How can you tell when a female betta is ready to be breed?

Question

If you have a stupid answer please dont post

Answer 1

When she's full of eggs :) Most female bettas will carry eggs whenever they are well fed, so just be sure to keep her full of good foods like bloodworms, brineshrimp, cyclops, etc. When she starts getting pudgy, she's likely full of eggs, and you can put her in with the male and see if they like each other ;)

Getting bettas to spawn can be tricky, and you have to be very careful or you could end up with a dead betta. What you need is a 10 gallon fish tank, and a cheap air driven sponge filter. You don't want any substrate because if you do have it you will lose lots of eggs. Provide plenty of caves for the female to hide from the male. To start the breeding put the male betta in the tank and put the female in a plastic breeder designed for live-bearers. This way they can get used to each other and get ready for mating. The female must be a little bit smaller than the male so he can wrap around her to squeeze out the eggs. But she can't be too small or he will kill her. So leave the female in the breeder and let the male build his bubble nest. It usually takes a week or so for them to get ready. When the male has a nice big bubble nest, and the female is fat and full of eggs and showing the operculum, let her go and let them do their magic. When they are done remove the female and put her in a tank by herself with very little current so she can recover. The male will tend to the eggs, remove him 2-3 days after the eggs hatch. Feed the fry baby brine shrimp or boil an eggs and make a paste by smashing the yolk and mixing it with water. And get lots of cups ready for the males, as they will begin to fight as they get older. Good luck!

Answer 3

I actually learned a bit about breding bettas...

When a female and male are put together, the male will star to follow or "court" her around the tank. When they are ready to breed, you will see the male putting bubbles at the top of the water. This is because once the female lays her eggs, the male puts them into his mouth and then pushes them into the bubbles for protection...Interesting actually.

Answer 4

If she's white, she likely doesn't educate her stripes.. so as it truly is out of the question. And FYI.. Horizontal stripes ability the fish is below pressure.. breeding stripes will be vertical. women folk will continually have eggs in them besides the undeniable fact that. Is she showing alot of activity in the male? Is he showing activity in her? Has he outfitted a bubble nest? Is he going to the nest, although to her? you would possibly want to attempt putting them at the same time, yet make positive it truly is on an afternoon the position you could watch them very heavily only in case issues get too aggressive and also you should take her back out asap. it would want to take them a lengthy time period (even some days) to spawn wisely so so that you could have alot of endurance with it.

Answer 5

The female will show vertical stripes on her sides.
