Sorry Puritti but thats not all right. frist off I breed betta's. I have 20 males from Crown tail to Vail tails, I have 4to5 frys of crown tails now and 4 vail tail frys. Got 1 half moon plakat fry do to hatch around noon today. When breeding betta's there super easy.
But you have to ask your self these 3 question.
1. Do I have time to fed these guys 3 times aday and clean up what they don't eat?
2. Do I have space for the 10 to 150 fry to grow out?
3. Do I have enought jars to split them up after the second month?
4. Will I have food ready for the fry in 4 days after dad comes out of tank?
Now it's super easy to bred. Like Puriti says set the female as close to the male as you can. So he'll buld a nest once the nest is complete. You then Have to seee if the females even ready to bred, If the females ready she'll have 3 latrial line showing in her side is what alot of people go by. Not me I go by her egg tube. This will be a white tube hanging down from her under side close to the anual area {you'll know it as soon as you ee it }
This means she's full of eggs. If this is showing add her to the tank with the male.
he chase her and beat her up pretty badly. Vail tails aren't as bad as say half moons or crown tails are but he will beat her up none the less. Now this could go on for a hr or even a couple of days. When she starts hanging out under the nest with her tail in the air at the nest then she's giving in to his chasing and is ready to breed.
Once the breding starts it could last for up to 4 hrs, The male will wrap him self a round the female and froce the eggs out of her. There will be any where from 10 to 15 eggs at a time froced out of her. After he froces the eggs from her he will release her. She's going to lay motionless for around 30 secound giving the male time to get the eggs in his mouth and add them to the nest. after there do the nest is going to be packed with at least 150 to 200 eggs. My corwn tail female droped over 300 eggs before I said whaaa wait thats enought and pulled her.
Now after you pull the female leave the male alone for at least the next 4 days or and til the fry can swim to the surface on there own. The male will get a work out after the eggs hatch. He'll take them to the surface and pick them up off the bottom and put them back in the nest. This gose none stop for the next 4 days. After four days pull Dadady and start feding the fry.
