Male and Female Betta2007-11-24 23:38:55

I have in a ten gallon tank. 1 male betta, 1 female betta, 3 cory catfish, 5 neon tetras and 15 ghost shrimp at any given time. I have about 13 live plants, a large piece of coral, and small drift wood. The fish are never crowded, shrimp keep the place clean. catfish eat what the others miss. and my plants balance nitrogen fairly well.. I have read all these posts that you can not put a male and a felmale together. MIne never seem to fight. swim in close proximitry to one another. Mate, (although the eggs never seem hatch just disapear) they swim togethor.

With all this talk to males beign so aggresive. The only thing aggresive he seems to do is knock the snails off of the plants. (buts thats just ammusing)

Answers:

All fish are different, each has their own personality I guess. I've had combinations that weren't supposed to work and they did. For the most part, male bettas are aggressive towards other bettas, just a rule of thumb. Always the exception to the rule, like yours lol. Generally that's not the case though.

Is this a QUESTION??

.

..you have coral in a freshwater tank?? Thought they lived in saltwater!

As a rule, if you want the pair to mate, you will need to put them together in a smaller container. The precaution is that you DON'T want to put the female in until the male shows definite signs of building a bubble nest.

Male bettas are aggressive throuwards other male better not againts other fish, i am guessing your catfish are eating the eggs at night while the tank is sleep.

Thats pretty good if they don't fight. Everytime I tried to put 2 together they always fought. Now I have them in two separate tanks and if I even put the tanks next to eachother their gulls puff out like crazy. I'm surprised that people are able to breed them! I wonder why they hate their own kind so much? Weird!

If you really want to breed them, you have to isolate them, and put several females in with one male.
