  • Betta splendens prespawning behavior to eggs....This is typical breeding behavior of Betta splendens over 24 hours. I am no longer working with this line, but if it helps a newbie understand betta breeding behavior, I'm leaving it up. There are so many other videos on conditioning the pair and all of that jazz. ;-)
    Music in this video is by Hazmat Modine. Photos of some of the fry from this spawn from 2011 can be found at s18.photobucket...

    I have two halfmoons in a 10 gallon 80 degrees after male made a bubble nest and female showing verticle bars. he has been chasing her around for over 2 hours so far and i was just wondering how long this might go on and how long the whole process might take. SHould I leave them together overnight? I have dim lights on the tank now should i turn them off at night if so? any advice would be greatly appreciated:)

    It is normaI for both the male and female to be aggressive. If the tank is bare, add more live plants. Use your best judgement on when to remove the female and consider it a failed spawn. After 48 hours and no spawn, the chances of bettas spawning are low.

    I need some help, I was wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on what I could be doing wrong with the Bettas I bre about six months ago. I have eleven of them from my first attempt in breading Siamese fighting fish. I feed them regularly and my water temperature is at a constant 82 degrees to help with digestion. I also do regular water changes to remove any waste and hormones that may be affecting their growth. I think they look really healthy since they are in a sense perfect without missing scales or ripped fins. I hope that in time they develop their pelvic fins. I uploaded some videos so you can see what I'm talking about, please help.

    1# put male and female betta into a tank ( 3 gallon recommended )
    2# wait until 1 day 4 hour or you wait until you can sea a bubble nest with their eggs
    3# take out the female betta from the breeding tank and let the male betta to take care their eggs
    4# the eggs will hacth about 48 hours
    5# take out the male betta from the tank until the fry can free swimming or 48 hours after their hacth
    6# feed the fry with brine shirmp or artemia

    I have been loving bettas all my adult life ,Yes breeding is fun. But now it serious,they hurt each other they spawn and usually he runs her off, worse case they hate each other wont breed and are just abusive, best I put in a pair same time in 20 gallan tank,dont need 20 gallaon,10,5 will do, hell tupper wear will do. they spawned in at 5pm spawned 2am, babies hatched in 2am ,today most are a live and swimming vertical, dads been out snce babies werbouncing around , no cup, no special water

    OMG this music! Man Trouble by Hazmat Modine is horrible with this video. Please remove it. Yes, I can mute it but it's really bad. It ruined the experience. Now I can't stop hearing it.

    k i tried to breed my mustard gas dragsonscale male with my red crowntail female and she had the vertical stripes on her and the male had built the bubble nest and they soon stopped to flare at each other so i let her out of her jar just like in the video but after that all she did was just stay in the other corner away from the male so what can i do to help?

    I put mine together and they looked all good, then the male just bit down on her back fin and wouldn't let go, so I freaked out and seperated them...
    But then I see videos where they put cardboard over the top and don't even check them for 24-48hrs and they're both alive and it worked...
    I just don't want my fish to kill each other
