Stress Stripes

[Nikki Tognetti]

I have five female bettas that I purchased this morning. 2 of them have stressed stripes. Now my 29 tank is fully cycled and the correct temperature for bettas 78-80. The stripes were there when I purchased them. The tank is planted all the way to the top with hiding logs for them to relax in without fear of being molested by the others. My question is will the stripes go away over time now that their living conditions is more betta friendly and appropriate?

Yes, the stripes will disappear after some time, and they have settled
I bought my female betta with light stress stripes, and they are gone now.
