⚠️ Level: Medium — requires attention when setting up the aquarium.

The Female Betta Splendens has the same wide variety of colors as the male, but with shorter fins and a calmer temperament. Unlike males, females can sometimes be kept in a group (sorority), although this requires experience and a spacious aquarium with sufficient hiding places.

✂️ Care

Can be kept alone, or as a group of multiple females (sorority) in a spacious, well-planted aquarium with sufficient hiding places to mitigate internal hierarchy conflicts. Never put a female with a male — she will not survive.

🐠 Combination tip

Calmer than the male, but still best combined with peaceful, non-territorial species. Avoid slow or long-finned fish that could be seen as rivals.
