Betta Fish Breeding.?

Question

Ok, so i've bought the tank.

I've got a 10 gallon tank.

I'm not planning on breeding my bettas right now. I bought two more today.

I've got one Oranda, one Black Moor, 3 Male bettas and 1 female.

In the 10 gallon tank there is one male betta and the two goldfish.

The other male is in his own bowl that has lots of space.

BUT. The female and the last male are together.

What's the chance that they will spawn anyways?

I know that they shouldn't be kept together. But I don't thinks thats true. I've been watching them closely for the past few days and they have been getting along fine.

I'm finding the one in the 10 gallon tank with the two goldfish is flaring up a lot at the white and orange one. Is that bad? Will he calm down and get used to it. Or will he eat them.

He's not attacking them or nipping at them. He's just flaring and chasing a little bit.

What are some good fish I can keep in my 10 gallon tank? Can i put female bettas in there too?

Answer 1

First, your male betta will eventually turn on the female and kill her. Believe it to be true or not it's just fact. A male and female staying together without fighting is practically unheard of.

Your male betta will not kill the goldfish, he's just trying to scare them away and protect himself.

It's a long shot but possible the male and female that are together will breed. Very, very doubtful that's for sure. Most likely he will just kill her instead. Usually if bettas haven't spawned within 12 hours they aren't going to without separation and conditioning.

Your two goldfish will soon outgrow the 10 gallon tank. You need to plan on getting them a much larger tank or trading them in on fish a better size for a 10 gallon.

Hope this helps.

There is about a 75% chance in my opinion that the beta male and female will mate in the tank. Sometimes the males get aggressive twards the females and kill one, so most breeders put in 2 females at a time. Early signs of pregnancy are bubbles forming at the top of the tank that the parents make to lay eggs in. DO NOT DISTURB THESE BUBBLES! The female will put her eggs in the bubbles and they may or may not hatch depending on how good the tanks condition is. As soon as they start to hatch you must take out the male and the female beta parents otherwise they will eat the babies. I don't think that you can add any other fish to the 10 gallon fish tank besides female bettas. I would not put the female bettas in if the male is acting aggressive. If you were planning on getting rid of the goldfish in the 10 gallon, then you can get community fish in the same tank as the betas depending on how aggressive the male is. Gold fish are aggressive tward other community fish believe it or not. I had a big gold fish and I caught it with a guppy half way in its mouth, and sadly by the time i was able to get it out, the guppy died. If the male is aggressive do not get any other fish. I would first test the male with the female to see if he is aggressive twards them. I have had a male beta in my 30 gallon tank with guppies, tetras, and other community fish and he was fine, but only because he wasn't very aggressive. The male betta may nip the fins of some of the community fish, but no serious injury will happen unless the male is aggressive. So to answer your questions, yes there is a good chance that they will mate, and yes you can get other fish in your 10 gallon tank if the goldfish are gotten rid of and the betta isn't aggressive.

Answer 3

You need a bigger tank for the goldfish, they produce too much ammonia for a 10 gallon. Bettas and goldfish can be housed together just fine. He'll hopefully calm down. The male and female pair must be quite inexperienced. They may spawn, but it will probably take a while. I've got a male and female housed together.

Answer 4

do no longer declare to be an authority in breeding betta fish. All i've got finished is amassed suggestion i've got researched with regard to the breeding of those alluring fish. In my analyze, there have been truly eye-catching issues that i've got got here across approximately the thank you to reproduce betta fish. For a initiate, you prefer a woman betta fish. those are quite complicated to return via. maximum petstores in basic terms inventory the extra flamboyant male bettas. besides the indisputable fact that, in case you seek complicated sufficient on the internet, or ask your community petstore good, they shall be pointed interior the suited path. lady betta fish are quite boring while in comparison with their male opposite numbers. some are quite colourful yet their fins are frequently plenty shorter than the boys. it is likewise achieveable to maintain lady betta fish collectively in an aquarium while you may no longer try this with men (in fact, you mustn't save the female betta with the male the two - or something that even looks remotely like a male betta eg fantail guppies - they are going to be attacked).

Answer 5

When breeding betta fish your suppose to put a male and a female together. The male will blow a bubble nest and the female will lay her eggs. Right after the female lays take her out of the tank because the male will kill her.

Answer 6

You can keep 2 female betta's in with 1 male and it will avoid breeding and fighting. If your male is flaring at the goldfish it probably won't kill them. Typically male betta's will attack anything vibrantly coloured. I found Molly's and some types of tetra's were good with my betta's. Just be careful if they start nipping at eachother because it can lead to infections etc.
