Question
i was just wondering if there was some way to encourage more males to come out of a spawn..? as a friend of mine ended up with 50 females and 2 males... i am more in it for the males. Thanks for your time.

Answer
Hi Alex,
There is sadly no way to have more male bettas in a drop.Males are certanly the more desirable of the 2 genders. In nature there is suppost to be more females  than males because the males compete for the females. So with more females, the males feel more contint.
Hope This Helps
