Wildbetta said:She'll be settling in. Also, I'd watch that Grey and Blue CT. I don't know how big she is but I see no eggspot and she looks almost identical to a "female" someone on a betta group I'm on bought which turned into an underdeveloped male. Just a warning, might be nothing but just a warningAlso, I'd not add any more females to the tank - 10 gallons isn't ideally big enough for 5 female let alone any more. Just all advice, not trying to say "don't ever keep betta's" or "that grey and blue CT is male" just warnings and advice
I disagree with this statement. Normally on stocking I would agree but with female bettas in a sorority -- they work better a little "crowded" compared to other fish and situations. A 10 gallon with just females and ghost shrimp could easily handle around 8 or so females. From personal experience, my sororities always worked better "crowded" and I seen less fin/scale damage since no one female could really be singled out with so many of them there. Just a personal observation and meaning no disrespect to your advice. (there have been a little too many...dirt slinging...on here lately so wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstood.)
I would agree that females normally do betta(
Edit: I was told 6-8 females in a 15 gallon and up to a max of 7 in a 2x1x1ft tank. These were at different times but here's the thread where I asked about the 15 gallon.
