Hi, I m not guru, but I think bettas are loners. I used to have 2 bettas in separate tanks. one day, I realised one Bettas was missing when I was about to feed them. Then I realised that it jump into the other tank and they fight. The intruder seem intimidated and was hiding behind a rock. I from this, I concluded they fight when they meet in same tank.

You can keep only one male per tank. If you are planning to breed them, you can introduce a female, but once the eggs are laid, you have to remove the female

Yup they can jump!! its best to keep the water line 2 in below the top of the tank...even if you have only one tank, because sometimes they can be agitated and jump out
Luckily i didnt not fill it up fully.....hehehe...right now my betta have 2 tetra, 3 otto and 3 corys for company...thot of getting him a gf....hehehe....anyway...nice betta and nice betta tank u got there.....

What will happen if i let the female stay after she laid the egg?

Yes they can jump,my female betta jump out of the tank when being chased by the male betta.
The female betta will try to eat the eggs, and the male betta will protect the eggs by killing the female betta.
Ahh.... Ic ic... Alright then.... Alot to consider.... But... Different type of species won't be a problem right??

I guess I need to be safe adding another female to the tank.... So far my betta is quite calm....now really need to consider adding another female to the tank...

Did some reading online lately about betta cause I started keeping wild betta. It seems that show betta like the one you have are bred to such a state where they are aggressive towards own species, and as some suggested, breeders typically put the pair together just for breeding and remove immediately as there is a high chance they will kill one another.
If you really want to keep a pair together, your better opinion is to look for wild betta, although not as fabulous looking fins as those common available in LFS, they do have some pretty coloration.
Thanks Ingen... I prolly just get another smaller tank..... But not all lfs sells those wild betta right....

Try facebook group like Wild Betta World, there are some locals that may have some wild betta available.
Thanks Ingen.... Appreciate the input...

How big is your tank? It's not that easy to just put a female betta in the tank.. Chances are the male betta will show aggression and attack the female betta..

If you really want a group of bettas, females would be best. They may establish between the alpha and beta before living happily together with occasional bickers
