WELL MY FISH SORTA GOT PREGNANT TODAY AND I DONT KNOW WHEN THE BABIES ARE DUE PLEASE HELP!!!!:D:D:D:0:):0

Answer 1

Bettas reproduce by building a bubble nest. The male builds the nest attached to some floating object, they mate under the nest, the eggs are discharged, and then the male will pick up the eggs and put them into the nest. Then he will guard the nest until the eggs hatch, in 24-36 hours. Once the eggs are laid, the female should be taken out of the tank.

Answer 2

Betta's can not get pregnant. They are egg layers, not livebearers. You have to have a male and female to have "babies", and actually you will have eggs for the first 36 or so hours, then you will have fry if all goes well. If you have a female, and she is full of eggs, and you don't have a 10g spawning tank set up with a male waiting on her, then you will not have babies. Sorry! :(

Not always does the female get beat up, do remove her after the spawning takes place, Only remove the father after the fry are "free swimming"..this means able to swim like a normal fish. If you remove him right after the eggs are layed, before they hatch, the eggs will die. If you remove him before the fry are "free swimming", you take a good chance of the fry dying. In both cases, the father picks up any fallen eggs or fry and puts them back in the bubble nest. Breeding Bettas is not easy, and very time consuming.

Answer 3

I have a betta fish too and this is how I have him and how I keep and care for him. He's in a 2.5 gallon tank with a slow flowing filter with a bubble wand and Java Moss (plant), if the bubble wand becomes an issue with him I simply turn it off. The sponge filter is gently rinsed in removed aquarium water and replaced every 6 weeks, and then I will add a bacterial product called Stability by SeaChem. In 2 weeks after the filter cleaning I will vacuum his gravel so there won't be a toxic build up down there. I don't do that very often only because I don't want to upset the biological filter. When removing water and replacing the water, I do this very slowly so I don't upset the pH of the tank, you see the pH of the tank is much different than the pH of my tap water. I have set aside a gallon bucket of water that has a lid, fill it with water and add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to bring up the pH/KH, my tap doesn't have any KH at the moment I tested and it's at 0. Any way I go to the tap and get some water fill up 2 cups add 4 oz of my bucket water mixture add Seachem Prime and I'm ready to go. So now I'm ready to replace the water, I just don't put it in all at once or he will get zoned out. I put in a little new water than remove some aquarium water and add it to the clean water I'm putting in, doing this back and forth until both replacement water and aquarium water match very closely in chemistry. Over all it takes me 10 minutes standing by his tank putting fresh water in his tank very slowly very gently. Once this is all done I will add some Stability by SeaChem in the event I upset the biology in the water and around the Java Moss. There's also a heater that keeps his water at 78F all the time. He's also feed pre-soaked pellets as his main diet and a blood worm as a treat 3 times a week. When soaking pellets soak in just a tiny bit of removed aquarium water If you are interested in testing your water you just get a kit or take some aquarium water down to your LFS and have them test it for you, you will then know what to do if they find a problem. Also in most aquarium stores there are some test kits that you can do your self. It's not to hard, just do your research and you will be amazed on what you will find and what you can do to improve life in an aquarium. Take Care and enjoy your fishy friend

Answer 4

Are you breeding them or something? Do you have a male and female in the same tank? Bettas do not get pregnant. You need a male to build a bubblenest and he squeezes the eggs out of the female and fertilizes them, then they pick up the eggs and put them in the bubblenest.

I'm a little confused by your question, can you please explain the circumstances that got your betta "pregnant"? Because breeding bettas is difficult, it does not just happen.

Answer 5

?!?!?!? Well I wouldnt be too worried about it. The babies arent "due" and the betta isnt pregnant. When they spawn the betta will produce eggs. You must have the male in the tank because the eggs will not hatch unless he sperms on them. Once they are hatch they will become "fry" this is what baby fish are called. The odds are that the parents will eat most of the eggs and fry but there is nothing you can do about it. Dont try and remove the parents at anytime or the fry will die. At best you will most likely only get one or two out of thousands.

Answer 6

Unless you somehow (I'm guessing mistakenly) put a male and female betta together and somehow they managed to not kill each other, I'm willing to bet your betta isn't pregnant. The previous posters also explained why female bettas don't become pregnant, in any case.

Here's my guess - your betta looked fat, and therefore you thought it was pregnant. I'm willing to bet one of the following holds true:
1) You fed it too much. Bettas will literally eat themselves to death if you let them. Keep in mind that your betta has a stomach the size of one of it's eyeballs.
2) Your fish has a disease, possibly swim bladder disorder or even dropsy. If you really think that you don't overfeed your betta, I suggest going to this site http://www.bettatalk.com/betta_diseases.htm and seeing if any of the diseases describes your betta's situation.

Good luck!

Answer 7

3 Weeks

Answer 8

Bettas do not get pregnant. The females get eggs when they see the males bubble nest and the male will beat her up and squeeze the eggs out of her and put them in his bubble nest then beat her up until she leaves. You need to take a deep breath. If the female is looking big in the belly it may be from "bloating" which usually comes from dirty water. Your fish may be sick! You should get Betta Fix medicine and follow the directions. Try your local independent pet store for more answers on breeding.

Answer 9

In fish anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks Good Luck sometimes Bettas east their babies b careful

Answer 10

Bettas Lay eggs. They do not "get pregnant". The male will build a bubble nest and then the female will lay eggs and the male will fertilize them . He takes care of the babies, so remove her from the tank as soon as they are done.
