three female bettas and...?
three females bettas yes usually. however they should have a good amount of plants and proper space. ex, don't shove three in a half gallon bowl with no places t hide. a 5 gallon with a few silk plants would work great for 3 females. don't add any males though, males and females should only be kept together during bredding.

It depends on your tank size and what you have in it. I keep a tank of females and have not had any problems. You need a decent sized aquarium and LOTS of planting etc so that the fish can establish personal areas.
There will be some fighting at first as they establish who is the boss. If it gets too rough, put the bully in a breeding trap within the tank for a 24 hour time out.
It works better if you put female siblings in together as they are already used to each other.
Make sure you are 100% positive that you have females because pet stores WILL sell you a male plakat as a female and 2 males will fight until someone is dead.

You would need a bigger tank for the 3 female bettas and you should not have any problems with the three female bettas attcking echother. Now on the other hand you would not want to put two males in the tank they will fight to the death and you donot want that. Beacuse I have two male bettas that I want to breed to a feamle betta. So I hope you chose the right answer to your question. Beacuse I think bettas make a great pet to. By the way you can by a double betta tank at walmart and so if you would like to see them flare their fins at eachother they have a little clear plastic window they can see through without having to kill eachother.

Do you mean 3 females and one male? IMO depends on the size of your tank. I have 2 females and a male Betta in my community tank (35 gallons) and they do fine. They also did well in my 20 gallon tank with lots of plants and hiding places. But anything smaller I wouldn't advise it. Most people say to never put males with females except during breeding, but I haven't had any problems. Females don't fight like the males do although they will establish a pecking order. Do a web search, there is alot of info on Betta's.

I'm assuming you mean put 3 females in one tank?
They may or may not be agressive. Doubtful they will kill eachother. Female bettas can make good community tank mates but older ones can be more agressive. When you put them in watch them carefully over the next few hours/days. There will be some fighting to establish order but it should be fine overall.

Yes, you can. Just like any fish you want to make sure they have enough room to feel comfortable. Crowding any fish will make them kill each other.

3 is the right # that they won't fight. 2 will kill each other.

You can put them together. Only the males are agressive towards one another.
