Default female betta with lateral lines down body...

||| I'm debating putting 1 female and 1 male*Bob* to see what they
||| do... in a 29g with 2 Kribs*non breeders*(he's gay)... I may not do
||| it, too time intensive, to laborious... Bob's been acting like he's
||| in the mood, and building nests everytime I turn around.... the
||| ADFs that are in with him, kinda look at him like he's dinner, but
||| their legs fit in his mouth quite easily... so I'm getting the idea
||| he's looking to move up from the condo(5g) to the chalet in the
||| mountains(29g planted)... we'll see...
||
|| The LFS person is unknowledgeable.
|| They obviously don't k now much about Bettas.
|| If you decide to house the male in the 29g with a lady.....I would
|| recommend adding at least a few ladies.
|| They (the females) will work out their hierarchy, and the male's
|| attention will be split up.
|| Now, remember, all Bettas are different and have individual
|| personalites.
|| Some males may be nippy or chase females at first, but do no real
|| harm. They usually settle quickly and ignore the girls.
|| Some females can be quite vicious and shred a male in not time.
|| So, when adding them....I would add them all the same day. That way
|| it is no one's territory.
|| (don't forget to quarantine the ladies first).

There really aren't many ppl that ARE knowledgeable about bettas... just you
and a few choice others... I picked up a book and quickly realized, there's
over 100 types of bettas... short finned, long bodied, not to mention the
ones I can't remember....

but anyway... I still have to research to find out, if my male is only
interested in certain 'looking' ladies... I wouldn't want to put a female in
there that he wouldn't be interested in... or am I off in la-la land?
