Best at between 78F and 80F. Above 80F the poor male is driven to distraction trying to keep his bubble nest together as the bubbles burst quicker in the warm conditions. Below 78F the ova take too long to develop so the male tends to loose interest and may well eat the ova or the developing fry.

Can you keep a male betta with a female betta for a long period of time with other fish?

No, you should never keep a male and female betta fish together for long time periods. They should only be put in the same tank for breeding purposes and then separated after.


Fertile Eggs But Bubble Nest Popped?

Provided you have a cover that fits reasonably well on your Betta breeding tank and the temperature is not over 80F, the Betta should be able to look after and repair the nest while the ova and the fry are developing. If you are not set up properly this time, you will just have to accept the loss and try again after a while during which you can bring the fish back up to breeding conditions and prepare the breeding set up correctly.


Do betta fish fight opposite sex?

A male Betta will attempt to kill any other Betta in its immediate vicinity. An adult female Betta would be courted and if she responds and breeds with him he will not kill her until after she has spawned. She should be removed from the breeding tank immediately after spawning has ceased.

Yes, females can be just as agressive, if not more aggressive, than the males. Although you should never keep the two bettas together, it has happened when breeding the fish.


Put a female betta and a male betta why they do not have baby?

Betta breeding can be difficult. It takes a lot of time and effort to successfully breed and raise the spawns. Before breeding you must do months of reasearch. Without proper conditioning the bettas will only fight instead of spawn.

The male will try to spawn with her. If she is not in breeding condition she needs to hide to stay alive.

Can you put a female and male Betta fish in the same tank or bowl or will they fight to death?

It's best to only put male and female betta fish in the same tank/bowl if you are breeding them. If they are not breeding and they still stay in the same area, the male would most likely attack the female, so keep the female away! Also, if you are breeding betta fish, make sure to remove the female betta after she lays her eggs, as the male will care for them and chase the female away.
