Can you put 2 female bettas in a 10 gal. tank with 1 male crowntail betta?

dont you have to keep bettas separte to get the bubble nest ?


got me all i know is a male betta in a 75 gal. full of platys (35-55) is pretty cool

 

[fishfood420]

that would be very cool

i'm pretty sure you'd have aggression issues. i'm not expert but that's what i've heard.

Don't put them together. The male will kill the females. The male will chase them either to breed or to chase them out his territory probably killing them in the process.

I agree, you can put two females together as long as they have caves and leaves to hide in. But unless your trying to spawn them thats a no-no (no two girls with one boy or one girl with one boy unless your planning to breed them) Betta tend to Kill the females especially if she isint receptive to him. Try using a divider to keep the girls away from the boy. I've seen girls be with a boy for a day or two the next she's dead.

As betta can be placed with certain tank mates( platies, tetras etc..), female bettas are not reccomended.

female bettas should be kept in groups of at least four if you are wanting to keep more than one, but your 10 gallon is not big enough for that
