I recently bought 2 glofish bettas a male and a female they have been getting along very well they stayed separate from each other for these past 2 weeks but I've noticed they are both near each other more but it seems like the female on is making more of the moves on the male and he doesn't do anything they don't fight each other but is it possible they can have babies and they are in a good size 3 gallon tank with all the stuff they need for it at good temperature rocks and lots of glow things to hide in please let me know your opinions thanksTracy Stafford says:

Truly amazing regardless of who bred these guys first. What needs to be done in the future is more wide spread publishing of these breeding methods in aquarium fish books instead of just publishing how to keep them alive in an aquarium.Sandra L Dimond says:
