Hey this time i am really wanting to know. I am getting a 40Ltr tank and wish to buy 2 Females and 1 male.
How do i breed theese?
Is it easy?
 
Reasonably easy but expensive and time consuming, don't do it lightly.

Check out some of the betta forums on how to go about it, but be aware they can have hundreds of eggs and if your lucky they will all hatch, so what are you going to do with all the offspring ?

Check out your market before buying the fish.
 
Breeding Betta's is not like breeding livebears - you can't just get a two to one ratio and throw them in together. It has to be very well planned out. both male and female must be conditioned for a period of time etc. There's an article in "Pinned Topics"
Please research a lot before attempting.
 
I'll restate it, since it's a point that can't be stressed enough... Do not, under any circumstances, house a male with females long term. When breeding, they are only left in the tank together for an average of 2 days. Under most circumstances one will eventually kill the other if left together.
