Christmas songs Ray - 7 years ago

but I leave the female after the male was there to 3 days the male build bubble nest so after I bought female

Christmas songs Ray - 7 years ago

y they are fighting after the nest is build the female is paired and going behind the male after some time they started fighting what shall I do

Roger wilson - 7 years ago

It should be mentioned that the bettas will mate more than once. My pair spawned for several hours and produced over 600 eggs. When the female stops returning to the nest after waking up it's time to remove her. Then the male stays with the eggs until they've hatched and the fry can swim on their own.

Ansari Shanawaz - 7 years ago

can I keep parents and Fry's together

Sean Pyles - 7 years ago

No, you should remove the female right after mating and the male after the eggs hatch. He is kept in there as they are still eggs because he will protect them from other predators.
If kept in there after they've hatched, he will eat and kill them.

Edn Vines - 7 years ago

Sean Pyles thanks it working

Sean Pyles - 7 years ago

Or they aren't ready yet. Feed them well another week and then try again.

Sean Pyles - 7 years ago

They're probably not a good pair. You should choose a different female or male.

Aien Disconnect - 8 years ago

how long time I have to put the female betta at the jar...pls answer

PaperTop - 7 years ago

Dude i think you shold just see if they are chill and if they are fighting and going face to face.I think you should just remove one of them.

Sean Pyles - 7 years ago

That should happen when he's trying to mate but if he gets too aggressive it's safer to restart the whole process or get a different female/male. They need to be compatible for it to work. And if they are not even a little compatible it will not work.

ely dwayne salazar - 7 years ago

Sean Pyles... what if the male always chase the female and his hurting the female?

Sean Pyles - 7 years ago

Until the male starts and finishes building a bubble nest. If he doesn't build the nest. Take her out and try again or choose a new female/male.

Clavelyn Garcia - 8 years ago

Zonbi - 11 years ago

what color is your female? If it is a darker color it is easy to tell when it's ready but if it's a lighter color it is little difficult to tell if it has the vertical stripes or not.(sorry for the late answer)

Viri Gastelum - 11 years ago

my female fish doesn't have the lines but the male already had done the bubble nest

Zonbi - 11 years ago

Yes, the female should have vertical lines when it is ready to breed.

Eric P - 12 years ago

my female and male breed 20 times in a row then the male ate all the eggs with none left over

BettaFishRUs - 12 years ago

If you don't, then she'll destroy the nest and try to eat the eggs. If she doesn't do that, the male will kill her before she gets a chance.

My bettas breed without cuddling each other ok heres what happened it's funny my male made it's bubble nest and I released the female the female was so scared when the male chased her and she just pooped the eggs all over the tank lol is this a problem I should worry about

BettaFishRUs - 12 years ago

In the wild, male bettas build bubble nests under floating objects to protect it from wind, rain, birds, etc. It is instinct, so most bettas prefer to build their nest the same way. :)

GLORIBEL DE JESUS - 12 years ago

HI! MY QUESTION IS... WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE 3X2 WAX PAPER? DO I JUST THROW IT IN THE TANK SO IT FLOATS? COUSE I ALREADY DID AND FOLLOW EVERY PROCEDURE IN THE VIDEO. MY MALE BETA IS MAKING THE BUBBLE NEST, THE THING I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THE WAX PAPER THING.

Taylor Carey - 12 years ago

hey, i am breeding bettas, i got the boy and the girl to embrace, they have been embracing for about 2 hours, i took her out because his bubble nest dissapeared/dissolved. Every egg she had, he didnt catch or see, and if he did, then he would knock it out of the nest with his fins, or the bubble would pop and it would fall. idk if he is blind or somthing. i hope not. i want it to be successful, she has about 7 stripes, and i am not putting her in untill he blows a full bubble nest

bennerix - 12 years ago

Breeding bettas can be tought and exspensive if too inexperienced, Practice and get experience with cheap bettas as if you spend alot on some rather beautifull bettas not available in lfs then you could end up loosing the male or female during spawning, they are violent towards each other in some cases, some spawn instantly when released from the jar, And spawning can take hours to days in some cases especially when its there first time, be patient and keep an eye on your bettas during this time

JETSTA916 - 12 years ago

female+female= no babies...ever. ur going to need a male and female that are both ready, just look up u tube videos on how to get them ready.

Ricky Cortes - 12 years ago

@lovebluemonkeys1 the female has to be 'eggy' it will look like shes bloated. And yes they will fight a bit at first.

Kempanna Kenchappa - 12 years ago

@togos2000 Use a mirror to confuse your female betta, keep a mirror in front of it so that its attention is diverted and then use a slight larger net. What type of tank do you have? The says that it has more information in w ww.bettafish-care.info . In deed it has a lot of information in there.

@cherrycupcakezlover the babies will hatch in 48 hours, and think you can leave the male like for another day. and right now, im trying to breed my bettas too, and the female doesnt have those vertical bars, but it seems she wants the male

Jacob Petit - 12 years ago

@saixion. Do u have something for him to make it under? My male didnt make a bubble nest for a while when i put the female on the other side of the divider. (im no breeding, though i hope to at some stage)

marvidrunzthis - 13 years ago

@llNuwall You remove the female right after spawning this may take 1-10 hours. I remove my male after the first week sometimes sooner if he start to eat the fry.

Asianleful - 13 years ago

@juliew6611 Once the fry are free-swimming then you remove the male. You should feed the fry baby brine shrimp, rotifers, or vinegar worms. You should really research this stuff before you go out and do it, beginner's impulse fail.

@sapanbehura The vertical bars appear on female Betta fish when they are ready to breed. You can make sure they are ready to breed by also looking under them and there is a white thing sticking out. Do not think a horizontal bar means they are ready to breed - the horizontal bar represents fear.

kevinthao123 - 13 years ago

@ysabelcruz11 the frys doesn't show aggression until the start showing color and maturing,you will have to supply all your males with bowls until you sell them or give them away.the females can stay together unless they are very aggressive against each other.start feeding the frys whenever you see that they can swim horizontally without needing the dad's help.At this point take the dad out.

kevinthao123 - 13 years ago

@juniorklk23 you start feeding the frys whenever they start swimming horizontally and freely.

madmax92gsx - 13 years ago

@MimitchiTamaTalk theres a lot more after but just youtube it on how to breed them.

madmax92gsx - 13 years ago

@MimitchiTamaTalk that means there i can into each other. you can try to breed them if you want, but fill up you tank about 4 inches high and dont put any rocks in. then place a styrafome cut in half with bottem cut out on top of the water like a water tunnle. also floating plants are good. then place them in the same tank but build a barrier between them. wait until the male finishes his bubble nest then release the female so they can mate.

Mason Dee - 13 years ago

Umm.... I need some help. I just bought two crowntail betta one male one female. they are in seperate containers, but the guy is showing off and the girl wont stop looking at him! what do I do? P.S. = we havent got the tank ready yet, we still have to decorate and clean it out. HELPP MEEE!!

@Dinosaurchickmeg They should have them at Petsmart... that's where I got mine. Walmart isn't the best place to go. At Petsmart, they have tanks made just for bettas, with a divider (so there's no fighting), and it's pretty cheap. I got mine with the divider for just $9. The tubs the bettas come in are labelled, so you know what gender and species they are. It was pretty simple and easy to do :D

Raghunandan Kempanna - 13 years ago

@mileywolfcub97 If there was no male and female laid eggs be heself, then the eggs are not fertilized. They will not hatch. The mistake is that you dint allow the male to mingle with female in the right time. wait for a couple of days and clear them. Good luck next time. :(

witchy Denise - 13 years ago

@Windows7Fan1 wax paper you can buy at any grossery store. it will be in with the plastic rap and the aluminum paper. you can also use a Styrofoam cup. you need to feed them live foods like blood worms, brine shrimp and black worms. Live foods work better to get them healthy but frozen or freeze dried will work well.

Thanks so much my bettas were not spawning but the female has bars and a egg spot. I had a light over the tank I turned it off and put books on eat side so its nice and dim for them. hope I have eggs soon the male has been working hard on his nest.

do the fish have to be a certain size ? or they can mate at any size? basically how do you know when they are an adult

kate. O. - 13 years ago

Then what do you do with the betta fry? When do you have to separate the female fry and the male fry?

TheAssassinsDen - 14 years ago

let her out when you see that at the base of her head it will have a big bump, as is she is pregnant, it will also have a white spot then let her join the male- good luck! ;)

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@mileywolfcub97 So thats called wrong timing!. The female and Male were not allowed to mate when female was ready...Its already late..but you can try to put male and female together atleast now and cross your fingers..Good Luck....All the best..more question...visit ww w.total-care-guide. com

@jetmea when mating is complete and no more eggs are popping out...however wait for like 15 mins after mating is done...Male will not hurt female as he will be busy putting eggs into bubbles....more questions...visit wwwtotal-care-guide com

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@devonmeloan yes some males dont go well with some females...use a different male if you are using Betta fish.. more questions...visit wwwtotal-care-guide com

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@Kikyo361 Sometimes this happens...just give it some more time..some fish deliver less eggs..but not as less as 2 ! more questions...visit wwwtotal-care-guide com

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@Claimjumpers No dont do that...allow female to deliver all the eggs..

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

Claimjumpers - 14 years ago

i have a question. i read that you have to kill some babies. i dont want to do that so can i just take out the female after she lays like 50 eggs or so? or will it stress her out too much? i only want what i can care for.

devonmeloan - 14 years ago

@ragsthename i went to some place and they told me that you have to let the female grow up cuz its ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD so i know that now and i will feed them blood worms

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@marjoryjosselyn there is a seperate food for Betta fry...see total-care-guide . com

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@devonmeloan Its very common that when 2 bettas (either male or female) are in the same tank, they fight. Some males are more aggressive. try the experiment with another male which is a little grown up and old. Young ones are more aggressive.

devonmeloan - 14 years ago

i also have a quiston? i have done the whole procces and now that the bubble nest is built and the female has vertical lines i put them together and the male tared up the females fins and i seperated them do u think i need diffrent fish i dont no what kind i have or whut i shud have please help me i need it

Jason Khang - 14 years ago

Jason Khang - 14 years ago

thx alot it really helps to no a lot

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@Jadenstar4 Getting lines is hard to day...it varies. In most cases, I would wait until 2-3 days, Spawning takes 1-2 days.

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

@zink3434 I should say 4-7 days, they can be together.

Jason Khang - 14 years ago

acouple questions.... how long does it take for the female to get the vertical lines on it?, how long does it take for them to spawn? i need to no ASAP im in the middle of mating them.... i habe the female in a polastic cup rite now

Raghunandan Kempanna - 14 years ago

Bubble next should be resonably big as Female fish releases a lot of eggs and male puts each egg goes into a bubble. 100-300 bubbles is a good size.
