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,

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?

I have kept females by them self and they been fine. I had one of my females
in with some gouramis and loaches for quite some time, a couple of weeks ago
I added a male and they seem fine together. I also have a ten gl divided
three ways with Plexiglas with a male in one part, a female in another and a
betta fry who is about half way grown in the other part.
sorry about your male, I had the same thing happen to my female.
I am thinking about setting up a all shark tank, think that will be neat, I
have a RTS who don't seem to like no fish at all, I read the other day that
RTS are minnows (sp?) I did not know that.
What color is your platy that had babies, I have a set of sunset and a set
of micky mouse, i found a baby from the sunset in the tank one day and you
can tell what it is because its orange, but the following week i seen a lot
of babies, i dipped them out and they are not that same color so i am
thinking they are from the blue platy, but they have no color yet they dont
look much different then the fancy guppy fry right now. What did your babies
look like the first week?
