Ozzy X Zoe

[Jaded12]

I figure if I set up enough spawns that one is bound to work out right? So I put one more pair together! Ozzy and Zoe, according to the lady I bought them from they have already spawned successfully once before! Let me know what you think!

And a video!

i noticed in all of your posts on the spawns set up u use a dried out leaf for cover. does this help encourage that males? or do u have those in there all the time?

those look like IAL (indian almond leaf) which softens and acidifies the water and adds trace elements to the water which bettas seem to appreciate. its a bit like using blackwater extract. lots of breeders use it. some thai imports require it in the water and wild types almost definitely need it.

Correct. The male squeezes the eggs out of the female and holes them in his anal fin to fertilize them.


Congrats on the breeding!
