Interesting Betta females

Okay, so today i bough 4 females for my 60L tank. the one is white with a hint of pink or purple on her tail. the other 3 is brown with 2 black stripes on the body and then with red and blue fins. Two of them as been swimming together but it looks like they want to kiss and then the one goes off and they start over again..

What is this? are they going to attack each other or what?

Ile try and add some pictures if i catch them in the act again.:huh:

 

Sorry for the bad pix, they are just to fast. But here they are...

this is the one female
this is the white one
these are the two that does the kissing thing.

 

OH MY WORD! now i feel like a total noob! i see that the betta female hase these stripes on the side
:banghead:

 

Yep, you need more cover for them or else they will be very stressed. More cover and an extra girl, 5 is the minimum to keep relative peace in a tank. They will attack each other regardless but my girls did well, only fin nipping every couple of months.

 

thanx for the help...i bought all the girls at my LFS and they were all together...i am looking for some plants to cover up the tank...dont know what to add in the tank..but Ill go out and look for some ferns and something to fill it up...i want to add a few more girls....hot sure of how much i can add still

 

Where did you get them (pm me plz) I've been looking for some females in PTA east but no luck

 

Ok, if its only the females in the tank I would go max 8 of them. But first get more plants, they need caves or plants to hide in. They might not be aggressive at first but they will have some fighting. I had to swop out two girls who where to aggressive for the tank. They beat all the others up.

 

can i add some other small fish like neons and something like that? the tank has a few caves...

If you keep it with 5 girls (make the group up to 5 at least) You will be able to add 8 - 10 neons or cardinals depending on your filter.

 

i have a HOB filter that filter 300L per hour! i would like to add 4 females next month..and maby 8 neons..i do have 3 corrys in the tank atm.

 

so yesterday morning i woke up and as usual i fed my fish and looked around and wanted to feed the 3 corrys(1 big, 2small i added them in the female tank) that i have added the previous day! i only found 2, the big a small one...the small one wasnt doing to good so i added him into the other tank (with male and 3 other corrys) so that he might survive...but this morning i didnt see the small one..i dont know if my male ate him...and if the females ate the other small one. is it possible?

 

How old is your tank ? Has it been cycled ?

 

my tank is about a week old! and it has been cycled...

 

A tank needs more than 1 week to cycle. I think thats what happened

 

So when i just came back from church i found that 2 of my girls were sucked up by my filter and the one died..the HOB filters cap came off and they got sucked in..

@Franna - the tank is cycled...2 of corry just disappeared. they did not die...and they were in 2 separate tanks.

 

Maybe the cat caught them.

:bigsmile:

 

HAhahaha...if a cat comes in this room of mine...ill kick it like a "straf skop" haha.

 

the other female that was trapped in the filter has lost her eye, this is so sad to me..cant believe that in 2 hours i lost one and injured another...not cool.

 

so the other female died about 20 min ago...looked like the filter did a number on her...RIB
