dreamweaver8891 Big Fish Posts: 320 Kudos: 533 Votes: 79 Registered: 25-Apr-2004  | Congratulations! I have several females bettas too - including two Crowntails - and find them to a be a VERY lovely addition to my tank! I know that the general belief is that Male Bettas are highly prized, but females fall short.... but frankly, I find the females equal to the males.... All the different colors and personalities! Just out of curiousity, what type of tank(s) set up(s) do you have for your new additions? To thine own self be true... |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | yep that's y it is so hard to find females at lfs b/c they aren't popular as males. |

littlemousling  Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | I'm curious - why quarantine them if they're going into separate bowls? -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | b/c i learned the hard way never take chances and if i don't do it, it would mess up my routine. |

| littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | The routine, okay, but what's the chance? If the bettas are in separate bowls and you catch them by hand, there's no risk of anything spreading ... where keeping a group of females in one tank could lead to stress and nipping that could create disease. Is there something about your system I'm missing or ...? -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | first i don't touch my bettas.( sort of a little fear of mines.  o.k if it will make u feel better i will just put them in bowls.:%) |

| littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | No no, not at all, I'm just curious. If you use a communal net that definitely explains the quarantine. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
