I don't think you need pets. Get some toys to play with.

Since you said that he ate his fry, I guess they were already free swimming
As soon as the fry is free swimming you have to take out the male and raise the you yourself
BUT DON'T KILL YOUR BETTA BECAUSE OF THAT

eatting the fry isnt always the males faul in away.
Males will sometimes eat the fry if their is a hidden problem, like illness or something. Remmber that they can sense what we cant.
While yes he could be new to breeding and ate the eggs, remember that before you get angery it could be for reasons that would be best.
Jut because u had an unsuccessful spawn doesnt mean you should eliminate males. or females for that matter.
if he is just a young male, then it will come in experience, or maybe there is a problem on your part. based on the tank water, tank, and se-up.

no definitely don't kill him. and beta's have eggs and then hatch. mot fish lay eggs but a few give live birth. most fish will also eat there fry, (babies) when they have them. a few watch after there eggs or event there fry even after they hatch like some form of cichlids.

Don't kill him, that's just what Bettas do. They eat their young and all of the young should not be contained in the same tank.

dont kill him this is pretty normal behaver...if you want the fry to survive it's really is best to put them into a seperate tank as eggs

It's nature. You should have expected it. Don't kill your betta.

the only reasons he could have ate his eggs is that you must have starteled him which gave him the idea you were threatining him in a way so thats why he ate them and also it is normal.

don't kill him!
some fish are known to have no parental instinct.
just separte the babies from the adult so he can't get to them.
