Best Answer

The smallest tank you can breed a betta in has to be at least 5 gallons. 10 gallons is the best though :)

Beta's have been breed in smaller tanks, though. My moms betas bred in a three gallon tank, even though she wasn't intending to breed them. However, out of that bach, only three fry survived.

Also, you don't want to fill the tank all the way. Spawning tanks should be filled to only three to five inches. It makes it easier on the male to keep the fry in the bubble nest, and it can make spawning itself quicker on the male and female.

1 gallon tank what type of fish can you put in it?

A 1 gallon tank could have one betta fish, but you will need to be diligent about changing the water on a regular basis. The smallest tank that should be used, even for a betta, is a 2.5 gallon tank as it at least gives the fish swimming room.

What kind of fish will be easy to breed and will get along with your other fish if you have a 10-gallon aquarium with a betta angelfish molly sepae tetra and a cleaner?

You don't! What you do is get a 55 gallon tank because angelfish won't be happy in a 10 gallon tank, and then you take the betta out of the tank (it will fight with your other fish) and just get more mollies and put lots of hiding places in the tank so the babies will live.
