Breeding in community tank

[David1978]

I have 3 males and 16 females with glowlight tetras and cories in a 75 gallon tank. So far in 2 years I have had 1 baby born in my tank. Has anyone had any success breeding them in a community tank? I know I can set up another tank but that's not as cool. Any suggestions to up my chances?

I have 3 males and 16 females

What fish?

 

[David1978]

Betta splenda

That is not the correct way to keep Male Bettas,
Male Bettas are solitary fish and Best kept that way.

I can see a male tending his bubble nest with eggs in it killing rival males and any female that gets too close, or the male being killed.

This will end in disaster and I want no part of it.

I get that reaction a lot. The tank was set up in January 2016 and they were all supposed to be baby girls. Some turned out to be male and I didn't feel a need to separate them. Still dont. Its not necessarily a stocking I would recommend but its working for me.
