Years ago I placed one Male and three female Bettas into a small pond that I wasn't using. It had become a mosquito hang out.
My wife spotted some much unloved Bettas at a pet store. So I bought them instead of guppies.
Fast forward a few months and my wife is now laying in the dirt, scooping up beautiful little baby Bettas with a net. Dozens of them.
Eventually we gave the adults and babies away.
I was always under the belief that the males MUST BE removed at once or they'll fight to death.
Now I know that that simply isn't the case. Not with ample room.
Now I have a 1,750 gallon pond that will be vacant this Sunday and I want to raise and keep Bettas out there.
Have any of you done this?.
I'll have very little surface agitation and a lot of shade.
I'm thinking I'll need a lot of plants?
I really don't know.
Thanks for your thoughts.
