A male betta does not get pregnant. There is a rather complicated mating net that is set up in the tank, holding one male and one female. I am not positive about the mating process, but I THINK that the female lays eggs, then the male fertilizes them, and then he guards the fertilized eggs until hatching time. Then, I believe the male must be removed from the mating net, and his job is finished. (If I remember correctly, he will eat the little "fry" as they dart about in the net. I think the female will, too.) You may be thinking that the male betta was pregnant because of the way he guards the eggs after the female has laid them. Now, you need to go to the betta web site and check on all this information. I may have made one or two misstatements, and the pros can set you straight. I think there is a good website located at www.bettatalk.com There are several good betta web sites, and you should look them up on your search engine.
