She isn't pregnant. Bettas are egg layers and they must be in the tank together and they male will build a nest of bubbles on the surface before they mate. After they do, the nest will have all the eggs in it. So don't worry, nothing will happen to your fish.

Like I said before..Betta's aren't livebearers and they don't lay eggs. So your fish isn't pregnant. The male and female have to be in the same tank and the male will wrap himself around her to squeeze the eggs out after he has made a bubble nest. I really wish people would research fish before they purchased them. It would save the person and the fish from so much stress.

Don't worry, they aren't pregnant. The male has to build a nest out of bubbles, and then eggs are layed. Just because a male and a female are next to each other doesn't mean that they are automatically going to become pregnant. Don't worry, she'll be fine. If she does have babies, just give them away. But for now, if you're still worried, put the male and female in seperate tanks. You're fine.

betta males make bubble nests for the eggs, just do a water change after she lays them and everything should be fine.

How do you know the fish is pregnant? If baby betta's arrive just bring them to the pet store or give them to friends. I would suggest having them in separate bowls.

They will be fine, it will be awhile before she actually has them they need to make a nest and a good habitat , you will have enough time to get the supplies!!!
