No they'll fight, the babies will be eaten/die, and he females will shred each other AND the male. Also they will fight during breeding.

Ok, no need for any of these rude posts. The person obviously does not know alot about betta fish and their nature...

They are very aggressive and will kill eachother. Not a smart idea. :3

If you understand the importance of knowing all the info on breeding, and if you have the right supplies, then go for it. Only one male can be kept in a tank, or one female. One betta per tank unless you have a 20 gallon or so with a divider.

A Soroity for a 20 gallon is ok, though I think 7 female is a bit too much (Correct me if I'm wrong) I would go with 5 females in a 20 gallon. Lots of hiding spots and plants are needed.

If you were to do only female Bettas I'd go for more like 10 or 11 in a 20 gal.in a 10 gal you can do 4-7 females... I did a lot of reasearch on this at one point in time. You need a lot of hiding places (especially at the surface) Having more females is better because it spreads out the aggession. I'd do 1 Betta for every 2 gallons of water.

Just as a warning now, some females aren't cut out for the sorority life and have to be either returned or housed in a seperate tank. Good luck, but there is a lot more than it seems to a sorority...

EDIIT: if you divide, leave at least 10 gallons, and have at least 4 girls...
