How to breed betta fish?

\nBettas are bubblenest spawners  and they are aggressive towards each other prior to mating. We recommend you check out YouTube as there are a lot of articles to review how they breed and more so how to take care of the young. \n \nIn a nutshell we do recommend you condition your bettas first and as you condition your Bettas you use super rich foods such as Hikari Betta Bio Gold or New Life Spectrum Betta Food. You should also give them ample supply of Live Black Worms to get them conditioned for spawning. \n \nAfter conditioning we suggest you get a tank ready for them, An ideal tank is the Blue Planet 16L Tank. \n \nLet the male explore in the morning and in the afternoon introduce the female in a clear jar. \n \nAt this stage the Male should start building a bubblenest. If he does then it's time to release the female in the evening, if he doesn't in the next 2 days then I suggest you seperate the male and the female and try to condition them again. \n \nIf the male and female doesn't want to breed they might be incompatible...yes there is such a thing. Just like humans, we can't be forced to mate with anyone... \n \nHowever, on successful spawning the male will guard the eggs and it's time to remove the female. \n \nAfter 48 hours the eggs will hatch and 48 hours after that it is advisable to remove the male as well. Try feeding them with Prestige Bettas Golden Pearl Fry Food \n
