should i put my 2 female betas together2007-11-24 23:40:17

Male bettas are naturally very aggressive, and will even attack females if their living space is too small.

As far as the females - yes, they can be kept together if they are given enough space. This means they CANNOT be kept together if they are in a goldfish bowl or anything smaller than five gallons.

It would be best to keep them separate now, though, especially since one of them is in such a bad condition. The healthier fish could stress her out, causing death.

It sounds like it may be too late for one of your females - please always research pets before buying them and putting them in unsuitable environments.

Males should never be with other males and should only be with females for a very short time when they are breeding. Since you only have 2 females I wouldn't put them together, one will always pick on the other especially in a small tank. Females can be together though, most people that keep them have no less then 5 and in nothing smaller then a 10 gallon tank with lots of plants and other hiding spots

Here is a website that shows pics of a sorority tank and that it can be done if the tank is set up right. http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/9/316/?p.
