    Some females are more agressive than their male counter parts, it's probably just a case of a bad matchup.

    Seperate them for a while and condition them.

    And try again, if it happens again, try another female.

    Bettas all have their own personality. Sometimes the females are more aggressive that the males, and will not tolerate the males. Generally she won't tolerate the females either. I bought 4 females from a LPS this weekend... 3 from one tank, and one was sitting in another tank at the LPS. I only realised when I got home why they had that female seperated form the rest..... she is VOES! SHe chases the other females constantly. I eventually took her our of quarantine and just put her into the community tank to let the other 3 have peace and quiet.

    Werner5 - the fins should take between 1 and 3 weeks dependant on the extent of the damage
