    So my yellow female crown tail betta almost spawn with my white round tail male. He was trying to embrace her but he did not succeed. Then he started to nip on her. Her one side is open and I can see her eggs inside her body! :eek: She is struggeling to swim. I removed her from the male and put her in another tank on a piece of bubble wrap and let some water flow on the bubblewarp so she could easily take a gulp of air. Then I add some salt. Is there anything else I can do? I don`t want to loose her...

    @Rooivlerkie

    Rooibostee is goed vir baie dinge, jy kan dit gerus probeer. Dash het altyd baie goeie en handige raad.

    Dreineer die water tot op die laagste vlak wat jy kan. Dan het sy darm 'n korter afstand om te swem. Weet nie of jy 'n airstone in het nie, maar as jy een kan bysit wat so bietjie ekstra suurstof in die water kan sit, kan dit ook help. Bettas neem blykbaar tog 'n mate van suurstof uit die water. As dit waar is sal sy dan nie nodig he om so gereeld op te gaan vir suurstof as wat sy andersins sou moes gedoen het nie.

    Sterkte aan daai kant. Ek sou heel moontlik snot en trane gesit en tjank het. Dink aan jou!

    @dash thanks I did add a rooibos tea bag.
    @Dinky I`ve notice the female trying to get off the bubble wrap. So, I removed her. She seem oaky and able to swim better. So I am hoping for the best.

    "@dash @Dinky told me Rooibos tea is very good for many things. He told me you have given me good advice (thanks!)
    I must lower the water level. Then she wil get to the surface easier. If I have an airstone I could place it inside. It would supply more oxygen for the fish. Bettas use their gills to get a little oxygen out of the water, even if they go up for air. If its true that she is on the bubblewrap and get air, it won`t be nessesary for her to go up for air, like she would have done.
    He told me good luck! he would have cried. "
    The female is still alive this morning. She is able to swim better so I mabe she`ll recover:)

    @Rooivlerkie - glad she's alive and better this morning! This surely got me thinking twice about attempting to breed my Betta.

    @dash - my apologies for the foreign language, will remember to stick to English.

    Unfortanly the female died. I don`t understand why this male was so aggresive. But it will be long before I will even think of breeding him... I`ll get another crown tail female tomorrow perhaps.

    Best of luck!

    I wouldn't even attempt to breed my females with my male. Think they will have him for breakfast!

    Photos of the new ones?

If they are not too stressed ill post pics tonight. Glad I found them. That bad white round tail wont be paired with them soon.
