	Female Betta Question
Aqua Newbie n MS Hobbyist Posts: 102 Votes: 1 Registered: 01-Jan-2006	I currently have 1 male Betta in a 3 gallon bowfront Eclipse tank and he seems to be as happy as can be. I'd like to get some female Bettas and put them in a matching tank. Would 2 female Bettas in a 3 gallon be overcrowded? I guess my next choice of tank (if I were to go with 2 females) would be a 6 gallon of a similar style and design.
