No.

It is not just about "having lots of homes for the fry" - - you needs dozens to hundreds of rearing tanks. The offspring have to be raised individually.

Also, care should be put into breeding quality bettas so you do not wind up with mutts who are not worth much money - - most likely not even enough to cover the costs of breeding them!

Its possible as long as you do have a large tank for the fry, as soon as the males mature they will get aggressive towards one another! When introducing the female ensure there are lots and lots of hiding places for her as the male will chase her- which is all part of the courtship.

What do you know about breeding these fish it is kinda complicated and jenste is right you would need 80+ tanks some times it is only 70 fry but fuzznicky got at least 80 from her first time

Breeders will usually use large containers, such as gallon jars for the fry. This requires a room heated to a constant 80F, as well as frequent water changes for the fry. It's a sizable investment of space, time, and money to do it right.
