	Bubbles the gurly beta
Sleepy Fingerling Posts: 31 Kudos: 37 Votes: 5 Registered: 06-Oct-2005	Hey all. I just got a new femaile split tail beta. She's reallllll cute. Currently i have her in a 1 gallon tank with an undergravel filter operating via airstone in tube. I was wondering if i could get her another female friend? I know betta bowls are about 1/3 the size of my tank, so is this doable? I think its probably not, but my bother thinks its a good idea. Let me know- Thanks!

Get a bigger bowl or just be happy with the one or get your bro a bowl of his own and a single fish For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
