Starting a Betta Sorority

So my first project of the new year is actually getting my Betta tank set up. I have all my equipment now and all I need is to finish resealing my 50 gallon tank and buy more Bettas. At this stage I am still removing the old nasty silicone seams. I have been and will be using the method explained in this wonderful video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-gS7gp-ehM . SO helpful!
My next step after the tank is ready to to buy more beautiful fishies! :) I have 2 already and I'm going to get at least 4 more. Then I'll quarantine them for a month (probably with this method: http://www.femalebettafish.net/how-to-quarantine-betta-fish/ ) then they will be ready to be together, starting with the least aggressive.
I have read a lot about starting a Betta sorority but if anyone has any helpful tips or resources about starting Betta tanks or cycling fish tanks I would appreciate the input!
I'll also be updating as the process continues :)



October 2014 Update: I was unable to get a Betta sorority started. Turns out that's a lot of hard work and i have trouble enough keeping one Betta alive, much less a whole school of them.This isn't really a goal for me anymore at this point. I would rather spend my time on creating things than having another responsibility of something else to take care of.
