Best Answer

The female beta fish do not give birth and the males do all of the parenting. Simply, when a male is ready to reproduce he make a bubble nest at the top of the fish tank. Then then he searches out a female. When he finds her he wraps his body around hers so tightly that he squeezes out the eggs while fertilizing them at the same time. If the female lives after this, she is lucky to survive. Next, the male will carefully take one egg at a time and place a bubble in the nest. Finally he protects and tends to the nest until the fry hatch. After hatching the male needs to be removed from the tank because he will eat his own fry.

No, they can't but they care for the eggs in a bubble nest.

A bubble nest is where baby fry (baby fish) that are still in the eggs get fertilized in about 2 days.

Are guppies the only fish that gives birth?

Guppies are not the only fish, that give birth. Almost every kind of fish gives birth. However, guppies are pretty easy to give birth. Other fish, such as betta fish, most tropical fish, and angelfish are rather hard to breed, because they are aggressive and will eat their own young. So, I suggest guppies if you want to breed fish.

If they get along, the female will lay eggs and the male will take care of them until they hatch. If the female is left in the same tank afterward though, she may try to eat the eggs and the male will fight her.
