Question

please help asap

Answer 1

the link below has everything you need.

if you got your male from a petstore, he's probably already too old to breed. they're their most fertile between 8 months and a year old. most petstore bettas are over a year old.

you need a ton of tanks, ready and waiting for your bettas, including a 10 gallon for the deed, a 20 gallon for grow out and several DOZEN one gallons ready to seperate off males when they get aggressive. also bare in mind betta babies grow SLOW, so you won't have real saleable bettas until their 3 months old, and those 1 gallon tanks will need DAILY water changes, and you could end up with anything from none, to 300 babies. and be prepared to cull any deformed babies, not many people have spare time for special needs bettas.

the usual spawn size is usually under 150, and a good size managable spawn is about 30-60.

as for the actual deed, the pair need to first be matched in size, if one is significantly larger than the other, they will shread the smaller one, or not be able to wrap properly. breeding a pair where you know their background and genetics is best too, even spawn siblings, that way you get much more stunning babies that will be able to rehome much easier.

the pair need to be conditioned for at least 2 weeks, with immaculate water, IAL helps, and top quality food, live etc. in this time they can be introduced with the female seperate in a glass chimney...the link below sums this up much better

research this before you go into it, and plan! or you may end up destroying your pair before you've even started.

Answer 3

You might want to get a book on breeding bettas, but whatever you do do not put them in a normal tank together, he will kill her as soon as they are done breeding. You need to get a breeding bowl, and net out the male as soon as they are done, you need to be watching at all time, the eggs will need to go sorta under the bottom of the bowl so that the parents do not eat them. you need to understand all of this completly or esle they might die, the female. get a book from the library, in fact get a few books on breeding bettas.

Answer 5

Keep them in the same tank and be sure to provide space for the female to hide. Also be sure your Betta is in a tank not a little bowl. The smallest tank I have for bettas is a 10 gallon.

Answer 6

I try to eat salmon like once a week at a minimum. The Omega 3's are good for us.

To get them to breed, maybe play some barry white and pour the bubbly. Tickle her on her belly, just to set the mood, dim the lights and let nature take its course.

Answer 7

put them in the same tank make sure the water temp is right put plats to give them privacy and leave them together with no other fish for a couple of days and give them plenty to eat (every day one feeding will be fine)

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
