I posted this in a diffrent form, I didn't relies THIS form was here DX
Another question:
Can you breed two different breeds of Bettas?

If you're talking about breeding different tail types, yes you can, but the result may not be what you want.

Okay, I was wondering cause I want either crown tail or half moon females but I have a male VT right now that I want to breed.

[tpocicat]

I agree that VT's are very pretty, but it's usually not a good idea to breed VT's because it is hard to find homes for them unless you want to keep possibly 100-200 fish.

Yeah I've been told that a lot that's why I wanted to see if I could breed him with something other then a vailtail, to get something a little diffrent. I all so all ready have sevrel friends that would want some, I would all so keep a few myself.

Another question (sorry DX)
How do you tell if a betta fry is male or female?

[tpocicat]

You usually wait until they are three to four months old. The female will have an egg spot, and unless they are plakats, the males will have longer fins than the females.

Okay thank you so much tpocicat!

Do you know if I could use a split tank for breeding or no? I'm going to try breeding this summer so I want to know if I need to get two new tanks or not
