Well first bettas don't get pregnate. Like most fish they lay eggs. This is normal for fish other than live bearers like molly, and guppy.

Second the female lays the eggs, but the male creates, tends to, and guard the bubble nest. The female must be removed as the male may kill her defending his nest. Female tend to eat their eggs.

Third you do realize that a successful mating will produce over 100 offspring who need special food, and housing. Again this is normal for most fish other than live bearers.

See the below link for details for successful breeding. It requires a lot of work, and research before you can breed bettas. Even then it generally ends in tears the first couple of attempts.

howdy, Do you have a male betta? woman betta have not got stay little ones. woman betta's are egg layers. and you've a male betta via fact he's the single that seems after the eggs and the little ones. the female has no longer something to do with the little ones. The male has to make a bubble nest and that's once you recognize that mating can initiate. the female lays her eggs interior the bubble nest and the male fertilizes them. The eggs stay in this nest until eventually beginning heavily dealt with via the father ( male betta ). woman and male won't be able to stay interior a similar fish tank in spite of the undeniable fact that. they'll kill one yet another or in basic terms one will proceed to exist. they are able to easily be at the same time for a quick time and that's throughout the time of mating in basic terms. Then as quickly as you notice that the eggs have been layed you're taking the female out via fact she will have the means to pass after the male like a mad chicken in revenge via fact the male is drained after making the bubble nest. So your woman would desire to be crammed with eggs yet she will have the means to no longer have little ones without a male and a bubble nest. sturdy luck with your betta and characteristic exciting and revel in you fish.

If you're willing to care for 20-100 baby bettas then breeding can be a lot of fun.

But you need to have a jar for each little male [and each female to increase the chance of them surviving]
And you need to change the water every day or two because in a small jar it gets dirty very quickly.
You'll need to raise baby brine shrimp to feed to them, or find a store that sells large amounts of frozen baby brine.
It'll take about six months to get all the babies large enough to sell to stores. So you really can't go away from home unless you have someone too feed all your baby bettas.
Then you need to find a store thats willing to buy them. Are they interested in the females?



But it's still fun, really!

its the male betta that will make a bubblenest to put the eggs in and after mating with the female he will start placing the eggs in the bubble nest and for the first few days he will protect them so if you want to breed your bettas... be sure to keep an eye on them and remove the female .... after a few days that the fry have hatched you need to remove the male so that he won't eat any of them.

You should go to this website and click on the link that says breeding at the bottom: http://www.flippersandfins.net/faq.htm but, as a warning betta can produce from 50 to 200 fry (estimate).

I think you should talk to a beta breeder,they are very aggressive towards each other look on the web for one, I know of one in Kentucky.

Stick her in a tank with a male. But only if you want to deal with the aftermath....
