IliekIZ, not planning to restart your hobby again?

Blisssguy, that white male is awesome!
Is the female a pure breed copper plakat? Those cost a bomb.

Hey guys Just took a look at my betta's nest and I think got eggs there already after the female was with the male for a day and a half,glad I made myself wait for another day.
Will check in the morning to see if it is actually eggs and remove the female,pretty sure she will do fine for the night since she likes to sit in a corner and not be noticed She's also fast and good at finding hiding spots.

wo that's fast so did you make the food fist be for you try to let the betta make out ?

Here's a guide (from my experience). Please pardon any spelling mistakes.

Breeding Betta

Separating Sexes.
Around two to four months, males start developing brighter colors and slightly longer fin extensions.  If you keep lots of them together, they fight a little bit, but not much.  Once you separate your males into individual containers, they start wanting to fight.  Many females also get very aggressive when you separate them.  And some females fight when kept with other females.  These are guidelines, not rules.

Change Your Water. 
Weekly water changes will make your bettas grow faster.  So will larger containers.  So will frequent SMALL feedings. 


Feeding guide:
Option # 1.  Feed them Infusoria.
Breeders who start their baby bettas on infusoria usually rear 90% of their spawns -- some 400 to 600 babies.  Get your cultures started at least two weeks before you set up your breeders.  Raise it in non-aerated quart jars filled with aged water. 

Option # 2.  Feed Newly Hatched Shrimp. 
Breeders who start their betta fry on newly hatched brine shrimp will rear spawns about half the size of those who start theirs on infusoria.  Try your hatching methods early so you know they work, and you know your “eggs” (really cysts) will hatch for you. For best results, feed infusoria their first two weeks and start adding brine shrimp their second week.

Option # 2.5.  Feed Microworms. 
Possibly better than Option # 2.  Use same as brine shrimp.  Better, use Option # 2 and # 2.5.  Best, go with Option # 1, then add #2 and # 2.5 two weeks later.

Option # 3. Powdered or Liquid Fry Food. 
You will successfully rear about 5% to 10% of your spawn if you start them on powdered or liquid fry food -- about 50 bettas.  Your betta fry don’t eat those foods.  Actually, the infusoria naturally occurring in your water eat the bacteria that eat the liquid food, and the baby bettas eat the infusoria.  There are just not enough of the infusoria surviving this way to feed many baby bettas.  Only the strongest survive.

GOOD LUCK BREEDING!

Hey, Mika and Fiona! Congratulations! Photos!
I wanna see the photos!!
I'm getting my tanks ready, gonna go buy some aquarium pumps tomorrow evening.

Blissguy, usually there should be no problem if the female is larger than the male. The only problem that could occur is that they may not be able to spawn properly (Coz the male will have to bend his body to "clip" the female to spawn. So the eggs may not be properly fertilized. But if everything goes well, you ARE ONE LUCKY FELLA! there'd be tonnes of babies )

Start uploading the photos, guys!
