Betta breeding

[Aniket]

I put female and male together before 7 hrs ago. now female showing vertical stripes and she sometimes get stay head down and tail up for short period and after that she run fast. Male made bubble nest. Is it close to spawning.

Just leave them together and monitor them. They will breed when they are ready.

If the male attacks the female, then move her out for a few weeks.

These are breeding stripes an indication that the female is ready.

These are fear or stress stripes

is it about horizontal stripes for fear and vertical for breeding?
