did you intend to breed them? males and females shouldnt be put together
because females can easily kill males or vice versa. only after a period of
conditioning should you put them together and then u have to remove the
female after the mating is done and you need atleast a 10 gallon tank to
breed them in. www.bettatalk.com or www.bettastarz.com explains the
spawning process better.
