So I've tried to put three male bettas in the same tank:
I've done my research and have personally seen smaller tanks with less plants and driftwood where the bettas cohabitated extremely well.
I have another tank at my house with 5 bettas, but 4 are female and 1 male. Not an ounce of aggression. Zero. They've been together a year now with not even a fin torn.
Some background information:
48 gallon
Canister Eheim Ecco 60
Fluval C3
Blackwater
Tons of driftwood
CO2 injection
Tons of plants and java moss
6 neons
2 blue rams
PH 6.2
I tried to mimic the biotope where bettas live in the wild.
Neons are doing great as are blue rams.
Bettas on the other hand were fighting non-stop. Not with the neons and rams, but with each other. I've put them on different ends of the tank, but it's not working.
It seemed to have calmed down a little but their fins are torn pretty bad.
Any advice?
