Re: male female questions
They were kept together only for the short time to breed.
both were in a 10g and the male built his nest while the female stayed inside a storm glass tube just to entice the male.
When it was done they were released but closely watched and when done the female is removed.
Kept together the male will constantly harass the female to death.700g Mini-Monster tank

Re: male female questions
i know nothing about bettas.i have 1 betta book,know your bettas by dr.gene lucas.pretty sure he is-was a betta guru.a quote from the breeding section,"neither the size of the breeding tank nor the water depth appears to be critical.i have successfully raised spawns in water depths ranging from 1-16 inches.most breeders use a 3 to 5 gallon tank".the way he did it,put the male in the tank,put the female in a jar inside the tank.when the male starts building the bubble nest ,you're on the way.good luck.

Re: male female questions
I have two tanks that contain both a male and female. One is a heavily planted 20gal and the other is 30 gal tank with broken pots and a few plants + some albino cories. I have seen no issues between the pairs. Occassionally the male will flare at the female but she stares him down and he swims away. I guess what I am saying is... it can be done.. but then again I have several tanks that aren't supposed to work out5.5 fw fluval chi - class N top bar snake chested endlers/ red marble bn/ 4 stripe RCS/ pumpkin shrimp
20 sw cube - a few damsels and a colony of bristleworms
29 fw - self cloning crayfish..which can't seem to clone haha
29 fw - mollies / albino bristlenose / ghost shrimp and snowball shrimp/ glo danios
29 fw - crs/ amano/tiger shrimp /assassins/ whiptails/ plants/ 3 emerald cories
55 fw - steatocranus casaurius (20ish)/ tetras/ rainbows/large Jack Dempsey
75 fw - large Jack Dempseys / pictus cat/ yoyo loach/ Red gippicep/ 10+" oscar/ parrot
