Female Koi Betta
Lately, the female koi bettas have been getting as much attention as their longer-fin partners. Female bettas, unlike males, can be placed together. In fact, a group of female bettas is called a sorority. Not sure which one; Kappa Kappa Gamma probably. The female koi betta is as appealing as the male, not just for its more gentle disposition, but this variation also offers vivid koi colors. These colorful bettas make a pretty harem. Buy four!

I bought four female koi bettas and they’ve been getting along perfectly. They’re colorful and calm, which is great for a beginner aquarium. No aggression or stress signs so far.
Piers Carr –
The colors are stunning and they don’t fight like male bettas do. I’m happy with the group setup and the peaceful environment they create.

After trying male bettas that were aggressive, I switched to females. They coexist well and add a lot of visual appeal to the tank.
