Betta Fish Help?

I tried it, but my male killed the females every time. After the third time I gave up, I'd got attached to the females and getting it wrong ( after keeping and conditioning the girls) was so upsetting that I kept the last 2 in a planted community tank rather than try breeding them.
 
Eh I wouldn't recommend breeding them unless you're set up and prepared.
It helps to have a low water tank for them to go through the process in and to prep them both by feeding them live foods for a bit.
Not to mention the need to take care of all the fry, feed them their live food, then jar them all if you end up with mostly males.
 
I know Jenn, it was heartbreaking. I'd followed the step-by-step process, waited until the male (a lovely red/blue crowntail) was making nests, conditioned them with livefoods and he just killed the females straight away every time. I had a very good specialist aquarium shop helping me (they'd ordered the females in for me) and they were going to supply another male in case it was just that his aggression was too high. I just lost heart and decided to give up on breeding them, and enjoyed them just as pets
