In most cases it's the female. In odd cases it's possible to keep adult siblings in the same tank but you're much better off not risking it. [/font]

I think it just depends on the male bettas additude. Lisa

First when bettas fight wiether males fighting males or males fighting females they hardly DIE fighting. i have kept a male in with a couple of females. But what needs to be learned by SOME PEOPLE is that it u can't always trust what you read in books that bettas should be kept by themselves. It depends on the male. Some males are mild and others are aggressive.
