Betta Fish Don’t Like Each Other
 |
This question comes from Jennifer
I have two female bettas named Snowdrop and Vienna, I put them in seperate tanks because I have heard one would bully the other. I had them for almost a year now and brought two more females, Cinnamon and HotHot along with a bigger bowl because I thought they could be friends. But something went wrong. Cinnamon and HotHot are younger and smaller than Snowy and Vienna and as a result they get bullied and they won’t eat their pellets, even their tail fins are damaged. Right now Vienna and Snowdrop are sharing the same bowl while Cinnamon and HotHot are in seperate containers. I am thinking of returning HotHot to Petco in exchange for a female cocktail betta to be tankmates with Vienna and Snowdrop.
Most of the time betta fish do not get along with each other. Sometimes females will, but the only time I have seen this work out good is when they are sisters. If you still would like to try to make them get along you can try to add a lot of hiding places and rearrange some of the decorations you have in your tank. Hope this helps.
Betta Fish are what I blog about.
