Pregnant Betta?

Question

when u guy say white spot. is it a white spot poping out in her belly?

Answer 1

Yep, a white spot like in the link above means she is ready to breed. Here's some detils on a good way to breed them.

Breeding tank: A 10 gallon makes a good breeding tank for bettas. Place in on a dark surface and set it up with no gravel or decorations. Use a small sponge filter and a heater. maintain the heat at 78-82, the temerature is not really that critical. Using a hood is a good idea to hold in heat and moisture.

Conditioning: Condition the male in the breeding tank. Condition the female in a seperate tank and be sure they cannot see each other. Feed well on frozen or live foods alternating with flakes or pellets for at least a week. The female should be plump with eggs and the male should be flaring and showing his best color, maybe even building a bubble nest.

Spawning: Drop the water level in the breeding tank to about 5" deep. Place the female in a bowl or other container next to the breeding tank so that the male can see her. As soon as there is a good bubble nest in the breeding tank add the female. Check for eggs in the bubble nest every few hours. You know they are finished when the female is hiding from the male and he no longer leaves the nest to chase her down. He will also not be trying to attract her to the nest. At this time remove the female from the breeding tank. If they fail to breed within a few hours go back and repeat the conditioning steps for a week.

Eggs and fry: The eggs will hatch in 2 days. At first the male will collect the babies and return them to the bubble nest, this is normal. Once you see that the babes are able to swim in a normal fashion, remove the male. Now is the time to start feeding the babies. Feed them newly hatched brine shrimp, micro worms or vinegar eels. Feed several times a day for the first week to 10 days. At that time you can start addig some powdered flake food to their diet and begin increasing the water level in the tank.

Care: The babies need very clean water. Do a 50% or more water change every day and be sure to remove any uneaten food or dead babies that you see. Keeping the water clean and changed very often is one of the major keys to sucess. Be sure you cull the brood. Culling is to remove unwanted fish. Remove any deformed fish right away and destroy them.

Rearing and selection: Eventually you will need to split the batch as they will over crowd the 10 gallon. Removing the females to another tank is the best way. The males can stay together without a problem. Continue to feed quality foods of increasing size working your way up to frozen or adult brine shrimp and continue to do large daily water changes. Once they begin to develop color, you should cull based on color. Keep the color you like and remove the rest. Even if you started with two reds you will get a few that are not red or are not evenly colored. If they are near adult size a shop should buy them from you or at least give you some store credit. Be ruthless, keep only the very best to breed with next time around.

The males can stay together basically for their entire lives as long as you never seperate them. Once seperated even for a day they will begin to fight so keep that in mind.

Best of luck and stick with it, you'll have baby betta before you know it!

Answer 2

hiya, Do you have a male betta? woman betta don't have stay infants. woman betta's are egg layers. and you are able to have a male betta by using fact he's the single which seems after the eggs and the infants. the female has not something to do with the infants. The male has to make a bubble nest and that's once you already know that mating can start up. the female lays her eggs in the bubble nest and the male fertilizes them. The eggs stay in this nest till start heavily taken care of via the father ( male betta ). woman and male won't be able to stay in the comparable fish tank although. they'll kill one yet another or purely one will proceed to exist. they could purely be at the same time for a quick time and that's throughout mating purely. Then as quickly as you notice that the eggs have been layed you're taking the female out by using fact she will pass after the male like a mad chicken in revenge by using fact the male is drained after making the bubble nest. So your woman could be full of eggs yet she won't have infants without a male and a bubble nest. sturdy luck consisting of your betta and characteristic exciting and revel in you fish.

Answer 3

Bettas don't become pregnant but yes when the female is full of eggs the white spot sticks out of her belly.

Answer 4

Yes, it gets more prominent when she is ready to breed, it looks like this:

Bettas don't actually get pregnant, instead they get gravid (full of unfertilised eggs), so she won't actually have any offspring hatch unless a male fertilises the eggs when she lays them, don't try this unless you have done your homework on bettas, breeding them can be risky to both parents and will not work unless it is done properly.
