Plant in layers
Combine tall background plants with broad leaves and sheltered spaces at different heights.

Their journey
From tiny fry to colorful female bettas, watch this group grow up side by side.
Give their next chapter a heavily planted home, stable water and daily care. Growing up together does not guarantee future compatibility.

Start with a heavily planted tank.
Dense planting gives female bettas places to rest, retreat and move out of sight. Prepare the habitat before introducing your group.
Combine tall background plants with broad leaves and sheltered spaces at different heights.
Use planted clusters and smooth hardscape to divide the tank into smaller, sheltered areas.
Keep swimming routes and access to the surface clear, even when planting densely.

Everyday care, made clearer
From water quality to feeding, plan for the needs of every fish in your sorority.
Start with a fully cycled, heated aquarium with gentle filtration, dense planting and clear access to the surface. Use plant groups to break sightlines, test the water regularly and make partial water changes as needed. Observe every fish daily and keep separate housing ready if aggression develops.
Choose a plant bundle for your aquariumโs footprint and the areas you want to plant. Package size labels describe the plant bundle, not a recommended fish count or minimum sorority tank size. Keep swimming routes and access to the surface clear as plants grow.
A practical target for female bettas is:
Use a reliable test kit and dechlorinated replacement water. Keep conditions stable, avoid sudden adjustments and check that any tank mates share the same temperature and water requirements. Live plants support the habitat but do not replace filtration, testing or water changes.
Sometimes, but guppies are not a guaranteed match. Their bright colors and flowing fins can attract chasing or nipping. Consider the temperament of each betta, the space available and both speciesโ water needs. Avoid adding guppies to a sorority that already shows aggression, and separate fish if harassment occurs.
Explore our guppy collection and compare individual care requirements before choosing tank mates.
Peaceful Corydoras can be an option in a spacious, stable aquarium. Choose a species suited to your tank temperature and keep an appropriate group of its own kind. Provide a smooth substrate, open bottom space and sinking food that reaches them. Watch for bettas blocking access to food or chasing them.
Shrimp may be hunted, especially small shrimp and babies. Dense moss and hiding places offer cover but cannot guarantee their safety. Check the temperature and water needs of the shrimp species, and choose a separate shrimp tank if protecting a breeding colony is your priority.
Prepare a cycled, heated quarantine tank and review the arrival instructions before opening the bags. Dim the lights and match the temperature using the method appropriate for the shipping bag. Gently transfer each fish into clean tank water and discard the shipping water.
For fish shipped over long distances, avoid prolonged drip acclimation in opened shipping water: accumulated ammonia can become more toxic after opening. If water chemistry differs greatly, ask us for advice before arrival. Observe new fish in quarantine before introducing them to the sorority.
Offer a quality betta pellet as the staple, with occasional frozen foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp for variety. Feed small portions once or twice daily, following the food label and adjusting to each fishโs size and body condition. Offer only what they eat within about two minutes and remove leftovers.
In a sorority, feed at more than one spot and check that shy fish get their share.
