Some people say 🗣️breeding betta is hard and taking care of the fry is easy Me:breedings easy taking care of the fry is hard
Easy set up problem is sometimes female doesn’t want to breed
Everything hard for me hahaha
I bought what was supposed to be 2 female bettas online to start my female betta tank and well I guess I got sent a male and a female and now I have a bunch of betta fry everywhere in my tank
lucky guy
@@GeorgeOfThisJunglefr bro can you help me set up my tank and stuff I’m new to thiz
@@XebecXv well here are some tips to get started get atleast 5 gallon (if you can't afford a 10 gallon) if you wish to just have the betta in the tank if you are planning to get him mates then atleast 10 gallon, next you need to make sure there good amount of hiding space, but no sharp decor or one with small holes coz they are curious being an will end up getting stuck, if you can have planted tank then try plants from the top it helps with ammonia levels and also always have almond/catappa leaves around. You can switch between different kinds of foods to keep things interesting for your fella or fifi (😂idk what a female version of fella is)
If you need any more tips let me know. I have spider plant, peace lily and lucky bamboo along with some pothos from top of my tank coz I wasn't successful with underwater plants
i really gotta say… that gecko in the very beginning threw me through a loop
just stumbled across your channel, love it!
Awesome video! I have a couple of questions. When your male is in the tank for the first 3 days, do you keep a light on 24/7 so he can pick up the fry all the time? My other question is when you start feeding the vinegar eels or infusoria, what is your feeding schedule? Does this change when you switch over to BBS? Oh and 1 more question, did you have to use multiple disc BBS hatcheries to have a continuous supply of BBS? I have one and it works awesome but wondering if 1 is enough. Thanks so much!
I can definitely answer this for you! I do not leave the light on for the male. I do the same light/dark cycle as my other tanks. I’ve has no issue getting hundreds of fry still.
I try and feed 3-4 times a day. Normally
I get 3 times at this age. I just look at their stomachs and feed once their no longer full. Pretty much stays the same form the beginning. Once they get older I will feed even more often to get some faster growth. I’m able to store some baby brine in the fridge for the 12hr it takes me to hatch new brine shrimp. In the past i have also run 2 hatcheries and offset them to always have fresh hatched bbs.
@@pnwbettas Perfect, thanks so much! Can’t wait for updates on these babies 🤩
What does it mean if my fry isn’t swimming horizontally by day 3?
If they are alive, just give them time
How long the female lay eggs after mating? Because after i separate female on another tank..she lay many eggs..or maybe i separate them quickly after i saw some eggs on nest???
i am an experianced betta breeder that breeds over4 years but i have a pair they breeded already 1 time a few months aggo but now they just dont breed aggan they are toghether over 72 hours i cleaned the tank changed water they ated the female has eggs in her stomach the man buld a really big bubble nest but the female is just not intessted
Very nice video!!! Where’s the 4-8 weeks??
Bhaiya, what are your plans for so many betta fishes in the future? [07:05] I’m also thinking about starting fish breeding, but I’m concerned about what I’ll do with more than 50+ betta fishes down the line. Would really appreciate your advice and guidance on this!
I own a betta specialty online and retail shop. I don't do much breeding anymore, but when I did I would just sell them online. This is not what I recommend for most breeders, it took me years to grow my website, and I had a large social media following before I even started it. And now I it's my full time job, and I have a local fish store.
Check with local fish stores, local aquarium societies (some do auctions for hobby bred fish), or local facebook groups for selling/rehoming. Generally locally is the best way to go 👍
First, your channel is amazing, can you name a fish taco?
Sure why not. I haven’t names the male I bred in this video, so we shal call him Taco now.
@@pnwbettas YAY!!!!
My bettas destroyed the bubble nest and few collected eggs didn't hatch 😢
It was a behavior
random question but, would you recommend putting the parent fish in a salt bath for a short period of time after breeding if they have fin rips? Or just let them heal naturally. Thanks!
The bubble wrap idea is awesome. I will try that as it seems that protects the bubbles from breaking when they are left on the free surface alone with no support. Thanks for sharing your passion with bettas. I’ve had the opportunity to see wild bettas in Thailand. They are pretty small but very intense colors.
I woke up the next day n the eggs was gone so wwas the bubble nest
Thank you for actually talking in your video much appreciated 🫶🫶
why is the water brown
tannins. search up "blackwater aquariums." basically, there are some plants/organic materials (stuff like leaves and wood) you can put in water that will release lots of tannins, which turns the water dark. it looks dirty, but it actually has health benefits for the fish, like preventing fungal diseases. i don't think you can use just any organic material to create the effect though; a common example is indian almond leaves
Most likely it’s Indian almond leaves there great for betta fish or tannings
My male betta is cutting with female. I tried with many different betta (female and male) but male cutting to female. Now female is in the corner of tank.what can i do?😢
Wow bagus sekali ikannya makanannya apa boleh minta nggak
Bro the breeding the easy part
I don't even know how to feed them fry
I like your video and i loved to watch❤❤
What is the size of the bucket you use for spawning?
5 gallon
I have a question i have a bunch of frozen brine shrimp but i have none of the vinegar stuff u have is it okay if i feed them that instead?
Is there any other alternative other than live , could I use crushed up flakes or something I rlly don’t like feeding live
Not if you want to breed no. You will end up starving a good portion of the spawn and not get good survival rates
Pls upload more betta vedios love from kerala
what in the good lord are vinegar eels...
Is there not a 4-8 week video??
Fry look like tentacools
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT NET 💖
❤❤❤
I love your set up ❤
They swim in pee?
Beautiful video ty. At one point do you turn on ur sponge filter? I didn't see any bubbles. Thanks
I put it on once the males nest fully breaks down the the fry are free swimming :))
I only have access to bloodworms so what should i do with frys?
Not breed honestly. Bloodworms won’t be sufficient food for bettas this small, they won’t be able to eat them. I also wouldn’t suggest feeding one food like that from this small of an age.
Having live cultures like vinegar eels and hatching out baby brine shrimp are pretty essential in my opinion. They need live food small enough for them to eat.
My fires end up dying after feeding brine shrimp please can anyone help me out
One possibility is that you are feeding too much and they aren’t all getting eaten. You want to make sure you remove any uneaten dead ones off the bottom of the fry tank.
Can u tell me the places u buy bettas cuz i want to start a store filled with bettas but beautiful can u tell me where to buy them
I import all my own fish. I am actually a betta retailer in the US, so these are two fish I imported and decided to keep and breed.
I sell all my fish on my website which is www.Pnwbettas.com
😇
You make it look so easy.... I've struggled already for year's and months now that I've dedicated myself to it but still struggling my fry are fine then just boom all gone... 😢
I've had that problem as well, been thinking about breeding fish again
That because you never feed them,you should feed them with artemia
And you should take away the male after the fry's hatching for 10 days
And don't forget to feed the male too
You've been feeding them, right? They need infusoria, and I've also heard of them being fed hard boiled egg yolk dissolved into water.
Will these bettas be sold on ur website?
Eventually! But it likely won’t be till September. I’m taking some summer classes and will be pretty much pausing all sales during that time since it’s in another city :)
@@pnwbettas good luck with the summer classes! When will ur next restock be?
@@anjalipie I’m posting a few fish today at 12pm pacific! But I won’t have nearly as many as last weekend. I have a few hybrids, a few dumbo platinum Halfmoons, and a few crowntails. And like one Halfmoon female
Very nice ❤
Thanks 🤗
Why is the water orange??
Tannines lowering the PH. Must use botanicals for these fish to reproduce!
Dried leaves and driftwood leech a brown substance into the water known as tannins. Tannins provide nutrients for beneficial microorganisms, bacteria, and plants. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It also softens water and lower its ph, which is ideal for certain plants and fish (like betta).
An aquarium intentionally kept with a high amount of tannins is known as a “blackwater” aquarium.
It’s often used by very serious aquarists who are replicating nature in a box. For example, some cichlids live in the blackwaters of the Amazon River, so some people will reproduce that exact kind of environment for their fish.
It’s a very tedious process. Some people think it’s beautiful, and other people think it makes the tank look dirty. All depends on what you think an aquarium should look like/how it should serve the fish.
Tannins are quite literally tea! When you steep a tea bag, you are leeching the tannins out of it. ☕️🫖
