how long before she has babies?

[Jesse.R]

Nice!! My last batch of fry was of 6 too

I guess she wasnt done.... i think she had almost 20.. eek!! It's a bit hard to see them all but there are some at the bottom of the net too

 

[Jesse.R]

They're so tiny. I usually let mine out after 2 weeks

Having a Betta with Guppies successfully all depends on the personality of the fish. There is nothing wrong with having a Betta in a community tank if the fish is showing no signs of aggression. I myself have had a Betta in a community with Guppies, Tetras, and Angels with no issues what so ever.

I have always had male betas in community tanks n never had an issue, glad to hear there is somebody else out there that keeps betas in community tanks

Yes I wont let mine out for at least 2 weeks. I have a few that are about three weeks old and still look too small to let out

 

[Jesse.R]

I've got so many guppies I don't even put the females in the breeding net. But almost all the fry survive on their own which I think is pretty cool

 

[jldurfe]

I've had several batches already and none of them have survived. I have plenty of plants and decorations for them to hide in but they never seem to make it. I wonder if it's because i have some danios and they are very fast! So the fry can't get away fast enough

 

[Jesse.R]

Yeah that's possible. My guppies all have long fancy tails so they're slower than the fry. Even though I have 2 glow light tetras I don't think they eat the fry

Usually when my live breeder are about to drop they go near a bunch of plants and are very still, but you gotta catch them and put them in the breeder tank quickly after that

Mine took up to a day to give birth sometimes!

Would always try feeding Momma and if she was hungry I would feed a tiny bit of crumbs during the birth every hour if she was still interested, almost always the mommas were hungry!!!

I have kept a number of males and females in community tanks and everything depends on their personality. One of the meanest Betas I ever owned was a female, tried to KILL anything in reach. She was like a rabid dog. I don't mean chase or scare either!

Good luck and congratulations on the new babies!

 

[jldurfe]

I left her in the breeders box for about 4 hours, she must have had 25 little ones! So i let her back out with the others. I think i need to pick up a couple more females though because I've noticed some of my females tails are getting nipped. I thought i had more females then i do... i have abut 5 males and 8 females

 

[roydesilva]

Yeah the male to female should be at least 1:2 preferably 1:3
