BETTA JARS

[mrplaty]

when you breed bettas and the males start to show aggression how big do the jars that you put them in have to be

Wouldn't it follow the same guildlines as if you were keeping a betta by itself? 1G+ recommended, 1Q if you're really really really clean?

A few breeders use the beanie bear boxes and they hold 2 litres of water

It doesn't sound a lot but these guys are so small when you jar them that they have plenty of room to swim around in. The last of my juvies are still in boxes and they are 4 months old now and still have room

Take a look in the pinned topic for breeding, Wuv has some excellent tips for breeding and raising bettas

[Joby]

I got mine from here Beanie boxes and they were delivered in excellent condition Its cheaper if you order more than 20 of them

 

[mrplaty]

I am using Pickle jars, and canning jars I had left over from Oct. when I made applesauce..You can get canning jars really cheap at Walmart in housewares, and they come with lids - about 10 or 15 to a pack. About as big as those plastic Hexagon tanks they sell at your local petstore, sept they are glass.
