As with many animals, the female Betta fish are a little different to the males - they are sometimes just as impressive but are usually slighter and they have significantly tinier fins. They do not generally co-exist as well with males as one would expect other than during breeding even though they can however co-exist with one another in the same aquarium.
There are a few matters that must be considered when keeping multiple female bettas in the same aquarium. The first is to remember that female betta are not different to males males in that they will be predatory with each other until one is set up as the dominant one.
You ought to always buy females of 4 or even more: there are grounds for this. If you only have 2 females, you run the risk of one killing the other, but in congregations of 3 you then have the risk of two of them ganging on the 3rd. Competitive traits such as this are less probable with bigger groups, nevertheless there will be some fighting as the females establish the power structure of the group.
