I have a pure white female betta that seems to be acting a little differently to what I expected.
I was warned to get 3 females incase of any bickering and was told to expect a bit of chasing to begin with. But what has happened couldn't be any further from that. I noticed yesterday that the white female was "rubbing" against one of the others, and then swimming underneath it and going onto her side and bending so her mouth was touching the other bettas body. It's really strange. They were doing this for about 10 minutes.
Now this morning, you can't seperate them. It's like having a bunch of neon tetras. All 3 of them are following each other around the tank. When they do seperate, the white one tries to stay near the one it was doing the strange...thing to. They even go face to face with each other like they are kissing and stay motionless like that for a while. Absolutely no flaring or chasing or anything you'd consider to be bickering.
Is this normal behaviour for females?
I'm trying to get pictures up but my camara is really bad and you can't see them clearly.
