Betta fish

[Canterthefishman]

When I went to feed my male Betta today I saw a whole bunch of bubbles in his 1 gallon aquarium. I did not know what it was then I thought it might be a bubble nest. Dose anyone know what it might be? here is a pic.





Thanks

I believe that is a bubble nest. Bettas and other labyrinth breathers make em.

 

[Aces11]

Agreed. It is just a bubble nest. Bettas and other labyrinth dish make them. Nothing to be concerned about.

 

[Canterthefishman]

Do bettas breed using bubble nests?

 

[Cichildlife]

Yea they breed in bubblenests.

 

[Canterthefishman]

So if I added a female Betta I would have Betta fry?

 

[Cichildlife]

If the females ready to breed(plump) you'd have a chance

its a gamble, i wouldn't try it unless you have breeding experience

[Cichildlife]

Nooooooooooooooo!
Bettas are much more aggressive, breeding them is not as easy. If you can find a female who is mature and ready, you have a chance, but if you add a female who isn't ready, then they may kill each other.

Ok thanks. Anyone know if you can buy betta fry?

 

[Cichildlife]

Maybe from a breeder, but a pet store prolly not

 

[Canterthefishman]

Ok thanks for the help!

Hmmmm, I have never seen the fry for sale, but I am sure you can. Most people raise them to a decent size before selling them since the average buyer is very interested in the color that the betta will be.

female bettas will get dark lines on her side while the males will get more color on the back of the fish more like spots and stuff. You should place the female in the plastic cup you bring the home in and keep it out side the tank so he can see and get to know her. Then introduce her in the tank.
