it is very unlikely that fighters will breed. if they manage to hatch babies out, the babies unless very very well looked after by humans will die when they are a few days old because as they are developing their laberinth gland, they take a first gulp of air and if the air is not the right humidity and temperature it will not develop and the baby will not survive. I don't think there are any problems with having babies that could fight with the dad. Also if the male makes the bubble-nest, the female is likely to destroy it.
To me its crueler to keep one male fighter all on its own than to put a female with him, but everyone thinks differently.
