Betta Sorority Tank Setup- Adding all my Bettas

[@Gibbon420]

I'll probably start with a single male betta tank, but I hope I can do a sorority one day, they're so cute!

[@notmehtacos3991]

Yeah I didn’t know a sorority wasnt beginner so when I got bettas I just did intense research and now I have 4 females together and they are chilling. Only one tries to jump and it’s only when it’s feeding time. But their names are Ziggy, Zara, Vanessa, and sweet pea

I got totally addicted to rescuing Bettas and was posting the videos on my social media and someone turned me on to this channel. I love it. I'm changing my channel from a guitar theme, to all aquarium adventures from now on.😅

[@katrinaabbott9726]

When I started my sorority tank I had my largest and smallest female square up and really fight it out for while. Of course I monitored all of this and made sure things didn't get to serious. But now they are like best buds, they still have moments where they can be a little nippy but for the most part they get along great. I have really enjoyed having these ladies and hope to get more in the future.

[@pnwbettas]

The “break in” period can be hard! But after that they seem to be pretty stable

[@lakwatsirongnegro673]

I have 8 females. Though they're siblings and been together since birth. And they're chillin with each other til' now.

I have my sorority girls all floating in their breeder boxes in their new home, they can see each other and they’ve gotten more comfortable seeing each other from the safety/confinement of their own boxes. They can now stare each other down without flaring 👍🏻 hope they all get along when I release them!

[@emmaolivia2010]

I done this with my male when adding him to my community tank, I put him in a breeding box to get him used to it 😊

[@hamsterexpert8114]

Wonderful betta sorority! I’ve been following your channel for a while and make sure to observe them carefully, I had six female bettas and I sadly ended up with four. They can randomly get aggressive and attack each other but with your planted tank I think they’ll be fine. Good luck!

[@pn5894]

I would never attempt a sorority but this tank is absolutely gorgeous and I love how much it grew in from the previous video!

Omg I found you on tiktok back then and watched your vids, but never thought you had a youtube channel!

[@jackforstudent8200]

i raised a lot (300-500)betta fishes before, females are not so agressive as males, if you have enough space, you need to feed them well, and enough grass , if they are hungry they will bite each other haha

[@TheSkyHive]

I just ordered my first BETTA from Betta Squad USA. i ordered a red,purple,and white DUMBO HALFMOON.... he will be going in a brand new 20 gallon with 6 pygmy corys, 10 multicolor shrimp, and 4 wild nerite snails. You are very easy on the eyes, plus you adore fishkeeping....needless to say I SUBBED!

[@kemare1983]

@@Northerngrown_southernplanted none gonna lie it's bit a small challenge . I started with one half moon and then added another and 2 more crown tails. Everyone gets along except the first crown tail who is very territorial and thinks the entire tank is hers 😂. Just flaring and some chasing around but she hasn't injured any other betta. I'm upgrading to a 20. Gallon planted so I can add two more bettas with more areas to hide

[@JIRG881107]

Hi there, I'm about to do a sorority tank as well, and I alrededor have a female betta, any suggestions when adding the other females?

My 40 gal breeder tank is being setup currently and i want at least 5 females in there, for a mini sorority. nice tanks super jelly!

[@larryhenry719]

I saw a video the other day and he had a heavy planted 40 gal sorority with 2 males and everything looked peaceful

[@pnwbettas]

First off that’s not a sorority. It’s choosing to put bettas together. A sorority is only female bettas. Second, that is only adding unnecessary risk. Studies have shown some benefit to communally housing females, but NOT males.

[@tommyrickman4711]

You make tik toks right? Ive seen them but now you're popping up on my yt! Love it

How many bettas would u recommend for a 20 gallon

[@troublingleaf]

Curiosity here, have you bred them a lot? I'm only asking because I've just done my second spawn, I saw plenty of eggs getting released, but I can see none in the bubble nest... I'm now stuck wondering if dad ate the eggs. He does seem to be keeping a close eye on the nest so hopefully it's just because he's built such a huge nest that I can't see them. I remember the first time I bred a different male who built a tiny little nest, but the eggs were very obvious...

Hi, I just found your video & learned a lot. Would like to know what the floating plants are in the first tank, they have lovely long roots. Please take a minute to answer, so many don't bother.

Do you have 2 heaters in the tank? I keep a 29 gallon in my basement and it’s pretty cold was wondering if I should have 2 aswell

[@pnwbettas]

It depends. Sometimes I’ll throw an extra in or use one with higher wattage if the tank isn’t at the right temp. Just go based off a thermometer

[@jennifer21842]

Hello...I saw your male from the above shot where he was bent in a s-shape. I rescued a betta female from Petco and she has the same shape to her body. I have her in my quarantine tank right now. She has long stringy poop and doesn't use her back end at all to swim. Her body from above is an S-curve. When she rests her side fins, her tail end will immediately float her to the surface. She will then be vertical(face down)until she swims back down. She is very alert and eating great. What would you recommend? I have seen lots of videos about peas? General cure? Any advice would be great!!

[@pnwbettas]

So the S shape normally is a sign of organ damage, and very common in dropsy. White stringy poo is a sign of internal parasites. What I did for him was a small hospital setup (5 gal bucket, half filled). I used a small sponge filter and heater and I medicated the water and did 100% water changes every day. General cure is what you want for internal parasites, and please don’t feed peas. Such a myth when it comes to bettas. They are obligate carnivores and can’t even digest plant matter. For bloating and swim bladder issues I would fast 2-3 days, let her poop. Or feed frozen daphina and do a few epsom salt baths. That can help with fluid retention and bloating.

No you shouldn’t house a pair. The reason groups *sometimes* work is due to there being larger numbers to even out their aggression. But in a pair they can target the other fish.

[@hannahgoodwin7114]

i think it really depends on the betta’s aggressiveness. my halfmoon lives with a school of guppies and he’s fine. sometimes they get competitive over food but that’s it. i also attempted to add a molly in with my veil tail, but the molly actually ended up being aggressive towards my betta, who’s an old man. so it just depends on your gosh! test it out, see what works. but make sure to have a plan for the guppies or mollies just in case it doesn’t work out.

You also may not be able to see it in this video but there’s also just a hole in the wall somewhere 😂 I am moving soon and will be setting up a new fish room. In that one it’s an actual bedroom and will be insulated, allowing me to use a space heater to heat the tanks
