Hiya, this is my first successful spawn and I'm a little confused about to do in my situation. I've read that once the fry are free swimming, you should take out the male. However, about not all of my fry hatched on the same day and there are still a decent amount in the nest. Will he hurt the...

I've never seen a royal blue with true gold splashes/spots. Would breeding royal blue to a gold, black base avatar just net you a copper avatar? Been thinking about trying it out since I'm in the process of slowly starting a breeding project, but I figured I might as well ask around before...

Hiya! I'm new to the forum (and somewhat to betta breeding). I've bred alien bettas fairly recently, but understanding the genetics was easier with them than with these guys for me (gonna get a varied batch of blue, turquoise, and green kinda regardless). I have this new beautiful male betta who...

Hello there everyone. So I wanted to try out breeding bettas and I bought a pair from my local breeder. They are a dumbo ear pair and they look very promising. But there's just this one problem where the female's dorsal fin seems deformed possibly from not eating enough as a fry? or could it be...

hey guys new to the forum. here is the male, he is eating healthy. want fry to be HMPK, and the offsprings to be his color. What color or type of female betta do you guys recommend? what is this male ?

Hi y’all. So i finally have a successful breeding pair of bettas. I have a blue mustard male betta (Golden Ramsey) breeding with a black orchid female betta (Yin). Strangely enough this is Goldens’ first “successful” spawn. (There have been 3 other females before Yin.) This time however he never...

So I am week 10 into a successful spawn but have counted only one hmpk fry out of the 60 (a currently cellophane male). This is devastating as I was hoping to get a well formed koi hmpk female out of this pairing to match to an orange base show male hmpk i have. Goal was to improve anal fin on...

Hi! So i'm wondering if anyone has any experience with breeding HM and HMPK and specifically the colors that the spawn will have. I've got everything ready for the breeding stages, food, equipment, storage , everything but finding the right pair is an issue. I have a fancy HM male which i really...

Hello all, My breeder tank currently has a male and female betta in it. The female is separated from the male where they can see each other. The male has built a nest after 3 hours (going back and forth between her and the nest) and she is showing signs of submissiveness (head down, tail up) to...

Hello, I bred bettas 20 years ago and have worked with fish professionally since then. I got back into bettas for my home hobby (no longer doing it professionally) for the pandemic... I have acquired 3 males and 4 females. I became very interested in the koi and marble as they did not have...

Is this normal or what? I already removed the female a day ago.

I'm very excited to start my first breeding project this weekend. I have been conditioning my pair Vaudoux (M) and Pumpkin (F) for the last two weeks with frozen food twice a day. Both have a vibrant orange base color (or a pale yellow/red base I suppose). Vaudoux is orange, red, black and white...

The results of this crossing are: -So far just about every fry has a black rim. -There were no fry without metallic sheen, indicating one of the parents has to be + + but not showing yellow. (No green.) Edit: Yellow is a slower color to develop, and some are definitely showing the results of...

My 10 year old nephew has a beautiful female betta fish in a 5 gallon tank that I helped him set up, and I have a red Dumbo male in a 10 gallon, my nephew asked me this yesterday "Do you think Auri (his betta) and Hamilton (my betta) could have babies?" I said "It's possible" and now he won't...

Hi all! I'm new to breeding betta, so I have been trying to look up my questions about genetics but could use some more answers. I have 2 pairs of betta that I'm breeding... 1. King Galaxy Koi Male & Delta Galaxy Koi Female 2. Mustard Gas Rosetail Male & Mustard Gas (I think) Plakat Female I've...

1: Can the fry eat baby brine shrimp as their first meal? 2: Can I hatch the brine shrimp without an air pump? 3: Can I try limiting the number of eggs the pair lays? 4: I have read that the fry will be OK in colder temperatures and if there is no heater in the tank they will just grow up to be...

Hi all! I'm new here, but I've been lurking for years. I finally reached the point where I was ready to have a spawn! I bought the pair on eBay. After conditioning with bloodworms I left them in the spawn tank with the female in a breeder net. Both fish were showing immediate interest, and the...
