Does a female betta get pregnant on there own?

Answer 1

Male is required. some info on bettas breeding: This Betta species is a Bubble-nest builder. There are many ways to set up a breeding aquarium for the pair, and not enough room to supply details on them all. There are two popular ways to breed the Siamese Fighting-fish- in an aquarium specially set for the pair, which should be at a volume of at least 20 liters (5.2 gallons), and the Thai-way, which uses large Plant-pots. In any of these ways, the fish must be conditioned well before introducing the pair. Conditioning is made by feeding the fish live or frozen foods about two to three times a day, and making frequent water changes. Conditioning should take about two weeks at least, and can take up to one month, depending on the food quality and water temperature. The breeding set-up, in both ways, should contain lots of hiding places for the female, and some floating plants for the male to build its nest. If floating plants aren't available, you can use a halved Styrofoam-cup. Water temperature at the breeding set-up should be in the range of 28-30oC (82.4-86oF/ 301-303oK), and it is advisable to place a tight fitting glass-cover on top, so that the air above water will be hot and humid. Using an aquarium, the female is usually placed in a clear chamber, so that the male can see her, but can't touch her. Once the male has built his bubble-nest, he will start courting the female.

Answer 2

It is possible for a female betta to produce eggs (which will show up as a slightly swollen abdomen) with no males present. Normally she will release the eggs when no male is available; they will not hatch without being fertilised. Don't be tempted to buy a male; this is normal, and adding a male will only result in a huge amount of fighting. Males and females cannot be kept together.
