I'm looking for input on this subject. I want to start one in a 20 high and I'm wondering how many bettas I should get. Well, actually I want to know if this is a good idea in the first place and what everyone thinks of it. If anyone has a setup like this how do you like it?
I want to start a female betta sorority

Hi,
So your tank is 24"x12"x16"?
I am also working with my first sorority... but they are in a community tank.
Based on my research:
Bettas adjust best to company when they are getting a bigger tank. So be sure to add them all at the same time. (Perhaps after individual quarantine).
They each want a 5 gallon territory, and some of your size is added height... So three might be safer than four.
Break up line of sight.
Get young, small bettas - sisters if possible.

Also, each fish is unique. Some bettas are meaner than others.
I put mine together in isolation to see if I had any "firecrackers." I did, and so I kept three mellow ones.
