Bettas Living With Each Other

[Neal]

Is it possible to keep bettas (males and females) together that have all been born together and never seperated? Or will there still be fighting between rival males and will the males still not be able to live with the females apart from when breeding? I would really like this question answered by someone who has a great experience with bettas, as I need to know if I want to breed bettas if I need to get lots of tanks, ect...

It really all depends on the fish, some are more aggresive than others. I would doubt it though

In general, you definitely need lots of jars for all of the babies as soon as they reach 8-12 weeks. A few of my males were ok in the grow-out after 2 months, but by 3 months they were WAAY too aggressive! You can also expect lots of spawning in-tank between brothers and sisters if kept together too long. 20+ of my females were even too aggressive to be in the grow-out!
