first time breeding bettas

First topic message reminder :

okay i got her in my vase in his tank. she floating up on the surface not doing anythin but shes been hiding all day. my big boy is flaring a little trying to get her to re-act. fed them blood worms wat else should i do?

I'm hoping that some of these fry will be good enough to send to the IBC shows next spring. They should be there out of Karens show winning stock.

okay thx u guys wen i try again ill now more bout it

ya i under stand maybe if i hav any good ones with my multi boy and one of ur girls and my other that would be good with showing. if i do hav any u can show them!!

They have to be shown by the breeder.

oh well thats wierd i guess its different in their shows compare to horse shows. the trainer rider or a friend can show a horse but mainly the owner or trainer. but if i do hav nice ones could u sell them and the one who buys can show them?

No. On the application form that has to be filled out to show your fish it will ask who the breeder is.

pilli good luck i know that tank is way to big when i dint know cr@p about bettas i breed regular bettas on the trays were you can keep two divided i was amazed they really dont need much space but a 2.5 is a great size i bought one for when mine are ready to breed in thai they keep then in the pet store cups and they seem to breed all day i dont agree with them but its the truth so good luck trust i cant wait either

ricardo unless I miss understood you they don't breed Bettas in the pet store in those little cups.

i think he said they breed them in the cups that the fish store uses

sorry guys i meant in thailand they house them in those little cups and still manage to breed them in small little bowls i was watching them on you tube their jars are not even bigger than a masson jar

wow! I couldn't see my Purkle being in anything less than the 10g he is in now, he loves the play room!
His finnage is getting quite impressive too, I'm going to have to take another pic of him so yall can see how well he is growing!.... Oh whisper, can I feed him blood worms from time to time now?

plz do i would luv to see ur boy looking all handsome

fern i would they love them but stick to pro and bbs from time to time some worms i want to hear whispers answer

Yes Fern at least twice a week or even more if you want along with BBS. Remember they are carnivors and love meat. ..........Fern I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of my baby boy.

I just wanted to make sure he was old enough for them
He is looking very handsome! Not sure when I will get pics because I have to move his tank.... not easy with it being planted. But I will get a few soon!

Oh yes he's old enough. He was eating them when he was here.
