What Else Can I Feed My Bettas 2 Incrase Them Breeding

[fishykisses]

i would get 2 more females - the ratio for male to female should be 1 male to 2 females. If it's one to one the female will get harrassed too much.
You'll notice one day that y our females tummy looks ready to burst and about 2-7 days later, you'll have fry.
If you're going to leave the fry in that tank, you'll need LOTS of plants for the fry to hide in or the parents will eat them. I have another 10G tank that i put the visibly pregnant mother in where she gives birth, stays a day to recoup and then goes back into the main tank so i can properly take care of the fry with 3 meals a day of frozen baby brine shrimp and crushed very fine spirolina flakes.
Remember - if you have your female and male betta together in the tank - remove them to their own tanks. They're highly aggressive and in all likelyhood will hurt or kill your other fish. Males are very solitary, they want to be on their own.

On the off chance you're not a troll, I'm going to show you why you should NEVER keep a male betta with any other bettas, male or female.

Scroll down for photographic evidence. If your bettas' fins look like that, it is not normal and they should be separated immediately. If they don't look like that.... well, honestly I wouldn't believe you if you said they didn't. Bettas have been bred to be aggressive for hundreds of years, and it is completely unnatural for them to live together.

You are going to have to be more clear on what you are actually doing at the moment and planning to do.... It seems to me that you have a male and female together in the same tank, and are trying to figure out what to feed them to make them bread.... That will not work...... If you are serious about breeding bettas I think the general consensus on this board would be for you to do tons of research. and another helpful hint would be to cut down on the slang and abbreviations as they are quite bothersome when trying to sort out what someone is trying to say.

if your going to breed them do it like this. condition the female in a seperate tank for 9 to 14 days feeding her live foods chopped garden worms work well and peices of prawn. your male is pretty much all the time in condition for breeding. once you notice the female becoming plumber and if she is a dark specimen you will notice vertical white lines on her body. then get a small container about 1-2 gal or it could be like a lemmonade bottle and put your female in it. then put it in your tank with your male in. dont float it or put the lid on the bottle or container. make sure the lid is open to air. leave her in for about 10 hours i usualy do this of a night. when you wake up you will see a beautiful bubble nest the make has built. let the female out but make sure there is pleanty of hiding places for her. the male will chase her around the tank and there will be some fin nipping in this process. when the male catches her he will lead her to his bubble nest then embrasse her in a lock and squeese the eggs out of her. he will then release sperm and catch the eggs and put them in the nest. (before you introduce the female make sure all powerheads or pumps are off so it does not disturb the bubble nest)
the rest is just simple reaserch but you will need about 100 jars or containers or bottles to house the fry. i tried breeding them and it was partly succes but the male did not fetilize the eggs but the eggs were in the nest. to be honest its not worth breeding them and spending all that time on them if you dont have the propper equipment. i thought it was anyway.
anyway good luck but if you want fry get plattys or mollys. 2 females and 1 male is usually the ratio for breeding live bearers. you will get babies within a month and they are so simple to luck after
good luck and sorry for writing so much

I think veggies have about zero nutrition for bettas. Best thing for them is live food. But you have to be careful because it can carry parasites and diseases harmful to your fish. I would reccomend daphnia, or gel foods.
