He will look after them as long as they are not independent. Once they are capable of feeding themselves and swim free of the nest as fast as he puts them back in there, they need to be separated from him before he eats them.

It depends on the gender of the fish. Two or more Male Betta fish will fight to the death.

A male and a female can sometimes be together if they are ready to breed and both fish accept each other. They should be separated after breeding.

Female Betta Fish can live together peacefully although they are not the most attractive fish like the males are, The males have long colorful fins and the females are usually just one color with small fins.
no the only fish they kill is each other you could put a male in with other types of fish with no problem but dont put 2 males together or with females but females you could have a couple of them with other fish or just all in one tank

No. Bettas are harmless. A male Betta will only fight with another male Betta. They are peacefull fish and usually slow moving. They tend to be picked on and fin nipped in community aquaria because they are so slow moving most of the time.

Male betas are aggressive towards other males. They will fight each other, and that could lead to death. You can have females in the same tank as males, however, they will most likely mate and hatch baby betas. You shouldn't breed any animal without knowledge and experience.
