Outside spawning

[Tikibirds]

do any of you do your spawnings outside in the summer?

How does it differ from inside spawning/growout? Can it be done in New york or is it too cold up here? I don't know if we have an outside outlet. I didn't see one

You are in a similar climate as here in Michigan.

Although in the day time the temperatures would be fine, at night for most of the summer it gets way too cold. The temperature swings would probably kill them.

I spawn and grow out Betta outside in the summer or warmer month.

As long as your night time temps don't drop below the mid 60's you should be fine....

Here is a thread I made from a couple of years ago... I tweak things as I go from year to year.....it an ever changing process....

you spawned with 2 females and one male? Last time I tried, the female almost killed my poor male

it's usually upper 70's-80's here but the temps can fluctuate greatly. I don't know if I want to try it without a heater

If you try Tiki, best of luck! :)
