4redstar, if you're trying to prove that bettas can spawn in less than the suggested tank size, you're way late. It has already been proven by some very successful people. These are the same people who will tell you why it is NOT a good idea. Just like stated above, you're fry are going to be limited on space, thus killing one another so that the strongest/fittest survive. It will inhibit your growth rates also. So instead of trying to 'prove' something, why not enjoy your betta and strive for improving; don't go backwards.

i aint all that strapped for cash either. what do i do? rob people for bigger tanks?

[bettalvr]

My suggestion, wait to breed bettas (or anything for that matter) until you have knowledge, time, and sufficient funds.

i agree bettalvr, 4redsta you really should wait to breed until you can afford the appropriate things for your bettas to breed in, otherwise you will have a very low sucess rate / survival rate... the tank is probably too small for one betta let alone a whole spawn.
