Breeding Our Betta Fish (Episode 1)

How to breed betta fish and set up their breeding tank. Today we start the process of breeding our betta fish. The breeding tank is a 10 gallon filled up half way. We have our heater set at 82f and a sponge filter running on very low. The parents are a Galaxy Koi black, red and blue male and a Yellow and black marble female both are Plakat bettas. They are first time parents and at this point are doing really well. We conditioned the female before adding her into the tank. She was fed several times a day with high protein foods to help her produce eggs.

Male betta hurt the female because the female have a high ego, and the male hurt the female just to drop the ego

Most of the Males I used in breeding were very good with the Female. The whole aggression thing is due mainly from them being kept separated most of their lives due to ignorance thus forming very bad social skills. 1 thing we did was to keep all the fry together in a large 30 gallon tank thru adulthood. Very shocking to see groups form, like us behavior starts at birth. There were always a few bad apples and those guys were separated out....by the way these bad apples are what give people the reinforcement to the myth that Males are very abusive. The rest all lived together relatively peaceful lives...a few occasional spats but that's normal for any life form. Just have to be extra watchful in the Juvenile stage to get those bad seeds out.

Very glad to see a comment like this as they are few and far between but i have heard many success stories with fry being raised together in a community (of course separating the troublemakers) but i wish more people would realize some have very successful tanks like this. Most just dont want to hear it and arent willing to accept that this is possible and conditioning them from fry really shapes personalities and behavior. Really enjoyed your comment and brought a smile to my face just reading it👍

How do you keep your male and female together without fighting? Lol, I had to separate mine, my female attacked my male and beat him up pretty good. He's fine and recovering well. But, no breeding she had her stripes too.

I'm so excited to see this! You are doing an awesome job! 💙 The bubble wrap is a good idea. My almond leaf fell at one point..so this is more stable. I also find it super interesting how its a bit different then what my pair did. Different behaviours, same outcome. So cool to watch.

After the first one we bought aquarium-safe silicone and sealed the dividers in place, just for our own piece of mind, and so far so good on that! Our bettas are so happy and we can't thank you enough!!

Lifewithpets. I replied before I finished watching! Continued good wishes eggs hatch and babies are all healthy. I used to breed bettas almost 20 years ago and sell them on aquabid and among breeder friends. It's a lot of work, but very rewarding. I haven't bred in many years but I always have bettas in the house as pets!😊

@Lifewithpets72 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, the work I'm not looking forward too but I'm very committed to it. I already do lots of water changes on several guppy fry tanks so one more won't make a difference I guess. It will be when we have to start jarring them that the real work begins!

@renees2480 6 жыл бұрын

When you start jarring them when you can start sexing and have dozens of jars to clean everyday, that's when the real work begins! 😉

After watching dexters world I gathered some helpful hints.. I’m sure you are following them while not filming.. but sealing off the top with a cover/plastic wrap to keep the moisture in the tank to keep the bubbles from popping and also lots of privacy and dim lighting :) still halfway through your video in case you do mention these and I sound like a typical yt commentator
