First off,You need more tetras. but as for your betta breeding. Its a difficult process. First you'll need these supplies:

For you spawning tank:



1. Heater

2. Air Pump

3. Air Control Gang Valves

4. Airline tubing.

5. Air Stone

6. Lee's dual action sponge filter. (small)

7. Easy to read thermometer.

8. Plenty of plants. (I prefer Java Moss).

9. 2 x 5"- 6" planters. 10. Glass lantern chimney.

You will need at least a 5gallon tank for the breeding the bettas in. Then you must buy a tank depending on how many fry you will get will propably range from a 20gallon-50gallon tank, of course must be heated and filtered. After a month or 2 you will need to seperate the males from females, also called sexing. I cant tell you anymore since I dont know much anyways so I'll leave you there.

if you breed to fighters which are the same colour, do the fry come out the same colours as the parents or different?

 

[Styx]

Unless you know what colors their parents and grandparents were, then no there is no guarantee, the fry could turn out to be any color.

You need to know if the parents are carrying recessive genes or not.
