It depends on your setup, really. If your 55g is super heavily planted like you mentioned, I'd say up to 30 females could work.


It's definitely a jungle in there now - heavily planted, I mean. My latest pic is a bit outdated, but I've done a fair bit of trimming and replanting since then, and ...

I've got a 55gallon/210litre tank with a ton of plants and overkill filtration - we're talking 4 times the necessary amount. I'll have 6 corys and a school of 15 espei rasboras in there too. Now, I've had my fair share of experience with bettas, currently keeping 7 girls in a 20 gallon tank and a ...

I've got experience breeding bettas, so I'm good on the breeding and raising side of things. But I'm looking for opinions on which female to pair with my halfmoon mustard gas male.

I've got a few options - I could try to find a mustard gas female, but they're pretty rare around here, or I could use ...

I've been reading online and there's a lot of info about how temperature and pH levels might influence the sex of baby fish.

I'm planning to breed my two betta fish - the male is a gorgeous long-finned pink and purple, while the female is mainly white with red accents on her fins. I'll take some ...
