Originally Answered: How many days will a female betta fish mate again? I recommend that the female is only breed one time. But if you want to breed the female again, I suggest you let the female’s fin heal completely and let the female rest for two weeks usually.
Q. What happens if you put a male and female betta together?
Keeping a male and a female betta fish in the same tank together can be risky. New owners should avoid pairing these fish if they are inexperienced with housing aggressive fish varieties together. When placed in the same tank, your Betta pair may start fighting immediately.

Q. How do you take care of a female betta after breeding?
When your female recovers, she may help your male put the eggs in the nest. However, some females will eat the eggs, so watch carefully and remove her if she is. I recommend taking her out of the tank as soon as she has woken up, because your male will now see her as a threat and could try to kill her.
Q. Do all female bettas have egg spots?
The Egg Spot This spot is factually the ovipositor which is used to lay eggs and probably the one sure way to distinguish female betta from a male. The egg spot will generally not be prominent in young bettas and might be hard to identify but as the fish grows old, it will become larger and more noticeable.
Q. Do female bettas eat their eggs?
The male will embrace the female, she will release eggs, and he will fertilize them. In captivity, breeders remove the female after the spawning process is complete because they tend to eat their eggs. The male will stay with the eggs to take care of them.
Q. Can female bettas lay eggs without male?
While it is possible for female betta fish to lay eggs without a male being present, the eggs will not be able to hatch, and will often rot, leading to ammonia and nitrite spikes. Healthy female bettas will always be carrying some eggs, and if a male is not present, they will constantly reabsorb and recreate eggs.
Q. Will a male betta fish kill its babies?
When the spawning is complete the female will look for a place to hide. At this point in time she is to be taken out of the tank or else the male can kill her. The male will then pick up the eggs and ‘blow’ them into the nest and thereafter he will guard them until they hatch.
Q. When should I remove my male betta?
You can expect the fry to stay in the bubbles with their tail hanging down for 2-3 days until they’re ready to swim horizontally by around day 4. As soon as the fry are free swimming, the male will need to be removed.
Q. Do baby bettas fight?
No! If you put 2 baby bettas together, they might not fight at first, but as they get older, they will kill eachother.
Q. How fast do baby bettas grow?
If fed properly, young bettas will grow quickly and they should be ready to accept larger foods after three to four days.
Q. Can I have 2 bettas together?
FAQ – Can two betta fish live in the same tank? No, particularly when talking about two male betta fish. You should not have more than one male betta in the same tank. Betta fish are very territorial, not only will the two males end up fighting but the fact they are sharing the same space will stress your betta.
