Hi everyone! It occurred to me while doing research that most wild betta species are not necessarily well suited for being kept in pairs or groups - either due to aggression issues (splendens complex...coccina and simorum complex bubblenesters are less aggressive and could conceivably be kept together long term, though the latter are quite large and would need a substantial tank) or incessant breeding (all mouthbrooders...this could also result in the male starving to death from the incessant mouthbrooding). Since I would still like to keep wild bettas of multiple complexes in the future, the most reasonable solution seems to be to keep them in a tank with a divider - perhaps a 10 gallon for smaller wilds (needless to say, larger species like Unimaculata would need something considerably larger). How would one make such a divider attractive? Perhaps by creating a moss wall or gluing small pebbles to the divider? Obviously both sides will need their own filter if I do anything to the divider. Thanks
