Siamese Fighting Fish

[Kiwi Clint]

i read somewhere that it is okay to keep female siamese fighting fish (3 of them) in a community tank......is this true

Often people keep Female Fighters in tanks together yes as a soririty, seems popular. Its the males you want to avoid mixing. Females are generally better, however it may take a while for them all to settle. It depends on their personality aswell, some will be nippier than others whilst some might be quite shy. Part of the fun of them.

I would probably recommend a well planted tank for those.

I would recommend 5+ (to spread aggression), in a planted tank, which is at least 2*1*1 ft in size, preferably larger.

I have kept them with both before, but my females were docile.

as said they should be fine in groups of 5+ just beware that males slip though sometimes, 2 of my females turned out to be males (including the one in my avi <<---)
