Question
Right now i have a Lavender colored female betta and a red male betta and they are in seperate bowls now but i have a five and a ten gallon tank i could use when they are ready to breed. I wanted to get some information on the breeding I want to make sure everything is set up right and how i should set it all up and what i need for the tank so i can be prepared.
I was wondering how to set up for breeding your betta. Like what is the best tank to use? How much space do the babies need? How long do you keep the male in with the babies? Can the babies grow healthy in a tank without the male? How long does it take for the male and the female to get ready and what food do they need?

Sinceraly,
