A divider is put into a beta fish tank when there is more than one male in the tank. Male betas will fight until there is only one left alive, so the divider stops them from killing each other.

Can two male betta fish be in a divided tank?

I think that they will fight. Well, if the divider is clear, like glass, then they will fight. Betta fish are also called Siamese Fighting Fish, and will attack the same gender. If the divider is dark and you can't see through the other side then I think they will be fine and not hurt themselves slamming into glass. If you want to have fun with them, put a mirror on the tank and watch them slam into the wall. Don't do that too long, or they can get hurt. I hope I helped!


Can you put 2 female betta fish in a 1 gallon fish tank together without a divider?

No. The tank is not large enough to house two female bettas. The basic fish keeping rule is "1 inch of fish needs 1 Gallon of water". A female Betta grows to around 1.5 inches so you would need at least a 3 gallon tank to house the 2 Bettas properly.
