So. We got two bettas today, both girls. The lady in the store said two's FINE to have together and that the tank we were talking about? the 1.25 gallon? was the PERFECT size for two.

Maybe you can and I'm all wet, but someone saying you can put two bettas in a tank together - well, you'd better have a goddamn big tank. My dad had a pair of piranha in a tank once, but it was a HUGE tank, and their natural territory sizes were about half the tank size or something - I remember that he said that they would patrol the centreline of the tank but they very rarely rumbled. And when someone says something that wrong, I sort of wonder if they know anything they're talking about.

But I did have a few betta's in the past: 1 male and 5 females.
You can house females together with no problem if the tank is big enough, but I guess that goes for all fish. Males will fight till death.
I have to say, I never had any trouble with my group of betta's, they never fought ^_^ ... never reproduced either :-S
