Female Bettas

[honeythorn]

I went to a huge Hollybush garden centre today with my brother , and they have a decent fish department so obviously I was looking round . I came across a tankfull of female bettas, and decided to have a group of five for my 12 gallon (overfiltered) :)

I've had to move my 4 male guppies into the 30 gal as I wasn't sure what their reaction would be, plus I didn't want to overstock too much, but I have left the 2 male endlers ( I cannot find any more of these!!! ) 9 pygmy cories and the applesnail in there.

Apart from 2 having very slightly tatty tails, they are all in good health and are very calm and inquisitive. 3 have a lot of red in their fins, one has yet to show proper colouring and still has a little striping, and the other has a beautiful blue wash when she catches the light. They LOVE algae tabs and have been cruising the tank with a lot of interest. I don't think they've ever seen so much greenery! :D
