I am told that Betas..must live alone and even breeding them must be closely monitored..How do you keep the two ..male and female from killing each other?:confused:

This is a saltwater forum.

Even though its saltwater, I sort of know the answer. You need a big tank with LOTS of cover for the female in case they don't get along at first. When I say big I mean atleast 10 gallons and you need to have pipes, plants, rocks etc. If you goggle betta breeding then you'll get some good info.

it is possible even to keep two males in the same tank u just have to have at least a 55gallon so theres enough territory my friend bread his two betta's in a two or three gallon hexagon thing from walmart but none of the eggs hatched

[DoLceNBeLLa]

It's been done before, but every breeder I've read about on forums have said it is a big no no.

Check out bettacentral.com , bettatalk.com, and some other places.

They can really help you out with this. Since this particular forum is designed for saltwater, you won't be able to get as much help here as the other sites

ok if u r looking to breed bettas since ive done this before successfuly tank 10gal and two bettas male and female put them in tank and seperate with a tank sepaerater wait until the male makes his bubble nest and then goes looking for the female when he does remove the seperater from the tank so they can do the dirty dance once the babys r born removef her from the tank and leave him with the babys for say a week or two then remove him after another 2 weeks seperate them all and there u have it betta breeding

I am breeding betta fish. if you need any info here is some. You need to seprate them but let them see eachother. The male will produce a bubble nest. the they will spawn if put together. 1-2 noths later they will have eggs ang hatch. I am the 2nd person to ever breed bettas in my area. (dc area)

make sure the surface is not disturbed by a filter or air pump. and protect your female by giving her a hiding place. the male will protect the nest. i suggest you remove either the nest or the parents from the tank or the parents will eat the eggs. feed the boiled egg yolk intil their old enough to eat baby food. baby brine shrimp is also good.
