hiya. I have a male betta in a 1.5ft tank. But he has never realy been interested in making a nest .Anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it????

let him see a female, not get too a female , maybe put her in a tank next door or a breeding trap , he should start building pretty fast

hehhehe kool.I took mrs betta out as he was beating her up.

I'd say that would be because he was ready and she wasn't, thats why its good to let them see each other without getting to each other , gets them in the mood

Well will i need to put anything in the tank for him to make a nest on??? e.g a half cup.

Hey Paul

Has the female you got from me been a good girl for you yet?

Cheers

sounds like there getting in the mood now

He sould start a bubble nest and when its done let her out and stand back

Well put in there then she jumped out. She got beat up so i put her back in the chamber then she jumped out again so i took her out of the tank.

try a lid , even a make shift cover with holes works

not all males will build a nest when theyare ready to mate - mine didnt second time round. It just meant alot of work for him cos he was forever chasing the eggs so i just made sure the water was really low so that wen the eggs hatched the babies had hardly any distance to swim to get to the top and the air.....

kool. Shes got a white spot around her anal area ???? whats this about. He seems to be blowing bubbles in the indian fern and everyone so often there seems to be more bubbles.
