Bettas (even females) can be very aggressive even with each other. They will constantly fight. You will need more then two in an aquarium with more room so that the strong one will not constantly beat up the same fish. You may want to consider a pair of killifish, which will do well with the same diet/care as bettas

Bettas are fighting fish. I would not put them in a tank together at all. They will eventually kill each other. I tried that and learned the hard way. Call a pet store and maybe they can help you better than me. Good luck
I won't put the 2 betta fish together, they will eventually kill eachother. They are fighting fish. I believe the males are worse than females. but ask a pet store just in case.
You can put as many females as you'd like together with each other. The nature of Beta males are to fight with others who get into their territories. The female may or may not kill a male if he approachs her to mate and she's not interested in him. Also, I once dated a guy who was an animal freak and he told me that you can put Betas together (he did) as long as the tank is large enough for each of them to have their own areas. Then they won't bother with each other. And just so that you know (if you don't already), the female Betas are very plain. I once had one I named Rainy Day Woman #12. Good luck!
u can put goldfish in there or tetras which u could probaqbly put more as they are very small, but remember u have to change the water at least once a week and why cant u buy a small filter with an airstone so they have some air. they r not that expensive better yet why dont u try to make friends with the fish people at ur local pet store and they can guide u in the right direction
Female bettas can go in the same tank without a problem. Bettas can live in the tank without air stones as they go to the top for oxygen so purchase two female fighting bettas. Or you could just have the one female and use that tank for breeding bettas. You cannot use air stones and the water level has to be much less. They are not live bearers -- they hatch from eggs and the male takes care of the eggs.
just dont put 2 bettas of the same gender in.
1 inch of fish per gallon of water
Note that males can't be kept with any betta male or female. Females can be kept 1 per 5-10 gallons. My females are moderately agressive toward each other. After the 1st they tend to start getting along. (Assuming there was enough space for the losers to hide out.) Also beware of putting the males in sight of a female tank. This will result in the females fighting it out. I discovered this after a move last week. After a minute of the boys flaring the girls were staging a cage match.
