How do you breed Betta fish?

Answer 1

Breeding Bettas is a difficult and challenging endeavor. Also an expensive one. You will need a brooding tank that is no smaller than 10 gallons, a 40 to 50 gallon growing tank for the fry to grow up in, and upwards of 500 individual jars to put the new Bettas in once they are large enough. You will need a salt brine culture to feed the new-born, then a daphnia culture to feed them on once they are large enough. You will need a large room dedicated just to breeding and raising your Bettas. Unless you have lots of time, lots on money, and lots of space it is best to buy your Bettas from your local pet store.

if you have more than one betta fish, i advise you to put them in separate tanks because if you put more than one beta fish in one tank they would attack each other and they might die. When i was taking care of a beta fish i fed it three times a day and it worked out perfectly fine. if you want more information you should ask a pet store that sells betta fish.
First you need a 24"x12"x12" tank, a heater/thermostat set at 79F. Soft water and a mature pair of Beta splendens in breeding condition that have been kept apart. Some floating plants will help the male with his nest so they are a good idea too as is a few little hidey holes for the female to hide in when the male gets too rough. Add the female to the breeding tank first, wait overnight and add the male the next morning. Keep an eye on them. The male will start off by showing off (flashing his fins etc) to the female. He will build a nest of bubbles and plant bits and he will regularly drive the female under it. She will not stay until she is happy with the nest. Once she is happy they will take a position under the nest and the male will embrace the female and they will roll over trembling and then as they separate, the eggs (ova) will fall towards the bottom of the tank and the male will collect them in his mouth and blow them into the nest. This will continue until she is spawned out and the male drives her away. The female must now be removed from the tank before the male kills her.

Indeed blood parrots are hybrids between the 'Red Head Cichlid' and the 'Red Devil' (or I would guess sometimes 'Midas') cichlid. My personal experience that a number of forums will agree with is that the females for the majority fertile. However, the majority of males are sterile like the flowerhorn cichlid (another hybrid). If you pair a female blood parrot and a male Central American cichlid (no South American ones) and they lay without any other complicating factors you will get fry. A good example of a blood parrot hybrid is the jelly bean parrot (or just jelly bean cichlid). The only other thing to consider is that blood parrots are occasionally hormone treated to bring out adult coloration quicker because they 'fade' into their orange color the same way Red Devils do. I have been told that these treatments can make fertile fish sterile compounding the situation.

Answer 3

In order to breed bettas, you can purchase what is called a breeder tank which keeps the female safe from the male until he is ready. His signal that he is ready to breed is by building a bubble nest.

Once the bubble nest is complete, you can release the female into the tank with him, and he will basically squeeze the eggs from her.
Once this is done, you should remove the female from the tank, and the male will tend to the eggs.

Breeding bettas is potentially deadly to the female, so this should only be done by someone with enough experience breeding bettas

Answer 4

You have to have two tanks (10-20 gallon). First put the male in(the male should have more colour then the female)the tank wit out any other fish in but have plant in the tank when he is in condition he will build a bubble nest.Next introduce a good condtioned female. The male will be interested in the female under the bubble nest. As each egg is laid and fertilized he will blow a bubble around it and put it in the bubble nest. when the spawning is finished remove the female and the male will protect and care for the fish.
So that you may understand or retain the information, if I were you, I would go to the internet and type in betta breeding, so you could print yourself a copy of how to breed bettas, go to a book store a pet shop and purchase a betta breeding book for future reference, their are many details that I might overlook if I had not only to type, or even explain to a person in general. There is a lot of time involved,that is why some call it a hobby.

Answer 5

There are almost as many different ways of breeding fish as there are different species. Firstly you research and obtain knowledge about the particular species of fish you wish to breed. You then prepare an environment which will fulfill those specifications perfectly. If you have done everything correctly the fish will breed and then your only problem will be to rear the young followed by the problem of disposing of the young fish you have reared (if any)

Answer 6

A very easy fish to get to breed are convict cichlids. Buy a male and female from your local store (cheap) They will make a nest and lay eggs on a flat rock. They will actively guard the nest and babies. You can do this in a 15 gallon tank. Make sure you put a flat rock and a 'cave' in the tank for them.

Start with easy breeding fishes.
