Where I'm at low is 25-26C and high is 28-29C. On exceptionally hot days water gets to 30C and the ones under direct sun may reach 31C.
To compare experiences, I've never had 100% of one sex. My best is only 90% - first time female during hot season = 90% male. This is my highest percentage of males and I don't always produce this percentage. Fourth time (or more) female during the wet season = 90% female (also my highest for female result). Most often I get a 70-30% male-female during hot season and vise versa during cold season. But the more I breed the female, the less males I get, regardless of temp. (4th time or more female during hot season = around 50-70% females).
ok that is wat happen to me last year all fish were first time spawns then i respawn them 4 weeks after that so the fish i spawn just before Xmas i'm waiting to see wat % of girls i get right now the hight temp is about 28 with a low of 23-25 at nights but i have read on a site that u can try older females to younger males to get a hight% of males n do it with older males to younger females to get ""% of females but i have never try it couse when i have older females they look like monsters to me lol but i have change how i use to breed bettas so i can try n see later wat happens, so indjo i have some ideas i'll share with u so i do some breeding soon i'll keep ya posted

Wow ! That fantastic parsentage ! I guess I am in Japan, and many may friends worry about this. Maybe our temp. is reall low. That's why I have many female. I like female, but I would like to have male too.

Oh, you did breeding last year. I am glad to waiting for your report.
Yes, I did post abotu my older female thread. But I gave up her. When I was in younger male and older famele in my tank. They're fighting, and older female won. Younger male seems fin-rot.
Anyway, do you know female hormone ?
And male has influence for it ?
no i did not know that part but it make me wonder now , in my steel blue spawn the biggest fish were females now they were in a much cooler part of my yard that spawn all so is part marble so wat i notice was the first marble is female she was the biggest at the time then the other 2 show to be females too so that may be my only spawn where the females have a higher % i keep track of all spawn from june 2010
