LOTS of greenery and a pair of bettas? :-)

I hope that comment was supposed to be a joke. Who would keep a pair
of male or female bettas in a small tank? Its not a good combo if you
want your fish to live.


Actually, 10 gallons works.

This was many moons ago, but my mom had a pair (a male and a female) in
a 10 gallon tank.

She had a LOT of live plants in there, (mostly Elodia) and the female
stayed in the plants until she got gravid.

The male blew a lovely bubble nest and we watched them go thru their
mating ritual. He wrapped himself around her to get her to release the
eggs while he released milt, then he picked up the eggs in his mouth and
blew them into the bubble nest.

I don't think I'd try to keep a pair in anything _smaller_ than a 10
gallon tho', no!

I've personally not tried it.

I just have a pretty red male in my bathroom in a 1.5 gallon tank with
an undergravel filter and a couple of mystery snails.
