How long can my Betta fish last in the container that the store gave me it has air holes in the top I am driving home for 6 hours on Fall Break and that's the easiest way to transport him I think?

As long as it is not in there for a long time. Try to keep the water from sloshing around and if it sinks to the bottom and doesn't move that means it is probably scared or doesn't like it.

That depends on the Betta fish. If it's just a bit of a nuisance, Some time in it a separate container could stop this problem. But if your betta is so aggressive, so hostile, it seriously injures the other fish in the community, than you have no choice but to buy an Breeder Box and keep the betta in there. Or buy a separate tank for the betta entirely. A Fightn' Fish Fact: Female Betta fish can be aggressive too. It's just less likely.
How come when you tried to breed your female betta and your male betta and they just act like the other betta wasnt there?
Probably, your bettas were not ready. Remeber that in betta breeding both can be injured or die, so i would do extensive research before attempting it. To try again, put the female in a plastic container and float it in the male's tank, until he builds a good bubble nest. then put them together. if either get injured too much, separate them.
