Maggie Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Gouramis seem to like it alot warmer (80-ish) than my new emerald babies (70-75), so I'm considering something more compatible as a centerpiece. What about 4 female betta fish? Tank seems kind of big (45 gal) for just one male, and the females are also quite striking to me! Suggestions/advice welcome!

Saltinthedesert Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) My understanding is that Bettas are consistently territorial and shouldn’t be kept with others, especially other Bettas, but you can keep females in a “sorority tank” if they get along. What are you hoping for the centerpiece? Size? Colorful? Where in the water column? Edited October 18, 2020 by Saltinthedesert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any size as long as its pretry, peaceful, likes low 70s for water temp, and won't breed. I like the idea of a female betta sorority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ellsworth Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 You could have the Emerald Rasbora near the bottom and do some clown killifish up top. They should be ok in a cooler tank. You might want a few floating plants though. A school of longfin whiteclouds or golden whiteclouds would look pretty neat in an unheated tank. Some danios should work pretty good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
