That's great!!!! Hee Hee.
I used to have a couple males in community tanks. This was back in the beginning when I was upgrading and changing tanks around. I had an aggressive male that flared at everything! Even plants :icon_eek: He tried to get the other fish in the tank, but was never a problem because they were too fast for him. After he realized this, he didn't even attempt to get anybody anymore and lived peacfully with them minding his own business.
I had a calm male in a community tank and he was much like my female betta. His favorite buddies in the tank were a school of corydoras! Ya know, the wackey, bumbling cories I mentioned before :icon_roll. He followed them everywhere and would only break apart to get some air, eagerly returning to his bottom buddies.
If my husband would have agreed to three tanks I'd still have them both. But, we had to choose between them since I could only have one tank. I sure miss them. Man were they beautiful! I had to put them in ginat betta bowls and I hated cleaning those things! I am so serious about clean water I replaced the water every 2 days. That was a royal PITA so I gave them to the LFS owner when I came back from a vacation (he took care of my fish while I was gone) and he really liked them in his office, so I told him to just keep them. The reason why we chose the female over the boys was simply because she was already in the big tank. Since that was her home, and it was the boys tanks that had to be gone, and they were moved to bowls, I felt it wouldn't be right to kick her out just because she wasn't as pretty as them. Now she is my favorite fish! 2 years is such a short life. I look for her every morning hoping to see her blowing me kisses
She is an old lady now.
