So my roommate has a Betta fish, Jeffrey. Hes been blowing bubbles and she wanted to give him a female to mate with. She searched and the web said females with 1 male is fine. We end up buying 2. But the male keeps flaring his gills and almost nipping at the females. I thought it was strange so I googled and saw that mating can be violent and Betta should be kept separate regardless of sex since males can bully and bite females, but I've also seen the opposite recommendations.
Any ideas?
Could the bowl be small? Its probably 10" in diameter.
If they really should be separate, any ideas on ways to separate them (display wise)? We were thinking of getting a 20 gal tank or so and putting dividers in.
