WOW. Well I certainly wouldn't recommend it, but it sure sounds
romantic. :-P

Keep a close eye out for signs of nipping or stress. If they DO mate,
your male could get nasty and aggressive toward the female and
potentially hurt her if he feels the eggs are threatened.

I would label this one as: "Kids, don't try this at home. John D.
Goulden is a professional working in a closed course...yadda yadda"
Post a photo if you can. I'd love to see it.



What are you not recommending, the housing a female/s with a male or being
that
it's a 2 1/2g and he has a pair in that?
I ask because it's not too clear.


He has them in a divided 10 gallon (originally), no?


Originally, I do not know.
As of now, the original poster has them in a 2 1/2g that was separated, the
female jumped over the divider and they have been living peaceful with each
other in such a small space (a bit rare, but not unheard of). Also, no spawning
behavior (which is a good thing). However, I did recommend if they were going
to keep them living together as tank mates to uprage to a 10g at least.
Some Bettas just get along with certain individual Bettas better than others
do.
I've had many that would bicker constantly, and others that got along so
swimmingly, that when separated they became quite depressed.
