Betta are individuals the same way old south american cichlids are.
thats how i see it anyway
kinda like adding a big oscar to your red devil tank
sure it usually works
but each time is different
and often it equals death
I try seperate my females from males in upturned clean soft drink bottles
this lets me see reactions (colour changes, fin raises and snapping) before
they can get at each other.
good way to see which of several chicks ya dude likes without risking deaths
and injurys
espec when some of me female deltas are worth a substantial amount of money!

You forgot the part about it depending on the individual personality of
each fish.
There are females from time to time that cannot be housed with certain
females, or some that can't be housed with any female.
This needs to be said *each* time.
It doesn't matter if you said it a month ago, or 20 minutes ago.
All Bettas are different and that needs to be said each time. You
should always have a back plan as well if it doesn't turn out the way
you want it to.
It's also so much easier when the females are spawn siblings.
Males things so much easier, as their hierarchy was figured out long
ago when they were babies.
