Question

how do betta fish mate?????? can they be putted together

Answer 1

Yes, but watch them carefully. If the male starts to attack her, don't let him kill her. That's why there are special breeding tanks with removable dividers. The last time I tried pairing two, the female actually attacked and bit off the tail of the male. I think you should try them when they are both a little older; don't breed two really young and energetic ones. Less damage for them both.

Ok..you need a big tank so you don't have to change the water because you can't really do that while there are eggs floating around. Maybe filtration; make sure it's not knocking the eggs out of the bubble nest on the surface. It is advisable by many that you remove the female, because they tend to eat the eggs. The males blow and maintain the bubble nest, as well as throw the eggs back up when they fall.

Answer 2

Despite common belief, pairing a mail and a female betta one on one generally doesn't work out. I recommend 3 females to one male. Remove the females after the eggs are laid.
