Stocking ideas for 65, 55, 20's, and 10

IDK if any else mentiones it already, but I would not advise keeping that many female bettas together, even the females can get aggressive to eachother, especially if they don't have a lot of space.

Yup, I did.

The 6th tank needs to be heavily planted in order for the sorority to work. Bettas establish pecking/ranking orders so it may be unlikely for some to survive if the alpha female happens to be overdominant.

Okay, I won't get a yellow cichlid then.

I've been reading up on betta sororities for months. At first I decided not to have one because I was scared about the fighting, but then I was reading how successful they can be as long as you do it right and it's just so tempting. You're actually supposed to overcrowd for sororities and have at the very least, 6 bettas. a 20g works best if it has at least 10. Any less than that and the aggression isn't spread out enough, in most cases. The more, the better. And the more spots for them to hide (even if it looks a bit crowded) and a heavily plant tank is best too. I'll have tanks to put them in in case of having to separate them and I'll keep an eye on them to watch for fighting.
