Okay, I've been keeping bettas since July, which is NOTHING compared to most people on the board. I started doing research the first day I had my first betta, and I know a whole lot. I've tried breeding bettas with diffrent fish every time, but it failed both times. I have a 5 gal tank, a half cup for the bubble nest, and the water at room temp. I put in my male on sunday and had the female in the jar with holes of an hour or so. I let the female out and when I came back later lat day, she was displaying her "stress stripes" and hiding in the corner. I immediatly took her out and put her back into my 10 gal with 2 other females. She didn't have any visable damage to her fins. So the next day I went down stairs and the male had made a beautiful bubble nest. So I decided to try again. I did the same process over aqain. I checked on them many times and they were chasing each other, ect. I left them together last night (Big mistake right?) And I checked on them a few minutes ago and her fins are torn a little. She is now in a 2 gal QT. What the heck am I doing wrong
