How many female betta fish can i put in one bowl or tank?

Question

i have a female betta fish thats about to lay eggs and i need to know if i can put a few of her daughters in with her ( when their able to swim on their own).

Answer 1

The only thing that should be put in a bowl is Rice Crispies..or Coco Pebbles....putting a fish in a bowl makes an unhappy sick fish, stick with a tank, if you want more than 1 female betta in a tank, you will need at least a 10-20 gallon tank.  

Answer 2

for female betta, minimum 4, more are better depends on your tank size (1 foot tank can house 8 female bettas). but must be the similar size and pls provide hiding place (driftwood, rocks, plants) as they can be quite aggresive sometime, but will not be as aggresive as male.

it is not advisable to put mom and daughter together as mom can be aggressive towards smaller daughter.

when your betta couple mate, after the egg laying process, no more 'dancing together' and the fertilized eggs are placed on the bubble nest, you should remove the female and let only male to look after the eggs. after mating the male will become aggressive towards the female. once the babies can swim freely, you should move the male.

spawning tank should be relatively larger than usuall-nano-tank for adult fish so that the water quality could be easily maintained. fed the babies with just a little bit of egg yolk and 'green water'.

good luck.      

Answer 3

Female Betta's can live with other females and do fine. Just wait until the baby females are big enough so she cannot eat them. When they get big enough they will be fine. You can put as many females with each other as you want just don't overcrowd the tank.

Answer 4

You are in luck...i am an expert and renowned breeder of betta fish... after she has kids... it help to put in a couple (2-3) other females, even know though it sounds wrong..thy get protective of their new "pack" or, friends.
