I've got two male Betta's in my 55. I grew up with the 2nd Golden rule: 1 Betta per tank. I went to my LFS and spoke to Yoda (the fish guru). He stated that Betta's aren't mean, simply territorial... given enough space, they'll be fine. This man knows more about fish than anybody I know, so I trusted him and got TWO males.
I was scared.
I put them in my tank. One on the left, the other on the right. Needles to say, after living in a shot glass, they were a little scared entering my 55. At one point, they were both hiding behind the same plant, with one fish butted up against the other.
No confrontation.
Has anybody successfully done this before? I've got other tanks to move them if I need to, but they seem to get along just fine...
