You have two Bettas in the same tank? They are fighting. You can NOT keep a male Betta with a female Betta unless they are carefully conditioned for spawning or unless your tank is at least 30 gallons with heavy planting. They will continue to do this until one finally snaps and attacks the other one, leaving it open to infection, possibly death.

EDIT: They are called Siamese Fighting Fish, not Japanese...

They are fighting. In order to keep bettas together, you need a giant tank, with a lot of live and fake plants. Bettas are loners. The males are aggressive and the females can be pretty bad too. You should look into getting a new tank, Bettas do not need a lot of space and you can get a tank that has a divider in the middle that is less than twenty bucks designed just for bettas. I know petsmart carries them, petco should and even walmart may have some. You should hurry, or else you will get some torn fins. Remember these were called japanese fighting fish for a reason.

that lovable kissing and chasing is actual battling. Many species of fish lip-lock for the duration of a combat. Your fish are battling over dominance. adult males are fantastically territorial and this kissing and battling will proceed until one or the two fish are injured. Kissing Gouramis are enormous fish without exterior variations between genders. the two that combat are just about surely 2 adult males and could be separated. The smaller one ought to nicely be a third juvenile male. with a view to reproduce you could prefer to verify breeding pastime in spite of the undeniable fact that it is confusing in captivity, you could choose 2 person fish and a minimum of a 75-one hundred US gallon tank. (Kissing Gouramis get to twelve" long different than tails).

They could be getting ready to spawn because before they do, They fight a little bit, it's normal. If you want betta babies, I would keep them in the same tank for about an hour. ;)
