Betta Question
Wally,
There are several schools of thought on this and I researched it quite thoroughly before deciding to attempt a female betta community. I understand there are risks, especially of seemingly random killing - but I decided to give it a go anyway. The way my tank is setup, there are several similar small territories separated by dense plants that the girls can choose to inhabit. As I had them in there before it was so densely planted, I can say that the little territories make a world of difference - they really do like having their personal space.
