Males and Females are usually for breeding purposes only. While people have mixed multiple Bettas together, it is ill advised. Multiple Females will work, however, putting a Male in the mix can trigger aggression amongst Females to win the "affections" of the Male. And people who place multiple Males in a tank have a large tank and a lot of decor/plants to break the line of sight.
