Wait, she's in her own 5g that is next to his? That's probably the whole problem your having. I always put my female in a large vase/cup and set that in where the male is. he can see her better.

That is very good to know. Haven't heard from our breeder today. How's the male's nest comin? how's the female? she still showing bars?

You can look on Aquabid for some, or even go to a local pet store and see if they know where to get them, or the Indian almond leaf extract stuff. If they don't have either, you can go the alternative way. Find an oak leaf in a park somewhere, whether it's on the tree or the ground it doesn't...

I've had this issue before. are you putting Indian almond leaves in the water? It helps the males with breeding. Also, I had a Veil tail, that had bubble nests popping, so I put the bottom half of a styrofoam cup for him to nest in, and that worked, actually.

How deep is the water?

Re: Post Pics of your Betta here! Really? It shows me pictures. Very weird.

It can take the male up to a few days to have it complete. If it takes more then 3-4 days you may want to restage him for breeding.

So good to hear. Take pics of the nest for me? And him and her when you introduce them? I'm rootin for ya. :)

Post Pics of your Betta here! I figured this would be a really good thread for everyone to share pics of there Betta. I guess we can also use it as a "visual question" thread to. So without further ado, here are my Bettas I have now, (my avatar is one I have on order from Thailand) In order...

What I do, is put the male in his bare tank, with a sponge filter, and I feed him frozen bloodworms. thawed, of course. then put the female in a vase, for about a week. usually that gets em to make nests as well. There are a few diff ways to go about it. but as long as he's making the nest, and...

I would very much like to look at some of your fry, when they are ready. Have you ever bred before? If not I can help you through here the whole way. I am a breeder, myself. I specialize in Halfmoons, and Dragonscale VTs. Enjoy. And best of luck!! It is such a fun, and rewarding thing to do. I...

As far as I understand, Gouramis and Bettas do not get along, and will often times fight each other, usually to the Betta's eventual death. Now, I've also been told don't house bettas with Platys, but I have and they got along just fine. So with that said, I think it's on a fish by fish basis...

Whoops. And this is flirt. she didn't go through. she's also a veil tail female I'm thinking. possibly a female delta. [/img]

My Bettas! Well here are some pics of my Bettas I have now. I will also post pics of some males/females I will be buying off AB as my breeding pairs. I hope you all enjoy my boys, and girls!

Re: Yo from Kennewick Thanks for all the warm welcomes, guys. It feels kinda good, actually. I plan to read everything in the Betta section, make sure it's accurate. There's lots of bad info, and it sometimes gets by even veterans of the species. I am actually going to be breeding very rare...
