Sorry Neo - Didn't mean to sound patronisingNeo wrote:yeah im sure been breeding fish for years, today there is about 60 wrigglers anyone want some when they are large enough??
I've never tried betta's but i was under the impression they had to be conditioned and they only breed when it rains and all sorts.

what ive learned from them so far is simply get a male and female lol
no seriously....
Get a small tank one of those £7.99 plastic things, half fill it of water and let it reach room temp for at least 24hrs
Get a male and female, best to get a few actually and maybe a few tanks as we did, get the males settled in keep the female in a jar next to it that he can see, within 24hrs he should have built his bubble nest
put in a female and forget about them for another 12 - 24hrs, after this time u should see the male guarding eggs and the female getting chased away, this is where you take her out.... now 24 - 48hrs later you will have little fry that kinda drop down n fly up, the male will catch them in his mouth and put them back in the nest.
After 5 days when the fry are free swimming take out the male and feed the fry on microworm at least twice a day untill they are large enough for flake etc, another way to do it if you cant get microworm is to get some flake and some of the water from their tank and blend it untill its all liquid.
i bought my brother 4 pair, lost 2 females though and had to get new ones, its normal for the male to sometimes kill her and already we have 3 lots of fry 50+ each hatching
Also if the male is constantly attacking the female b4 they spawn get her out and after anotehr 24hrs try and replace her with another female
hope this helps
