I have 6 betta fish, 3 girls and 3 boys, one of my girl Betta's i sure is full of eggs because well she is Very round and has bulges on her sides and a white dot under her stomach, i was wondering do i have to breed her with one of my males? or will she just release her eggs on her own, i don't want here to well... explode with eggs.
 
o_o Im not sure they get pregnant live that, I only think livebreeders do in the sense that your speaking -minus the egg part.
 
You should NEVER EVER keep males together, because they get aggressive, and dominant, and you should never keep more than one female with one male except for when they are breeding! Separate all of them, except for your "pregnant" Betta, and put her with one of the males. Make sure they are in a 8-10 gallon tank with a heater, filter, live plants, etc, and keep note if your female is getting vertical stripes on her sides, and stomach, this means she is about to "explode with eggs." Your male should be blowing a bubble nest, so that means they are ready to mate. Separate your fish, especially your males, as they are going to be ripping each other apart in no time.
