Female Betta soroity

[Fish_lover]

So I was thinking of getting a 10 gallon and getting 6 female bettas , is that too much or is it good ? And some tips would be helpful


This is what I'm getting :

Grreat Choice™ 10 Gallon Aquarium Starter Kit : 29.99

Top Fin® Aquarium Thermometer Strips 2.79

6 female bettas : 6.93

Topfin@ aquarium gravel vacuum : 9.99

Aquarium salt : 4.49

You need a heater, and bettas aren't brackish or saltwater, so you don't need salt...

I also feel six bettas might be one too many, I dunno, I've never had a sorority before.

As previously stated Aq salt not needed unless you're treating for disease. I would fully cycle the tank using pure ammonia before adding fish. It'll be more iffy in a 10g IMO because theres less space for them to escape each other. You'll need LOTS & LOTS of plants to break line of sight & some caves for them to hide in. I have a sorority of 10 in a 46g, I don't think I'd do a sorority in anything smaller than a 20g.

Also, you MUST cycle it . There are two ways to do it, fish in or fish less. Here is a link for fish in: http://petfishclub.com/cycle-with-fish-fish-in-cycle/ And fish less: http://petfishclub.com/fishless-cycling-with-pure-ammonia/ I feel like a few websites could explain it more than me, LOL

I know , and I'm getting aqaurium salt for my other bettas too just in case so if something happens I don't have to rush to the petstore

Ohhhh.... Right...

Ohhhh.... Right...

Yep , I don't want any of my bettas passing away from me not being able to go to the store

Good plan. BTW, if any of the bettas try and kill each other, rehouse the one that's being aggressive.

Whatever you end up getting just make sure you can care for it properly!!

10 g tank is too small for a snake
