Question
I just bought 2 female bettas and placed them in a small bowl
about 2.5 liters... they dont seem to be getting along well and i am
worried the less agressive one will die... what should i do any help
would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Answer
Hello Margret-

I would recommend separating the two as it is not uncommon for female bettas to kill each other. The tank is way too small for two bettas anyways. When keeping females together, each fish must have at least 1o liters to herself, meaning a 20 liter tank for two females.

Hope this is helpful.
