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?


Absolutely.
Currently my 75g has only females.
After their initial bickering over the hierarchy, all is fine.
On occasion you may get 2 dominant females that neither will submit,
and one of them will need to find a new home.
This is all common when it comes to Bettas though.
When you have fish that need to push their weight around to find their
place, sometimes it can get nippy, or even a chunk of fin missing is
still normal.
Constant biting, no. Not normal and one is overly aggressive or just
can't stand that individual fish. They too have likes and dislikes.
I've specialized in these fish for 28 yrs and when it comes to them,
yes, I'd say I was an expert.
Once you really start to see their hierarchy, their body language,
etc....they make for quite interesting little fish.
I keep a rainbow of females in the 75g, and usually a resident male.
However, I have quite a bruiser of a female when it comes to the boys
and cannot house one in there now.
She's not even the alpha (the big boss) either. Just does not tolerate
a male at all.
Hey....what's a 30 liter in US gallons anyway?
Somebody tell me because I do not know the conversion.
