You know a female betta is ready when first of all the male has built his bubble nest. Second of all She has vertical stripes on her body like this ¡¡¡¡¡ not ------. Just if ya didnt know? :D And if she has a little white dot under her. I am actually looking right now for the same answer but its easier to go to Google.com and type in your question exactly. Hope that helped ha ha
It is uncommon for a female to swell up with eggs when there are no males present but this does happen sometimes. She will be fat in the abdomen, despite pooing (rule out constipation) the absence of scales sticking out (rule out dropsy) and a day or two without food (rule out full stomach). Feed her a low protein diet and lots of frozen peas. Any female betta will produce eggs when carefully conditioned for two weeks beforehand and then placed in the 'chimney' in a spawning tank (a large glass jar so the male can see her but not get to her.) She should remain here for three days to ensure she is full of eggs and ready to mate before she is let out, as otherwise the male will attack her.
She will develop horizontal lines the length of her body when she is ready to be bred.
:EDIT: She will also have a white speck behind her anal fins (in the middle of her belly), this is called her ovipositor.
Female betta fish lay eggs. If the female has vertical stripes that stand out, she is going to lay her eggs soon.
A female Betta in breeding condition will look plump and have a rounded tummy area.
If they are not too old and the female is ready, then they will mate.
When a female beta is ready to breed she develops a horizontal line the length of her body.
Ur betta is ready to breed
It means they are getting ready to MATE
Your betta fish is a female if she has smaller fins than an average male.
The male Betta does this because he can. He doesn't know if or when a female will come by, so to be on the safe side he keeps himself ready to impress a female if she does turn up.
If you can get a female of the same type as the male you have, that is best, but any female Betta will spawn with any male Betta provided they have the correct conditions and are both ready to breed.
Yes! Betta fish males can make bubble nests whether or not a female betta is present! Male bettas make nests when their home are in proper conditions and they are ready to breed.
Female bettas are usually less colorful and have short fins.
If you would like to know what gender your betta is, look for the egg spot. (for females) It should be a small white cloud between the head and body. If your betta has one, it's a female. If your betta doesn't have one, it's a male.
Maybe your female betta is a lesbian lol
