    Looking good Ruby!!! I appreciate you sharing your experiences with us. The sorority is running strong. Would have never believed it could be done until I saw you do it. You are a true gangsta

    I've got 6 females in a 10 gallon and they are doing great after following your instructions for floating. Can I add one more? Just rescued her and she's a little aggressive.
    Thank you

      I've had more than 10 together in a 10 gallon, the key being the setup... so why not try?? Overstocking is also a common practice in the hobby for aggressive fish since it causes a lot of distraction. 🙃 Float the new one in something clear and let the others approach her. Leave her there for a few hours, but keep checking back to see if her behavior has changed at all. If not, carry on what you were doing. Some take longer than others, but the longer she's left unable to bully them, the less aggressive she'll end up when you let her go. It's alright to do this as long as you need to. Good luck!

      Can you recommend a good company that makes bug bites. Should it be flakes or pellets?
      Thank you

      Ice done both as long as it has no vegetable matter. I've mostly used hikari micro pellets, Bug Bites is its own company I think

    how do you feel about adding baby girls to an established sorority tank? I'm growing out a 37 gal that I'd like to start with 10 babies, and I'm just thinking ahead to down the road when they're bigger- can I keep adding babies, or do I need to try and match the size of the girls already in the tank?

      You can do it at your own risk, but a lot end up being male in those cases

    Betta fish get some pretty misguided rules attached to them due to the inexperience of the owners that care for them for instance I have a Betta Sorority/ community tank, in which I keep my five betta females, of multiple sizes, with a 12 fish School of Cardinal Tetras, in my 20 gallon standard, and everyone gets along and they do just fine it's because if you're going to attempt this and do it successfully you have to have the experience to know that while betta fish are aggressive and territorial and you may get the tail swishing or chasing, every now and then as long as they have distractional tankmates that break up too much interaction between them a better sorority tank can be just fine, and you can call me Ace the advocate of the betta case, lol
