Betta sororities.
These are my betta girls.
Rosie âŹď¸
And Tiny âŹď¸
Both of them are kept alone. They usually both have their own tank. Usually. Iâve had an emergency, one of Dadâs cichlids got injured so I had to take him to recover. Since I donât want Tiny to share a tank with a way bigger cichlid, I decided to take her to Rosieâs tank until the cichlid is able to get back to the cichlid tank. Of course Iâve seperated both betta girls with a wall (you can see it in the background of Tinyâs picture).
When I moved the tank a bit, the wall slipped just a little bit - and I didnât see it. So Rosie went through the small space and attacked Tiny immediately.
âŹď¸ This is Tiny after being attacked. Barely able to swim, her fins ripped. Of course I seperated them directly when I saw what happened and gladly Tiny recovered within a few days. Still I feel terrible because she got injured because of MY mistake. Itâs not Rosieâs fault, thatâs how bettas behave with each other.
Please, please never put two or more bettas together. Not even females. Itâs pure stress for them and it can end worse than my case. So please do your bettas a favor and keep them in their very own tank. Sororities will never work, even though it âlooks coolâ and your bettas might seem to âget along very goodâ.
