[AquaticLife] Female Betta’s - Pushing My Luck?
Female betas are generally much less aggressive than males. You may be able to get away with adding another female, but, then again, you may not. You got your current two together, and they have established their places, and have a common understanding between them. You add another or more than one, you will upset the balance your current two have. How they would react would be just a guessing game. You may be OK, but you may also have a war on your hands.
If you do add more, this is how you should go about it. Get the fish you desire to add. Wait until nearly lights out, and then re-arrange the tank décor. When you are done, add the new fish, and they all will be so busy figuring out what is going on, they probably will not bother one another. Shortly after adding the new fish, and if results are favorable. It is time for lights out. This will calm the fish, and in the morning spend some time watching and you may well have a favorable outcome. There may well be some sparring, but, if it goes beyond that, it may well be time to end the experiment and tank the fish in separate living quarters.
