how 2 mate a male fighter with a female 1?

Answer 1

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 temperature 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 separate 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 adding 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 success. 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 separate them. Once separated 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

by fighter i am assuming you mean siamese fighting fish or bettas. You should check out this website; bettatalk.com. It is a great site that tells you step by step more or less. Bettas are really not that difficult to breed, the hard part is keeping the babies alive. Go to the website, and your local library and find out all that you can before you attempt it, and focus on what can go wrong, or what went wrong for other people, and make sure you don't make the same mistakes. Good luck! It is an amazing experience to breed the little guys and raise the fry into beautiful adults.

Answer 3

Bettas tolerate any fish without long, flowing fins it may mistake as a Male Betta, on the grounds that they continuously attempt to be the "prettiest" fish interior the tank. So, any form of fish which incorporate neon tetras will do super. in case you like a cleansing team, I recommend corydora catfish, they're backside-dwellers that scavange the tank around for leftover nutrition, and do a reliable pastime at helping you with the upkeep. :) Plus, they're quite lovable. steer away from getting them with nippy fish which incorporate tiger barbs, on the grounds that they're going to rip your betta's fins -- additionally, are not getting zebra danios except you have a huge tank, on the grounds that they're so hyperactive they could tire or malicious program the betta. reliable success!

Answer 4

If you mean bettas, you have to wait till the male makes a bubble nest then you put the female in and they will fight a little and then they will breed after she lays the eggs take her out and he will take care of them till they hatch. :P

Answer 5

Answer 6

why don't you set up a nice soft bed (underwater) and dim the lights, and make sure that the male is drunk off beta-light so that the female look extra good to him that one special night.
