Female Betta need to be in groups of four or more. They are aggressive and if you only have two, they will likely kill each other. If you have enough of them, the aggression is spread out and they can be relatively healthy and happy.

It is only a myth that female bettas will not fight each other - they are very territorial and can be as aggressive as the males. One will try to dominate the other. Try introducing them after a water change, and try to put them in the tank as closely to the same time as possible, so they don't become too territorial. It is not recommended to put them in a group of three as two may team up and pick on the third fish.

If you notice them fighting, just create a water current manually, as this will discourage the behavior, and after two-three days they should get along fine.

Provide lots of hiding spots for them! This will allow them to hide and rest when they need to.

Never mix male and female Betta outside of breeding a pair. Also, never tank multiple males together because they will kill each other.

Can betta fish live with other betta fish for a long period of time?

Only female Bettas can be kept together. That too will only work if they are given reasonably roomy conditions and plenty of cover (plants) and hidey holes. Male betta fish can/ will fight to death if there is another male fish in the tank, a male will sometimes eat a female so your best bet is to have a single betta or a female and a female.
