The female betta fish is on the right, with more dull colors. If a female betta fish is responsive to a male betta fish's mating efforts, her colors can darken. She will typically be smaller than the male betta fish. Sorority Unlike male betta fish, female betta fish can live together comfortably in the same tank.
When they live together, the cohort is called a 'sorority'. Generally, a good number to keep together is female betta fish. Medications are available from pet stores. Bloating is seen in lots of different fish. The abdomen swells up, which can be a symptom of many things. It leads to further problems like breathing difficulties and a loss of appetite. Overfeeding is the usual cause. Try rationing their diet and watch for if the swelling goes down.
These will require medications. If you are going to breed your fish , you will need a male to introduce to your female s. Mating is normally the only time you should mix the two sexes. Feed your Bettas small amounts of high-quality live foods times a day.
If a pair is interesting in each other, the female will darken, and the male will begin to build a bubble nest. Bubble nests are made at the surface using sticky bubbles covered in saliva. The female will inspect the nest, if she is impressed then the pair can start courting.
This will involve chasing and biting. If it gets too aggressive, you will have to separate them. The female will be flipped upside down. The male will wrap himself around her, fertilizing her eggs as she releases them. He will then take the eggs to the nest. Female Bettas are definitely easier to care for than males. This makes them more appealing to beginners who want to avoid extreme aggression. On the other hand, choosing females will mean you lose much of the colors that males possess.
The females are still beautiful fish though, and you can keep a sorority — you are not restricted to just one fish. They make a great alternative to the common males. Some searches lead me to conclude i had over-flared the pair, losing their interest in each other.. I kept a male betta with a dwarf gourami before, and the dwarf gourami kept on nipping his tail on and on. I had to return the gourami. I am getting a 20 gallon tank and I want to keep 4 guppies 4 platies 4 neon tetras and 2 cory cat fish would this be to over stocker Thank You so much for helping.
After 24 hours usually the male will be bubble nesting and you can remove the separator. Please help, I have a female betta named Fred. And for a week now Fred has been swimming sideways and hanging at the bottom of the tank.
To no avail, Fred is not showing any interest in eating and is still burrowing herself at bottom of the tank. What can I do to save my fish? I have to disagree about female bettas being less colorful than the males, as I have a beautiful multi colored female and have seen others just as colorful as the males.
Maybe breeding has lead to brighter and bolder coloring in the females over time. None of the Bettas is noticeable aggresseive to the others, and they ignore the other fishes altotgether, but they certainly interact with each other! I do not particularly want them to breed as I doubt the fry would survive in a cummunity aquarium.
The females are very distincly different characters, one being much more excitable than the other. This fish is a keen jumper and has had to be rescued from the carpet; we keep a close eye on her when the lid is removed for feeding or other access. They are fascinating and entertaining fishes that cause no problems and are easy to feed and keep. It is vital to provide hiding places and separtate areas in the tank so that they can make territories; this paradoxically means that they spend more time in the open being entertaining, as the proximity of hidey holes and their own territories gives them confidence.
