fishclubgirl Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 So I have a betta pair in the spawn tank, no nest. So I've swapped out the male and hopefully this male gets it. Wild bettas in spawn tank, nothing. BN pairs together for a year, bred once, now nothing. Blue angel pair, you guessed it, nothing. Old pair of angelfish who are a mix of koi and standard who've bred many times, if you guessed nothing, you're wrong. Yes, the fish I don't want to breed, did and I've pulled the eggs. So now, I put together some calico BNs and will keep an eye on my mouthbrooding bettas but knowing my luck, nothing... In the meantime, I keep fishing out molly fry...AARGh.....

Quetzalcoatl Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 There are tricks to put your fish in the mood I don't know the specific tricks for bettas, but I am sure there are a few :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgd Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Use the mollies to fatten up the others for spawning. Bam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzalcoatl Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I know that usually playing with the periods of light duration and water temperature can induce spawning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanmer Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I find that white worms really do the trick for my betta. I can spawn them like crazy, just need to work on the fry survival rate. Maybe show them some fintastic porn ... bow fishy wow wow :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I got in a shipment this week and one of the limias dropped her fry in the bag and then I spot a least killifish fry. But my calico bn jumped and my bettas opt for celibacy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishclubgirl Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Update; I have a spawn of betta mahachai out of my 6 spawn tanks so I'm swapping out pairs. Had got in some nasty unidentifed bettas who were beating up the betta albimarginatas. Decide to move them in with the nasty unidentified livebearers(good match, don't you think!!). And yes, they have a bubble nest(in an unheated tank)??? Think I'll go back to collecting coins...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
