I think it should be 10-20 gallons.



You can breed Bettas in a tank as small as 5 gallons, however, if you use a 20 gallon long, you can leave the fry in the same tank until they need to be jarred.

No tank is ever filled to the brim so a 5 gallon tank will only hold about 4 gallons when occupied. At 1 inch of fish per gallon of water you could have 2 adult female Bettas in there provided it was set up and filtered properly and you had a few growing plants in which they can hide.

Five gallons is too small to house two bettas. A ten to fifteen gallon tank would be perfect for breeding. If you cannot purchase a bigger tank, then I recommend only buying one betta.

What kind of fish will be easy to breed and will get along with your other fish if you have a 10-gallon aquarium with a betta angelfish molly sepae tetra and a cleaner?

You don't! What you do is get a 55 gallon tank because angelfish won't be happy in a 10 gallon tank, and then you take the betta out of the tank (it will fight with your other fish) and just get more mollies and put lots of hiding places in the tank so the babies will live.

Can you put 2 female betta fish in a 1 gallon fish tank together without a divider?

No. The tank is not large enough to house two female bettas. The basic fish keeping rule is "1 inch of fish needs 1 Gallon of water". A female Betta grows to around 1.5 inches so you would need at least a 3 gallon tank to house the 2 Bettas properly.
