Ever seen a female betta make a bubblenest? Is it possible?

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right. -

I believe so , thats what they look like to me too.Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

My daughters large female crowntail makes a bubblenest continuously, not certain if it is due to a lack of a male in the tank or perhaps she just doesn't want to be waiting to get rid of all those eggs..lolIn the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Can you keep a male and female betta together or will they fight to the deathComment

The male will constantly harrass her and eventually ehuast and kill her. I have heard of success in larger tanks with multiple females to diffuse the harassment (20+ gallon planted tanks)In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
