Betta fish in the video are from the same brood and have been raised together as juveniles. The more aggressive male betta fish were separated from females. I have 12 double tail female betta fish out of which I picked up these 5 for a sorority tank. I built the tank around these guys. First I chose fish which are compatible with betta fish and then worked on a tank size which can accommodate all of them without the peace in the tank disrupted. I chose the tank under 20 gallon, added driftwood tied Anubias and Java Fern plants to it. I used white sand for tank bottom and on the side and back o the tank I added some plants. Plants on the sand started melting at first and now they are catching up well. I introduced Cherry barbs first as they were good choice in Betta fish tank, followed by Neon's both blue and black neon tetras, guppies and baby Chinese algae eater as I could not find a more compatible Siamese algae eater around me, I introduced all the Betta fish at the same time, the numbers of other fish did help as the Betta seemed more interested in them rather than trying to chase each other. Things seemed peaceful in the tank and then I added L.Gutea Loach and Albino cory catfish as they make good compatible tank mates for betta and nice bottom dwellers to help clean the tank.The first time I tried a sorority tank things went wrong as one female decided she wants all the tank for herself. However this time I made sure these fish are used to other fish in the tank and raised all of them as juveniles. I'll make few more changes to this tank very soon, I will add some floating plants, I avoided floating plants now as I know female betta fish establish their territory towards the surface area and that might lead to aggression with other fish, this is what happened the first time I tried a sorority tank. So that is the story of this tank, in case you want to start a sorority tank the information below would help.
Sorority Tank size - 15 to 20 gallon
Tank decoration - Live plants, driftwood sponge filter or hang on back filter. I prefer adding floating plants last as the female betta fish would build a territory around the surface area under the floating plants and this should not happen at least until a hierarchy is established.
Betta fish tank mates which I think would work well with female betta fish as I have kept them in nano tanks before are, Harlequin rasbora, Zebra Danios, Neon tetras, Black neon tetra, Cory catfish, L. Guntea Loach. You can keep Siamese algae eater instead of Chinese algae eater as once they are fully grown they are aggressive. I used baby Chinese algae eater as Siamese algae eater was not available and I had to clear my algae problem from the tank ASAP.
Food in sorority tank, make sure you have both floating and sinking food, as bottom dwellers seldom come on top to eat. Make sure adequate food is given and uneaten food is removed. If you see a weak or stressed fish move it to a hospital tank.
Watch the betta fish in the sorority tank, first few weeks are crucial as this is when territory is established and you would see them flaring at each other. If you see any damaged fins move both the betta with damaged fins and the aggressive one into separate tanks. In case you are wondering whats a good Alpha female betta ,its the one that charges but does not continuously chase. They establish ranks and the ones usually challenging each other are 2 smaller females. All the best with your female betta fish sorority tank. If you have questions ask, I will try to answer it as soon as I can.
