Default Betta question

What does your male think of her? Is there a big size difference between
them? you still have your male dont you. I have put a lot of bettas in the
tank with no quarantine, been fine so far. I did not know walmart kept their
females in bowls, petsmart puts their in tanks, but petco keep them in bowls
also.
she sounds pretty,
Nik



I just picked up a really nice light-turqouise female betta this pm.
She's about 1.25 inches and seems to being enjoying the new home from
the cramped little plastic bowl she was in at the Walmart store.

No quarantine took place...just slow acclimating her to the new water
and hope for the best. Not showing any signs of stress, finnage all
out on point, checking the 'hood out. Eating sun-dried shrimp as I
type this. Hoping for the best.

Hi Nikki..!..

I lost the male about a month ago. It developed a pine cone affect
where his scales jutted outward and he lost his color. He died in
quaratine. My guess was something intestinal.

So for now she's by herself. Once my platy babes are mature enough to
determine sex, I have a new neighbor that would like some. She wants to
start the hobby again (after coming over and seeing my tank all full of
life. =)

At present, the largest fish my 55 is a bala shark...he's growing like a
weed ..just under 4 inches. Doesn't bother a sole. So the babies
wonder all about the tank, from top to bottom, with no fear save man.
They're all under half an inch now.

If female bettas can be content living among their own sex, I'd be
content with just the females. Has anyone kept only female bettas for
long periods of time?
