I actually have a large sorority tank at home with tons of bettas (My last count was 12 females in a 35 gallon). Except for a few tail nips in the beginning, they get along very well. And you are right, they are some of the laziest fish I've ever seen! I have floating moss in both my tanks and...

I have a female betta in a 5 gallon tank; I have had her for approximately six months. She is in with an oto and two small community fish (I think they're called harlequin tets) but the tank is not overcrowded and the water is clean/changed frequently. She spends a great deal of time laying on...

I have a sorority tank at home with 10 female bettas. The fish have been added at two different times, so one group of them is about a year old and the other group is about 6 months old. All of the females in the year-old group are so full of eggs, they look like they are about to burst and...

Thanks for the help! One of the suggested ones is the one I have, so I'll see if I can get it on the cheap. I may try the foam block though, since my fish seem to hate current.

I recently moved into a new house and, in all the commotion, the filter intake tube cap to my five gallon FW tank went missing! I have been to every pet store in 20 miles of me and none of them have replacement caps. I've looked online, but so far haven't found one that fits my tube. The tank...
