(late reply i know but) guppies and bettas do not mix. Please show me otherwise anyone who disagrees. I've had female bettas in the past munch on poorl guppies. They kept disappearing and I was blaming it on angelfish until I saw a female betta swimming around with the rear end of a guppy sticking out of her mouth. Greedy girl.
Good video. I love Betta's. I also have a sorority tank with 10 female betta (20 gallon long) pretty heavily planted and lots of hiding spaces. They fought for the first week and now you only see one with a ripped fin rarely. I also have one juvenile platy and a rubber lip (AKA bulldog) Pleco in there with them. They all get along fine.
I think you might need more hiding places for your girls to retreat to. I know my girls love a more heavily planted tank and there is much less fighting with more hiding spots :)
Some of the females fins are ripped, is it because they're fighting?
I also have a female tank with 5 of them (check out my video). Sometimes I see a ripped fin, but it's not as much as I see in yours. I don't mean no offense!!
female bettas generally fight to sort out their hierarchy. if the females are about the same size and in a 10g they may fight a little to determine who is boss. just need to watch them so that nothing serious happens. usually things quiet down in a few days. any good conditioner works just fine. i use tetra Aquasafe and tetra EasyBalance. thnx for the questions. JIM
The tank is strictly for my girls. The cories are some of my fry that I am using to keep tank clean and size them til they are bigger and can go in other tanks. Thnx for the kind words. JIM
Thanx for the comment. The tank is a 20g long. The fins on the red are my fault. I had a brain fart when introing the girls...seems a few had attitude issues so took a few days for them to work things out. Now everyone has their own niche and all is well. The cories are some I bought thru aquabid so they're company for the girls til they get a bit bigger.
cool tank setup

So girl Bettas don't fight? because I have a 10g tank and 2 girls and wanted them to live in possible?
also can you use the water conditioner that you use for regular fresh water fish because I ran out of the Betta kind.

@KashikyoOokami you need more than 2 females. In a 10 gallon I'd stick with 5 or 6 females. With two they cannot create an pecking order.

@KashikyoOokami No they don't if they are in groups of 5+. You'd need 3 more.

Beautiful bettas, it's too bad about the red cambodian's fins though :( I have one that looks identical to her, fins and all.
How big is the tank? Cute cories too :D
