	Aggression
Nick Fish Addict 33 Posts: 553 Kudos: 668 Votes: 509 Registered: 09-Aug-2004	Well let's start with what size tank are they in now? If it's big enough maybe a divider is the way to go. As far as controlling the aggression, I'm not sure that would be possible as some female Bettas are more sociable than others. The 2 you had housed in the tank before might have tolerated each other, but another female might not like having a tankmate too much. Last edited by Jessnick at 11-Apr-2005 17:31

As this will cause her to think she is in a new environment and cause her to drop the aggressiveness. However, it may cause just the opposite effect and the new betta may become the aggressor. But it's probably worth the try. Jim Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. -- Mark Twain
