Can you put the female betta with the baby bettas after the male is removed?
No, she will eat them. The male should be removed as soon as the fry become free swimming - that's about two days after they hatch or four days after they are laid. Once you take out the male, start feeding the fry on vinegar eels and microworms. Any adult betta put in a tank with betta fry (even their own) will eat the fry.
What do you do if the bettas are eating the fry?
First, when your betta has the fry, you must split them up quickly. But in your case, it looks like you didn't separate them. If you didn't, its pretty much hopeless. Just let your betta finish eating the fry. next time though, split them up quickly. Some pet stores usually have nets you can use to move the fry away from their parents.Unfortunatly, in your case, there really isn't much that you can do at this point. Right after the fry are born, you must separate the fry from its parents. So for now, just let the betta eat the rest of the fry. The next time you consider breeding more bettas, separate the fry from its parents quickly. Most pet stores have betta fry nets so you can scoop the fry away from the mother. i hope this works next time!
