Once the fry become free swimmers the adult male needs to be removed before he eats them. The babies will need to be fed very fine/microscopic food. This is available in most good pet shops. As they grow they will need to be moved into larger tanks and their food can slowly get bigger. When they are about 1/2 inch + long some will be starting to show that they are males by their colouring and fin development as well as their behavoiur. These will need to be placed in their own containers to grow on. A successfull spawning could easily produce over 100 males and the same amount of females.

∙ 14y agoYa, if you put a male and female in a tank for a few hours. Once the female is done laying eggs take the male and female from from the tank and keep them seperate. If you don't remove them they will eat the eggs. In about a week they will hatch. And in about a month they will be full grown. That is the soonest the fish go again.

∙ 11y agoBetta fish eggs are not sold in stores as standard. Typically, when you buy a betta in the store, it's already about 2 years old as it takes a long time to get their nice fins.
If you would like to try breeding them, you will need proper tanks, and of course a male and female betta that can only be together for the breeding phase, but then must be separated after; the male remains with the bubble nest as he cares for them rather than the female.

A tiny bit of unadulterated, finely shredded, tuna flesh would be OK occasionally, provided the Betta recognises it as food. On no account leave any uneaten food in the tank it will foul the water and kill the Betta.
