Question

Can you put a girl and a girl betta together????

Answer 1

Sure, i dont see why not.

Answer 2

ok this is what you CAN do and what do CAN NOT do:

male & male= NO...males are aggressive and they will fight...

female & male= SOMETIMES (depending on fish A.K.A their attitude)

female & female= yea sure...but you should add more than two. like a group beacuse they like making hyarchys. so they will fight (sometimes intill one of them dies) to see who will be the leader...and when adding more than one female betta...add LOTS of hiding places cause they will pick on one of the females that are weak and so you need lots of hiding places...

i hope that helped!!! :D

Answer 3

yes

but they hae been known to nip each other causing infection

Answer 4

from what i have heard, you cant put any bettas together. they get too violent period.

do not recommend keeping 2 females together. Some people can, and have done this.



This does not mean that it's going to work out for everyone, or even most people. It probably won't, because Bettas have a natural drive to be dominant with their own kind.



Groups of females will form a pecking order to diffuse the aggressions. Two fish cannot have a pecking order.

When introducing females, it is best to introduce them in neutral territory.



If you have one female who has been in the tank for some time, then she will view it as her territory, and any newcomer will be trespassing.

This will likely not be taken lightly.



If you do want to introduce another female into a tank with another one, it may help to remove the first one, and even to rearrange the plants and decorations so that she doesn't realize it's her territory.



Both females will then be on new ground, and neither will have more of a right to it than the other. No defensiveness.

Horizontal lines running down the sides of a betta mean that it is experiencing stress. Stress can be caused by any number of reasons, including water quality and fear. If one female is constantly showing horizontal stripes, this may be an indication that the other female/s is/are picking on her.



Vertical stripes, also known as bars, can be a sign of readiness to breed or one of aggression/dominance. Females can be aggressive with males as well as females, and it is natural for a female to flare at a male.

She may even bar up out of aggression, which is why vertical bars are only one of several signs of readiness to breed with a male. If your female becomes barred when facing another female, it does not mean that she wants to breed with that female.

It is a sign to "stay away."



Sometimes, a fight may not break out, at least not at first. The females may "pose" for one another as an indication of how "tough" they are. One may attempt to make the other back down.



If one fish is willing to let the other be dominant, fighting may be avoided. Even if one doesn't fight, the dominant betta may assert her dominance over the other from time to time to test her.



hope this helped

*miranda, do you HAVE bettas? because i do, and we have 2 and they do nothing but fight. the 3rd git killed. yes it was copied but i also do have experience

Answer 5

Yes, for some reason in almost every animal breeds, girls and girls get along better than boys and boys. So yes, the 2 girl bettas will be fine. The person above me is WRONG! Two girls are the best combination, you should never put 2 males together. Plus, the girls can't make more betta fish. That was also copied from a website...

Hope this helped=) Good luck!

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Sure you can, but I would  rather put a male and a female betta together. The male will bring some color and when they form a pair they are friends for life forming a very strong bond when breeding. When they breed it is very interesting-lots of fun

Answer 8

You can, but im warning you that They might fight.

So if one ends up dead you know not to do it again, It really depends (oddly) on the fish.

Mine ate mine to pieces, and they were both female.

Answer 9

yes males will kill other males and females! But the females can coexist with each other

Answer 10

Yeah because males will fight a lot of times

Answer 11

Female betta's should only be put together in groups of 5 or more in a large tank.  They will fight otherwise and there is always one who will be the dominant fish.  Putting 2 together usually leads to death for one.
