Hello, all experienced breeders. I am not a beginner and successfully bred 10 years ago. But maybe age reduces luck? 😂 I have a complete disaster with my 15th+ attempt at the breeding betta. I tried 4 different males with 8 different females. 3 different ways to pair them. All for the result of...

So back in January I had gotten a paycheck, went to petstore, bought everything I needed since I already had a 10 gal tank set up at home, I buy two supposedly female bettas, they are both elephant ear bettas, they were small and probably about 6-7 weeks old when I got them. I go home set...

Hello everyone! I've been researching to breed my betta but the thing i can not find is how people keep their betta cups the right temperature, I think i know everything except that but I want to be sure that I get everything right before I try my first spawn. Thank you x Cy

Hi, the title explains it all to be honest. I have been raising these beautiful koi+opal babies and I was conflicted on whether to just give them to my LFS or try and sell as many of them as I can on reddit or other forums etc. I called and talked to my LFSs and it seems like it is more likely...

Hi guys, I tried breeding a red Samurai male with a black Samurai female. After the 1 day courtship period I let the female out only to be chased around by the male who started nipping her. Initially I thought it was normal betta behavior but then I quickly removed the female. Can I re-try this...

Just gonna post couple pictures of some that I really can’t be sure of since I am not a pro breeder, I just happen to breed my two bettas and now have 30+ babies. I am trying my hardest to look for hints about their sex but my research doesn’t help me maybe I can figure out a pattern if you guys...

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.
