Betta breeding log 1

Finally i'm starting to breed with my fish. I'm using some of the bettas I got at my LFS. First want to see if it a good enough setup. Will post some pics later. The male is flaring like mad and the female is already showing vertical stripes. I just added her to the tank. Will release her around tonight.

Wish me luck!

 

Good luck Jimmy and keep us posted...

 

Good luck.
I hope they breed.

 

Wow. My betta male is really aggressive. My poor females fins are being ripped apart.

 

Poor females.
Look like you pick a aggressive male.
I heard some males are more aggressive than others.
But I hoppe he will breed.

 

post some pics if you can?

 

I will post some pics tomorrow. If things are not looking better by tomorrow I'm going to take them out, recondition and try the other male. Hopefully he is not as aggressive.

 

I have taken the male out. Put my other male in. Hopefully he isn't to juvenile.

 

I hope so.
And I hope it will breed.

 

They are embracing after 3 days now. Still no eggs coming out of the female. Hopefully by the end of the day there is a good amount of eggs.

 

I have breed bettas twice.
The second time I breed them the female relesed no eggs.
Just later I saw 2 or 3 eggs comming out.
At the end of the day I have a nest full of eggs.
Sadly I did not have the right food for betta fry so only 2 fry survived.
They are around 3 cm long.
But I hope your bettas will breed.

 

She is dropping some now!!! Only like 4 eggs but i suppose the rest will come out soon!!!!

 

I hope so.
If the eggs are yellow they are fertilized.

Good luck again.

 

How does fertilization take place?

 

And how would I know if he is eating the eggs?

 

Some pictures!

 

When the male squeeze the eggs out of her he should fertilezed them.
A male usually take good care of the eggs and fry.
I don`t know when a male is eating the eggs.
But if he puts them in the bubble nest he might care for them.
Good luck!

 

Hmmm oke thank you. I have taken the female out. He chased her away from the nest. He is repairing the nest and looking after the eggs. So I'm hoping they are fertilized.

 

Congrats Jimmy! Great pics too.

 

If they are fertilezed they might hatch tommorow.
I think I must breed bettas myself again.
