I've got a betta question.....

[bettabub]

Well.....I was thinking of getting a 10gal. started and I wanted to put some FEMALE bettas together, plus I was thinking of adding a Java fern in as well.

Could someone please tell how many bettas I could place in the tank with and without the java fern.

Plus I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some female crown/and or half moon bettas...for as cheap as they come.

And please don't say an auction....expensive....

Steppy recomended that I see Yeeviabetta about this, so yeevia if you read this maybe you could help....

THANX ALOT,
Tom

i got my crowntail and double tail girls at walmart!!!

i may be missing something, but i don't think that having live plants (java fern) would affect the number of fish you could have...

i think 4-6 females is the recommended number for a 10 gal!

 

[bettabub]

woah 6 I thought I could only have 3-4 at the max.

thanx,
Tom

i think 4 is the min together, i could be wrong about the 6!!!

I think 4 is the max for that size tank.
3 might even be a bit better.

I would go 6 in a heavily plant tank with a lot of hidey holes. Just keep a watchful eye on the girls.

ok....thanx I'm going to set up the 10gal. tonight and let it run for a while and then add the females, buy some plants later that week and add them to the tank.


I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to add the bettas.

Plus i cant find a good place to buy crown tails......wish me luck.


Thanx,
Tom

usually, when buying from breeders you have to buy online.

they usually sell the fish rather cheap but then shipping is around 30 bucks
