I hope you are not keeping your male and female betta together in the main tank? They need to be carefully conditioned and ready to breed before they are put together in the spawning tank, and even then you might want to keep an eye so he doesn't beat her up.

Breeding bettas is not like breeding guppies, it takes quite a bit of planning, and a certain amount of financial outlay. Have you got a big enough growing out tank for the fry, and the space to separate the male fry as they grow up, and an outlet for your new bettas? Are you aware that they can have hundreds of fry?

Properly breeding bettas and raising their fry can easily set you back a couple of hundred dollars. That's all I'm gonna say.

how cum so much

Because of all the things you need, and after they hit a month old they demand good food....and lots of it!

Overall, aside from money, it takes lots and lots of time. You must truly dedicate yourself to them for the first six weeks. Countless daily feedings & daily water changes. It's no picnic in the park.

how do i treat my male and female bettas to make them breed what type of stuf do i need

 

[wuvmybetta]

Theres several different things. The most commonly practiced is "conditioning" them by keepng them in clean,clean water for a couple weeks while feeding them live/frozen food twice a day.

I've moved this to the betta board for you, and yes I have molly and krib juvies at the moment.

If you're wanting fry and never bred before, i would highly recommend starting with guppies and or platy's. You don't have to condition them, they just do it - you can't stop them!
Betta's as said before are expensive and very time consuming. They need daily water changes and several meals a day with live food. Which means you need to baby brine shrimp hatcheries running simultaniously to make sure your fry always have food. You can have up to 300 fry and possibly half of those could be male which after 6 weeks you'll have to individually jar to eliminate fighting.
The Livebearer fry (guppies, platy's, mollys etc.) seem to be a lot heartier as well. Betta fry are extremely sensitive.
