[Neo]

Sup everyone, im addicted to fish, lmao, everytime i go to the lfs now i come back with a fish. Today i went to the lfs and came back with a red tail black shark to put in the tank along with my betta, platy, 3 zebra danios. I also got a female betta and put her in a tank by herself. Im going to make the male and female bettas have babies. Supermans been making a bubble nest, how would i go about doing that? Put superman in her tank until they do what they have to do and then take him out or what? need some help.

neo u never cease to amaze well the male and female need to be alone in a tank for something to happen

[Neo]

so i should go ahead and put superman in with bubblegum(the female on the count of shes pale with a little pink) wont he kill her??

[stephenmontero]

not if he ready to breed he will accept the female and start to mate

[Neo]

ok ill do that shortly, should i take him out afterwards or what?

[stephenmontero]

as soon as the eggs hatch get both fish out of there otherwise they will eat each other or go to ur LFS and get a net breeder and put the babies in the netting and leave the female in there

[Neo]

how long will it take for the eggs to hatch? i cant leave the female in the tank with the eggs?

[stephenmontero]

just protect the babies in the net and the eggs will hatch in about 48 hours. and yes the female will eat the babies and some of the eggs

[Neo]

ok well i wont breed them until i get a net because i dont want her to eat them or anything, how long will i be able to leave the newborns in the tank with the female?

[stephenmontero]

well its kind of sick but u need to have a bunch of them die somehow i mean you have to think how many new betta's you want and u can take care of. so u need to have some get eaten by the female and others in ur other tank. just put some of the babies into ur community tank so they can have a snack
