Can more than one female Betta live in the same tank? Also are they at all agressive to other fish and could they be in a tank with blue rams? So many questions, I know!

You can put female bettas together but they too can become aggressive like the males, but its not as likely.
Agreed.
Females can be kept together, but some will fight to death.
Lots of plants and hiding spaces seems to help with aggression IME.
I haven't kept females with Rams, but I have tried 3 different males abd had no problems.

I have a 10 gallon with 4 female bettas and 3 longfinned danios..(they got booted out of a tank I had to use to raise unexpected fry in)..Those four betta get along fine, but there was a 5th in there which didn't do well with the others..was too passive and wouldn't defend herself during the initial squabbles. I had to remove her.
You can put females together, but you need to watch them for awhile to see who does well and who doesn't. You will get nipped fins and bites at first, but once they get used to each other...and if they have enough room and things to hide around....they should settle down fine. I had a female blue ram in with a female betta for a short time...didn't work out very well, the female betta was too aggressive for the ram. In my minimal experience with rams...I have noticed it seems they are good at dishing it out, but not very good at taking it...lol....You could try it and see how they do, but have something to remove the ram to if you need to.

I have 2 female Bettas which i got from the same tank at my lfs 1 day apart when i got them home they lived peacefully in my 120g with the rest of my lot but when i had to get the tank repaired i seperated them into my smaller tanks, now after 2 weeks i decided to put them back together the only prob was that one had decided that the tank was hers and didnt appreciat her old friend intruding and ended up thrashing the living hell out of it suffice to say i had no other choice but to re-seperate them so i guess it all depends on how teratorial they are as to if they can co-exist
