I recently purchased a male & female Beta, and put them in a tank together. The first day everything seemed fine. They appeared to be somewhat agressive twards eachother, but it appered to be mostly chasing.
When I got home today, however, I noticed that what fins the Female had were all torn up. Now I know males tend to pick at fins of other fish, but is it normal for the male to do this to the female? I immedatly seperated them, but I was wondering if it's okay to put them together. Is this just a dominance activity or will the male continously go after the female???
I do have a tank divider, and will use it to seperate them if need be, but I just wanted to know for sure if my best bet is to keep them apart...
