aggressive. They are normally kept in groups in comm. tanks. They should be fine.

good i love you for telling me that .

So they shouldnt bother my beutiful guppy??

they sjhudnt but they can be aggressive so be careful when introducing them

My females didn't like guppies in their tank and gave their tails a haircut so now they are only kept with cories and khulies

Depends on the individual betta really, try them out, but be prepared to make other housing arrangements

I tried 2 female bettas together in a 5G tank yesterday and the one that's a bit bigger pestered the heck out of the smaller one.

Just be prepared with other arrangements in case a fight ensues, cuz some females are just naturally little snotty hags.

As far as I know Female-Bettas schould always be kept in a group of 4-5 that way pestering smaller females will not happen.

either one female or at least four. Shouldn't be a problem with the guppies really.

I set up a newer 10G yesterday - and I'm going to get 2-3 more today to go along with the 2 that I already have (who are anxiously waiting in their little cups @ home to get into their nice new tank)

How big is the tank with the guppies in it? And how big is the male's tank?

I know that male bettas will harrass any fish with large tails (fancy guppies, angels, etc) as they see them as possibly being another betta and therefore a threat. I'm not sure about females though.

the size of my tank is about 2ft x 1ftx1.5 ft
