So I bought a male and female betta fish and put them together in a 1 gallon aquarium tank. The male seems to open his gills (flaps, IDK) to intimidate the other fish! I am assuming thats what he is doing? Is this ok or should I only have 1 fish in there?
 
pleasee take out the female the male is preparing to attack. do you want your female to be attacked and eaten to death!? ALWAYS keep a male betta singular unless he's in a large tank with dark-colored bottom dwellers. or you could get a tank divider for the 2; then the 2 bettas would have their own places but still be next to eachother.
 
wow do research lil buddy. take the male out. males only get along with females when they are ready to breed. which you can tell when the female has two white stripes of white scales going horizontally down her sides. also when she has a lil white dot under her belly by her but area.

if you breed them you should know the MALE takes care of the babies. research.

but for now separate them.
 
Separate them IMMEDIATELY. Male and female should be kept separately unless you are planning on breeding them, which takes a lot of research and planning.
 
okay get one of those fish out of there quick! One of them must be the same gender as the other one. You cannot put Beta fish of the same gender in the same tank or even where they can see each other because Beta Fish fight and then get stressed out. If Beta Fish get too stressed out they can die.
 
Okay, first off a one gallon tank is only barely enough for one fish.

Second, male and female bettas should not be kept together. The male is just flaring at her right now but soon enough he will try to kill her to keep her out of his territory. Males and females are only put together during breeding and that is done under intense supervision and in no less than a 10 gallon tank. The pair has to be conditioned for breeding and the female must be removed immediately after or the male will kill her defending his nest.

Remove the male immediately and get him his own tank of at least 2.5 gallons. The female will do better than he will in a one gallon tank. Make sure you do 100% water changes at least once per week to remove harmful ammonia.
