Hi,
I have put my male and female betta in a breeding tank. The male was in there prior for about a week and then i introduced the female in a breeder box for a further week. Then i added her to the tank, the male meanwhile had a very big bubble nest. She was displaying vertical stripes which was a steady indicator that she was ready to breed. When i introduced her, there was the basic chasing i expected and the hiding of the female, but she had not sustained any ripped fins or wounds. She is now hiding in my tank from the male, but her doesnt try to attack her, but she still flees at his first site. Her is flaring at her gently and is showing off his fins but doesnt attack her. I have been wondering if i should just leave them to get on with it or to intervene and remove her and put her back in the breeder box. Her behavior is very lethargic when around the tank but she does come to eat and get air but remains at the bottom and rests, can I have some help ?
