I have a male veil tail betta in my 30 gallon community aquarium. Would it be a good idea to add a female betta to the aquarium. The livestock in the aquarium has no other nippy fish or territorial males/females. There are other female fish though. 2 female platties, white clouds. 1 female mollie and zebra danio. Would it be okay if i added i female betta in the mix?

I think you could do it. Just keep an eye on them though. Males can be aggressive to females also.
Females should only be with males after the male builds the bubble nest. Most other times the male will kill the female or vice versa. I have seen it work in a 75g with about 40 females and 3 males, but with only two and not much space, the odds are not good.
