bikramjit sarkar - 7 years ago

awesome

Doryan Duvyan - 7 years ago

The male is the one who collects the eggs and places them in the bubbles, not the female, the reason the female goes in to a short shock is so that the male can have time to collect the eggs because she will eat them! the mating ritual happens several times until all the eggs are squeezed out of the female then the female usually swims away so that the male won't attack and kill her for is the male who guards the eggs until they hatch then in about three days start swimming on their own.

Clorox Bleachs - 7 years ago

Vi Vi not just dads. Some mom's are crappy too.

Buttercream kitten - 7 years ago

After they breed what do you do with the female? Do you leave her in with the fry or do you remove her? Can her and the male stay in a tank together after they have made the fry?

jenny lane - 7 years ago

Buttercream kitten did u ever watch the video he clearly states your ?

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

Buttercream kitten no remove the female after the last mating process once she stops mating. Then remove the male once the fries start swimming and relying on themselves when they're 2 or 3 days old.

Superluigijames Tran - 7 years ago

u inintroduced the female too soon 3-5 days is better...gives the male to prepare and female to submit

Lazy Bones - 7 years ago

talk in english

mahim aryal - 7 years ago

when should we take out female betta,after the fry shows up?

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

mahim aryal just remove her when the mating is over.

Adrian Jordan - 7 years ago

my male won't build the nest i already put the female in the tank with a separate container so they can see eachother but not fight i conditioned them for 2 weeks with blood worms and pellets idk how old he is but he's big and looks mature enough to mate and the female is full of eggs and has a little white dot under her belly... the tank is a 10g w a sponge filter i got the indian almond leaf a heater at 80 Fahrenheit and some plants for cover basically i got everything for the reproduction but my male doesn't build his nest

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

+Adrian Jordan also make sure the conditions of the tank resembles summer in their natural habitat because that's when they often ten to breed. I bred mines in a large plastic glassy box XD.

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

+Adrian Jordan It could be because she's not interested or she might not have eggs. It's a real pain in the ass in your situation because your bettas are being picky. Mines just mated after 2nd day on introduction. Make sure the male, and female are the same breed, and equal in size otherwise there will be these complications.

Adrian Jordan - 7 years ago

Mike Hamada yeah they run up and down her body

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

+Adrian Jordan lol did the lines show up on her ?

Adrian Jordan - 7 years ago

Mike Hamada well i actually did and and waited a week or two before introducing the new pair with the same female he builds a huge bubble nest and she destroys it every damn time i'm about to give up idk what to do

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

Adrian Jordan he's not interested then go get a horny male XD

XxRhiannonxX - 7 years ago

What if you don't want a hundred fish???

F.O.X - 7 years ago

can you put shrimps in a same tank with betta fish or will the betta kill them and will the shrimp eat betta eggs and will the betta eat shrimp babies

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

F.O.X is that a troll question ? because you do realize almost every fucking tropical fish loves munching on shrimps and fries.

Michaela Wiles - 7 years ago

My male did not build the nest:(

RyanWake bradtelle - 7 years ago

I am attempting to build a sealed terrarium and I want a life cycle with at least one species of fish now I've already figured out how to get a constant supply of oxygen and bubbles in the water,( which just involves walls with very very very tiny holes an algae and non-electric bubblers and possibly a piston waterfall generator which won't be enough by itself but I'm going to put it in there because I put a lot of work into that), I was wondering about a possible food source for baby and adult betta fish and what species would be a good start

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

RyanWake bradtelle piranhas are dicks and will attack stressed or weakened fish.

Crystal McCarthy - 7 years ago

where can i buy food for the fry? where can i buy microworms?

Miss Regal - 7 years ago

Normally the mainstream fishstores won't have these kinds of foods, they may have powder starter fry foods but they most likely wouldn't eat that. There's a tutorial on youtube on how to start your own microworm culture without having to buy a starter using a potato and oatmeal/and bread based product. You can find baby brine shrimp eggs easily on the internet, ebay and amazon have a good selection as well as some reputable breeder websites. If you play your cards right fry food should be very abundant and try to have as much variety as you can. Baby brine shrimp are prone to giving your fish swim bladder as well as microworms alike. Try to only feed microworms the first week or two weeks of the fry's life, then start hatching baby brine shrimp eggs and feeding small portions multiple times throughout the day. If you want the fry to have good nutrition, once you harvest your baby brine shrimp put the fry starter powder in the container where you have your baby brine shrimp eggs in BEFORE feeding. Let it sit for at least 20 mins and feed that to your fry. It'll make your babies fat and healthy.
Some other great options are vinegar eels! Equally as easy to maintain as the other foods, the more variety the better

Mike Hamada - 7 years ago

Crystal McCarthy where did you buy the fish ? Are you a troll ?

LIONESS GAMING - 7 years ago

Mario and Luigi show BIZ - 7 years ago

New Meta - 7 years ago

Mario and Luigi show BIZ - 7 years ago

New Meta would that mean every fry is disabled?

Teslanudle - 8 years ago

How did you set up the filter so it wouldn't distort the bubble nest

Teslanudle - 7 years ago

Jeff Solis do you have any links?

Jeff Solis - 7 years ago

Teslanudle I think they sell low flow filters or filters the re deposit the water under the water and not over it

Dark Exile - 8 years ago

What size should the tank be?

betta boy nava - 7 years ago

Dark Exile

Julien Sirard - 7 years ago

The male might be to small in comparison to the female. Maybe waiting a bit for the male to grow if that is the case.

Dark Exile - 8 years ago

Julien Sirard my bettas keep failing to embrace, should i do something?

Julien Sirard - 8 years ago

Dark Exile between 5 and 10 gallons

SakuraCrystalWulf - 8 years ago

How many tanks would you suggest having before breeding? Right now I have 2 1gal tanks and 1 10gal tank, but I'm thinking about when the fry get bigger and when I might need to separate them..

Miss Regal - 7 years ago

This isnt near enough space to breed nor keep fry. You should always spawn in 15-30gal with a low water level so that when the babies grow up you'll have enough space to keep them in until you can pick out the aggressive ones. Seperating bettas are pretty easy, just start collecting jars early. Once you pick out aggressive fish as they grow you'll find yourself individually housing and caring for A LOT of males/aggressive females, I collect pickle jars since they're large and fairly simple to clean daily. So yea, obviously you'll need to seperate them but 2 1gals aren't even enough for one fish much less fry.

You could always spawn in a 10 gal and move them to a bigger tank or even a plastic tote, but keeping them in a 10 gal will promote more aggression and more runts dying from lack of food due to bigger fry eating more than them. Don't try to spawn without being prepared first! It's a very stressful and long process and the fry are very sensitive. Best of luck

Julie K - 8 years ago

Betta males make great dads! Making sure his fry's eggs are in the nest for sometimes days. They don't even eat... until the fry actually hatch... then sometimes they eat the fry...

Reni Rn - 7 years ago

Goldiebubbles - 7 years ago

Everything Aquarium they won't eat fry when they first hatch but if you leave him in there when the fry start getting larger faster he will eat them, or attack them.

Tabitha Newman - 8 years ago

When do you seperate the male fry, when they start showing aggression? And do you need to put them all in seperate tanks? I don't really have space for 20 seperate tanks haha

Synn Kynlr - 8 years ago

Tabitha Newman you could put them in deli cups, also, 20 from one breeding pair is unlikely. they can have over 500 fry.

SUnnYY13 - 8 years ago

can you feed them infusoria when they are free swimming?

Ninja Of The Darkness - 8 years ago

dang my Betta built a huge ass nest. But I don't know if I should buy a female Betta lol

Carlisa Giles - 7 years ago

Goldiebubbles was

Goldiebubbles - 7 years ago

AquaLife&More That might work! Like I said before, go join "Fishlore" if you can. I can help you on that website if you are interested in breeding.

AquaLife&More - 7 years ago

Goldiebubbles But I'll sell them for really cheap price like 50 for 10€

Goldiebubbles - 7 years ago

AquaLife&More That's a start! Although most chain stores don't take locally breed fish your local fish store might. It is hard to get rid of 50-200 fishes though! If you are interested in breeding bettas join the "Fishlore" forum on google and start talking to people. I would also be willing to help you out on there.

AquaLife&More - 7 years ago

Goldiebubbles I'll sell the most of my Betta's to pet shops

Goldiebubbles - 7 years ago

AquaLife&More You have to buy a spawn tank (5-10 gallons), a grow out tank (20-50 gallons) and lots of jars (50-200) for male bettas because they will start trying to kill eachother. Then you have to figure out how to filter and heat 50-100 jars. Also you need decorations, filters and heaters for the spawn tank and the grow out. You need to have live food cultures of different types of water worms and bugs. So it is very, very expensive... it is not uncommon for first time small scale betta breeders to spend upwards of $1,000 breeding their bettas and it is extremely rare for someone to make one penny off of their first spawn, 99.9% of you end up losing money.

AquaLife&More - 7 years ago

Chesa Djanelle Why expensive?

Goldiebubbles - 7 years ago

Chesa Djanelle breeding betas can become horribly expensive and you should only really breed betas from other beta breeders to prevent genetic defects.

Shane paye - 8 years ago

How many day the male connot eat?

Lisa Colebank - 8 years ago

Do you have to always use the filter through out the night? Oh is it ok to shut it off once in a while when you have baby betta fry???

Dree Meymey - 8 years ago

It is okay to put the breeding tank in under my bed which so very dark. for them no to be disturb?

KrystalxMagic - 8 years ago

Can I remove the female if she lays about 10-20 eggs? or would it effect the bubble nest?

KrystalxMagic - 8 years ago

Do all the eggs hatch? and how many Betta fishes will live?

A and S Life - 7 years ago

KrystalxMagic there are just a few runt eggs that might not make it and they hatch at a similar time so just wait for a while and ya... but the rest are an a ok

Lisa Colebank - 8 years ago

If you don't have the right food for the baby fly is it ok to use dry blood worms crushed up smaller???

Archit - 8 years ago

Blood worms are a treat! Maybe just give the fry crushed flakes :)

Michelle Anne Pastolero - 8 years ago

XxXMidnightblackXxX - 8 years ago

The female is to big and or the male is to young, you need fish that are almost the same size or better is a male who is slightly bigger than the female. If this is the case for you and he still can't wrap around her right, he might just be inexperienced and will need more time to get it right.

White . Bettas - 8 years ago

Once the fry are free swimming feed them small amounts of microworms, and once they get older (1/2 months old) you can feed them things like repashy gel food, bloodworms, daphnia, or mysis.

Zurv - 8 years ago

I have this betta fry formula I got from amazon, is it OK to feed them that? I Don't have microworms or baby brine shrimp, pls help is it ok? if not what else can I feed them?

Tim GlobalService - 8 years ago

you can feed them egg yokes , boil an egg, then separate the yoke from the whites, take a small piece of the yoke and mix it with some water in a spoon till its like a watery paste, then use a toothpick or a que-tip put several small dabs of the egg yoke into the water in the general location of the fry (not too much as this will pollute your water really quick) only recommend this for the first couple of feedings till your Brine shrimp are ready or you have had a chance to get to the pet store an buy some fry food.

My male Betta fish is making a bubble nest at the top of his tank and I'm not planning on breeding him. Will he make the bubble nest until he dies or will he eventually stop? I've had him for just over 3 weeks and he just started making the bubble nest when I put him into a bigger tank.

My Tiny Planet - 7 years ago

It actually has nothing to do with their happiness. It means that they have reached sexual maturity ie. Ready to breed :)

oh wow! You definitely didn't learn anything from your 5 years. Even 2 year olds know this. Everyone knows the male bettas won't kill females if they give them sex. Next time make the females throw sex at them so they don't get killed.

Goldiebubbles - 7 years ago

Alexander Borges He makes it sound like he just left the fish in the tank until they killed each other. What probably happened is they beat eachother up so bad for a week or so that they died from injuries and stress.

Alexander Borges - 7 years ago

I also from time to time just introduce the male and the female at the same time and they breed let me tell you something in 30 years I have never seen two bettas male and male fighting or breeding,,,,,,,,,die.I'm not calling you a liar but I just find it hard to believe that one time they both killed each other.usually after a fight or breeding they're banged up but I find it very hard to believe that one or even both could die I think maybe you were young and your father probably just had them banged up pretty bad

Hi buddy, great video!!!
wondering how long I should keep the male and female in the same tank with divider?

It has been 2 days since they were divided in the same tank, the female shows a bit vertical strip but not much, and the male are keep building the nest.

wondering how long I should keep the male and female in the same tank with divider? how could I know they both ready?

thank you very much!!

레이첼 - 8 years ago

+Ulti metro Ahh ok I see your problem, so has your male been there his whole life? If he has remove the fry not him, this may be a better option ( to reduce stress) :) Do this by geting a cup and scooping it up. You have you do this very carefully. Then get an other tank and put the fry in there.Also if you dont have an other tank get a solid tank divider (no holes in it) and split the betta male away from the fry. However, if your problem is getting the male out use hands or carefully move the fry with the cup for 2 secs while getting the male. Water conditioner, filter and heater are a must for bettas.

Ulti metro - 8 years ago

+Rachel Norman heyyy,how do i remove the male without disturbing the fry? is a water condition and temperature a must for survival for betta fishes....actually will the both conditions affect breeding

레이첼 - 8 years ago

+ZHONG Weapon Don't feed him when the female is in the tank :) So stop feeding and
and release the female carefully after 25 mins they will breed if they don't they are not ready, if this happens try once more (do the whole process again) and if it doesn't work give up (lol that sounds mean). Hope I helped, any questions just ask me <3

Peter Zhong - 8 years ago

thanks!!
today is the 3rd day they are together in a new tank, the male eats all the floating pellets we fed while the female doesn't eat much and most of the food fall into the bottom, I think they need to to eat a lot to store energy to breeding, don't they? any thing I could do to help?

HOW DO U REMOVE THE FEMALE IF SHE IS UNDER THE BUBBLE NEST!?!

Jo Bo - 8 years ago

what's a bubble nest?

RachSketches - 8 years ago

once the fry have grown up, at what point do you need to separate them? do they act aggressive to one another?

kittylitter91 - 8 years ago

you separate them when you notice they are becoming aggressive, not all happen at the same time

princess - 8 years ago

males WILL fight each other. once they start doing that slightly (you'll see them chasing each other in the tank they grow up it's time to seperate them). what you can do is keep the females in a big tank together BUT keep an eye on them because sometimes they won't go along with each other so simply seperate the "trouble making" ones.

RachSketches - 8 years ago

+Allosaurus Rex okay, thank you

Allosaurus Rex - 8 years ago

You'll have to separate male and females. Males won't fight each other unless they get separated and reintroduced. If you separate them you'll have to keep them separate.

Alexis Louise - 8 years ago

She isn't scared of him tho. there is no bubble nest and she's a very dark blue so I can't tell if she has stripes yet, please help :(

Twilight Betta - 8 years ago

+Uniquely Alexis Louise Untill the male finishes making the bubble nest. So probably awhile. Bettas do take work into making the nest so it takes a while.

Alexis Louise - 8 years ago

Okaii, thanks. I'm sorry for bothering you, but how long after introducing them does he make one?

I'd take the female out and put her back in the cup to recondition her until you notice the make has made a bubble nest, that's your best bet. :)

How long did you have the male betta before you decided to start breeding and do you need to have him for a while before he is comfortable to create a nest or is it just whenever your ready to breed them.

angel of music - 8 years ago

This seems a little off topic but it does come back around. My friend's male betta has formed a bubble nest and seems to be looking for a female. I had seen a couple times on websites that females preferred to be in a communal tank. We are trying to look at some different options. Do you think it is possible to slowly integrate a few females and a male into a tank for just regular times? we currently have a 15 gallon tank and a 1 gallon tank (which the male and his current bubble nest are in). I have experience in both keeping various breeds and some breeding of live bearers so I am understanding things pretty quickly I just need to make sure I'm getting all the info I need. (sorry this was long)

Maaz Khan - 8 years ago

can anybody tell me what size tank is needed

Bun Wong - 8 years ago

The tank size recommendation is 5 gal for breeding but you could just use a basin if you want to, for the fry, you would need a 20 gallon tank for the first month then increase the size if needed and jar males that are aggressive. The whole process for breeding is 1 week and for the fry, it's about a few months for them to reach adulthood. ( Hopes this helps!)

Bun Wong - 8 years ago

The eggs hatch around 36 to 48 hours after they are fertilized and around 2 days for them to be free swimming

I've seen betas my whole life. I used to do oscars and piranhas. I walked into petco for my 10 gal to try to do guppies and somehow walked out with only a male and female betta. These are much more pettish and intel fish than I would have thought. This is a good vid to understand what to do. I think I can do it. It's been a kid since I've seen any fry !!

Once they fry r out and the male is out what needs to be fed to the fry?

+Pravin Naidu The female drops the eggs while the male fertilizes, basically instantly. Feeding fry, you can look it up online. Many many sources

you must start you're own culture.And you can get your starter culture by cutting a potato half and making a half inch deep hole in the between and bury it in the soil and after 1-2week you can remove it and start you're culture.(you can watch videos on youtube to know more about this).

Florida PieLady - 9 years ago

The fry are so precious. Great video. I am curious to know how do you know when it's time to breed? Does the male usually create the nest once you place the female (in a glass jar) in the tank and then 'she' get's ready once she is released? That is the part I was unsure of. I have seen my male create a small nest but hasn't in a long time. I have never attempted to breed him. Thank you for any details.

Mike Wessel - 8 years ago

males will often create nests with water changes or tank changes. once they are comfortable with their surroundings they will often build nests. it's basically their way of saying "this is my territory". however, when you place the female in with the male he will make a much larger then usual nest. it's very important to keep ur tank covered to keep humidity levels high above the water colum for development of the labyrinth in the fry. if the air above the water is cold dry air you will be lucky to have any surviving fry.

Brian Searles - 9 years ago

Many variables to breeding Bettas! Have done so about 10 times and no 2 were the same. The most important thing is that the female must be ready to mate! For me it seemed she lost interest in eating but became more interested in getting out of her jar to join the male. Also, LIVE baby Brine shrimp is the best food for the young. When the eggs start to hatch set up your first shrimp hatchery so that when the young start looking for food they will be able to find it.

Virgil R Garwood - 9 years ago

again, like he said in he video, only brine diet can make them more susceptible to bloat and dropsy.

Regular juvie Betta101 if you live somewhere where you can't get live food and all you have is chips tiny food balls dust like food etc... My advice go buy one of the tiny sand sized food then go chew on the tiny dust like foods bag with your front teeth make sure the tiny sand sized food starts to look and feel like dust then it's ready for your fry to feed on. But I also tend to let some algae grow around my tank for the fries to gaze on.

I had 2 beta fish in a tank once and the male killed the female so it is reccommended to keep them alone with maybe another fish (still not reccommended) but they won't be aggresive as long without another beta fish. They are very lovely and my beta fish comes up top to the water and blows me a kiss when it sees me

Julien Sirad is it okay to bred bettas in a 2.5 gallon tank because my male elephant eared betta is blowing a bubblenest. i put him in the tank with my female crowntail but it has a divider and the tank is between 75-80 degrees. whenever my male betta sees her, he looks like he getting all worked up, and he's trying not to let her see him, and later he looks at he's bubblenest and he tries to make more bubbles. i also read that if you feed them bloodworms it makes them breed a lot easier, but more me it's like close to impossible

Tiffany Love - 10 years ago

I tried breeding them, but when i put the female in, she didn't move she just stay there like she's super tired. So i was scared she will die so i took the male out and she was back to her active self again!

Travis Tran - 10 years ago

i used to breed beta when i was a kids. you should do it with no light and smaller tank. use a taro type leaf on top . can feed the fries with a drop of animal fat...

Tw1zzl3rs - 10 years ago

How many days does the male take to get the eggs in the bubble nest? And for how many days do you leave the male in after the fry start to come out?

where did you get the worms, can you feed them live worms from the reptile section cause my petstore doesnt have much on betta fish

Jessica Delcina - 10 years ago

Ive bewn trying to breed my crown tail betta with a female but I dont think he knows how to make a bubble nest, i have a plastic leaf in for him along with some spots for her to hide after I release her but i dont know why hes not making a nest unless i just cant see it. I think she has vertical lignes but its hard to compare her with the one in your video cause I couldnt really see. Any ideas or tips?

sexykee55 - 10 years ago

My betta are beeding in my fish bowl

Addie Gallegos - 10 years ago

i thought my female was eating the bubbles so i took her out. we never saw them embrace or anything. He is blowing bubbles but when i released her again she swam to the bottom and wont come up towards the nest at all. but she has the vertical lines.

Addie Gallegos - 10 years ago

Ok I did that and now she keeps coming up and trying to get close to him but then he flares his gills out at her and charges at her. She runs and hides.

C Whitaker - 10 years ago

If the female isnt impressed with the nest (or isnt ready herself) she will destroy the nest. Maybe put her back into her tank and keep feeding her live food 3 times a day for a week then try it again.

niranjan keerthe - 10 years ago

any simple way to breed

C Whitaker - 10 years ago

yea, breed goldfish

itsasin1969 - 10 years ago

I would put a few more plants at the far right end for the FM to hide. She will come out on her own when shes ready.

Elizabeth Zeeck - 10 years ago

What if your betta doesn't blow bubbles and its the day you put the jar in the tank what do u do because I want to breex my betta fish and can you breed betta fish even though they arent the same color but the same breed???

linen verley - 10 years ago

You can feed them anythig just dont feed while there mating or when the male is in the tank or just feed them alot before they breed they both might eat eggs if you feed them(sometime)

Elizabeth Zeeck - 10 years ago

Do u have to have them eat the frozen worms like I have flakes that I feed them will that be a alright

linen verley - 10 years ago

Yes

linen verley - 10 years ago

Yes

Troy Kazmierczak - 10 years ago

That release of the female was pretty rough. Could have been done a lot easier with a bottle with the bottom cut off. Then just lift it out instead of just dumping her in. the smoother the better.

Neenooth Itish - 10 years ago

can i put a male and female inside the same tank, but i do not want them to breed, can they stay together without killing each other?

Betta Fish :D - 8 years ago

+Neenooth Itish Or u can just make a divider and half the tank, put the male on one half, female on the other.

Virgil R Garwood - 9 years ago

+Neenooth Itish where normally you'd follow the one inch of fish per gallon guide, give them five gallons a piece and plants. lots of hiding places for the female... be prepared to watch them heavily for a very long time.

Neenooth Itish - 10 years ago

ok, thnx

Julien Sirard - 10 years ago

this would only be possible if it is very heavily planted, if not the male will exhaust the female.

Dalton Anzaldua - 10 years ago

When they hatch do they all end up surviving or do some die and after how long do u think we should separate the babys? Or do we not have to?

Ayla Salazar - 10 years ago

it's normal for some to die. Remove the young fish from the breeding tank when they start showing aggression towards others.

can you feed them crushed troical fish flakes?

spacebug30 - 10 years ago

For betta fry, daphnia is too big, they can only eat baby brine shrimp (young artemia), microworms or vinegar eals, there are some other things but these are the most common
Adult betta's can eat daphnia, but it doesn't contain much proteins, also bloodworms contain very few proteins, black mosquitolarves and artemia are the best food for betta's because they contain a lot of proteins
Though some betta might not want to eat these at first compared to bloodworms, they will after some time, that was a problem with some of my betta's too, but I fed it with other foods and now they just eat it :)

Briannyl Ocampo - 10 years ago

+all4Demi How about daphnia?

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

Betta fry only eats live foods, freeze dried bloodworms are even way bigger than the fry itself
For adult betta's, freeze dried bloodworms are okay, I also feed mine that :) But most of my betta's won't eat it :/ Mine prefer frozen bloodworms :)

CheyPaws - 11 years ago

what about freeze dried bloodworms?

Nicholas Meyer - 11 years ago

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

Nicholas Meyer - 11 years ago

Actually, this is not true. I have fed my betta dried pellets and he is healthy and a year and a half old.

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

No, they ignore any death food they get, they can only eat véry tiny live foods

She also seems to like him by trying to find him through the little holes in the divider. He is also doing a little tail shake at her as well ! What do I do !
