When the pair mate, the male wraps himself around the female and squeezes to release the eggs from her body. At the same time he releases milt, the fluid containing his sperm. The eggs are fertilised as they come out, by the time you see them floating to the bottom they are already fertilised. This is why you often get a large percentage of infertile eggs if the female is larger than the male (and he cannot wrap around her properly) or if the male is inexperienced and he doesn't get it right.
Yes, the male will build a bubble nest at the top of the tank. If the female likes it, she will let the male wrap around her and she will release her eggs, as the eggs are released the male will fertilize them. Once she has released all of her eggs, the males will swim to the bottom of the tank and pick up each of the eggs and place them in the bubble nest where they will soon hatch.
Yes!
No. A male Betta is needed to spawn out the female and fertilise her eggs.
The answer is yes. Fish do need at least one male in the tank to fertilies the eggs. However in some cases the fish will first lay the eggs then the male will fertilize them.
the male betta does, the female just swims away.
no. the male betta just cares for the eggs. the male betta does somthing to the female called an embrace, he basicly hugs the eggs out of her than he kills the female or his just fights with her until she leaves him alone. then he cares for the eggs until hatching.
the female betta fish are released from a vent while a male embraces her
The male will make a bubble nest when the female is about to lay her eggs.
A barracuda reproduces by laying eggs. She will do this when the water begins to get warmer. The male fish will then fertilize the eggs.

Yes. As with all birds a male is needed to fertilize the eggs.
The male Betta builds a bubble nest at the surface of the water. The ova(eggs) are fertilised under the nest then collected by the male in his mouth as they sink. He then places them in the nest where he tends them.
I am not certain but here is some information it will probably die but this will usually happen when your male betta fish is caring for the eggs because the betta is scared it might do an accident and eat one of its eggs instead of the betta foods that you give it
All fish can lay eggs without a male present. The male and female fish do not meet during reproduction. Eggs are fertilized only once they leave the female's body. The male will come later to fertilize them with his sperm after the female fish has laid the eggs and left
