Hello all!
I'm considering starting to breed bettas, as I just love these fish and I love working with them. I've had several over about a 15 year time span, but never bred them. I know very little about breeding, so I intend to do a lot of research before even attempting to breed them. It's definitely not a hobby that I'll be starting tomorrow!
I'm wondering though, to people who do breed or have bred bettas, do you recommend it? I mean, do you think that it's worth the time and effort that you put into it? I guess I'm really asking you to just talk me out of it now if it's a bad idea, before I go through all the research; or talk me into it and get me really excited and dedicated to it!
I feel that I should note also that I lead a very busy lifestyle- I am a grad student, and I am typically gone several hours every day.
Thoughts on breeding? Thank you very much for reading and any advice you can offer!
