Do male and female betta get along?

Question

Do male and female betta fight each other?

Answer 1

they fight all the time exept during mating periods FOOL.

Answer 2

I usually fatten up the female before moving her in with the male. With the present of a female betta, the male will immediately start building a bubble nest and occasionally check with the female to make sure she is receptive of him.
As the male betta starts building the bubble nest, I would recommend dropping the water level in the tank as well as reduce the aggitation in the water. The water aggitation will destroy the bubble nest the male is trying to build. Dropping the water level helps betta retrieve the eggs as they are heavier than water. The eggs need to be suspended in the bubble nest for them to hatch. It is also helpful to increase the water temperature.
When the female is ready, she will join the male below the bubble nest and start the embracing. The male will wrap himself around the female as she lays the eggs. As soon as the eggs are released, the male is retreived the sinking eggs and spit them out into the bubble nest. This process will repeat itself will the female is done. After breeding is completed, carefully remove the female from the tank or the male will be aggressive with her to the point of killing the female. Leave the male in the tank as he will continue to attend the eggs and the nest. Slowly increase the tank water back to 3/4 of it normal volume. Make sure to keep a lid on the tank as baby betta are prone to cold air as they develop the labyrinth (a special air breathing organ).
All immature bettas look just like a female betta. Once it reaches sexual maturity, the longer fintage will develop on the males only.

Answer 3

You can put a single betta in a tank with other fish EXCEPT gourami as they are closely related and gouramis will kill bettas! Males and Females cannot be together for an extended period except to mate.

And it is B E T T A

Answer 4

yes, they could fight eachother to the death, so I wouldn't recomend it. If you want to mate them, place two different aqariums right next to eachother so they can see eachother, then they will get in the mood. The male will puff up to impress the female.

Answer 5

Betta Fish prefer to be by themselves. they only get together to breed.

Answer 6

(I'm guessing you're talking about beta fish.)

I had some in my aquarium about 16 years ago and did not have any problem with them fighting each other. They were actually quite peaceful and enjoyable to watch.

Answer 7

betta are solitary fish except for breeding periods

Answer 8

they get along until the female has babies then if you dont separate them the female will eat the male and her babies.

Answer 9

Yes, they will fight each other.

Answer 10

My friend had betas and they didn't get along (they hurt eachother)
